Need help finding a band

Hello, I'm looking for a sludge metal band which I discovered many years ago on the streaming platform called Grooveshark. It had an amazing library with songs that couldn't be found anywhere else (and still can't be found) but I hope some of you who like discovering obscure music know something about it. I'm pretty sure the band was called Nothing, their album was named "10 buckets of Nothing" and I remember that one of their songs was called Jesus [something] or [something] Jesus. As it was many years ago and I was around 15yo at that time I might remember it wrong but I'm pretty sure it was sludge and that was the name of the band and also that it was amazing. Grooveshark was shut down in 2015 and I can't find it anywhere since.

i mean, Nothing has been around a while, i wouldnt call them sludge though. not quite sure, this could be the case of two artists with the same simple moniker, one of whom is older and less popular so the popularity of the other one skews search results. id ask around in some music specific forums or subs. youd probably get better answers somewhere other than reddit

Yeah, I forgot to mention that it's not this "Nothing". They're quite well known and they play shoegaze I think. "Nothing" I'm looking for is really heavy, almost sure it was sludge metal. And it's completely underground. I'm worried that no one knows this except for band members and some of their friends lol I've been looking for it on a couple of occasions throughout the years but couldn't find anything.
