Editorial Reviews

NFD, the visceral London based darkwave / goth oriented rock band featuring former members of Fields Of The Nephilim, are set to release a video-enhanced album, 'Deeper Visions', due out on April 28th. 'Deeper Visions', which contains 6 new studio tracks plus two remixes, totalling around 40 minutes of audio, is also enhanced with four video clips. NFD were formed 5 years ago when Tony Pettitt, Nephilim founder member and originator of their unique bass sound, split from Carl McCoy after the protracted 'Fallen' sessions. He teamed up with vocalist and songwriter Peter 'Bob' White and sometime Nephilim drummer Simon Rippin, and recruited Chris Milden and Steve Carey for live guitar duties. NFD have gigged extensively, playing around 100 concerts and festivals across 12 countries, alongside the likes of The Mission, Mortiis, Umbra Et Imago and 69 Eyes.

This review is from: Deeper Visions (Audio CD)

I purchased this album thinking that it would have something of an atmospheric goth/industrial sound. While it did have those elements, there is also an underlying driving hard rock beat. If you are expecting this to sound like Fields of the Nephilim, you may be disappointed. The singer definitely has a growling raspiness not unlike Carl McCoy, but the similarities really stop there. The sound is more guitar oriented with GASP! even a guitar solo or two. The bass guitar rarely lays down as pronounced a rhythm as in the old FOTN days, but rather blends in more subtely becoming pronounced as needed to provide punch or drive at key points in the songs.

The one downside to the album is that it is a bit short. I'm not a huge fan of remixes. The two on the album are good for a couple of listens, but really I prefer the original versions. The album makes up by adding in a couple of videos, which are nice, but really I would have rather had an extra new song or two.
