NFD - Break The Silence

NFD really did want to sound exactly like Fields of the Nephilim from the time around their 1988 second album Nephilim. The vocals sound the same, the bass sounds the same (it's even Tony Pettitt from FOTN playing) and Peter Yates was drafted in to provide his trademark guitar sound on the title track. What’s not to like?? Peter ‘Bob’ White is the man behind/responsible for NFD and I guess you could blame Tony Pettitt for the essence of FOTN lurking in the background, but that’s not what we’re here for. Break The Silence is the debut release by the now near legendary NFD. It sets their standard out as the title bearers of Goth Rock in the 00’s. NFD was formed when the last Fields of the Nephilim reunion fell apart after the "Fallen" album sessions ended in 2002. Tony Pettitt  joined NFD with drummer Simon Rippin, formerly of Sensorium, and Simon's former bandmate in Sensorium vocalist/guitarist Peter 'Bob' White. What they created was a Goth rock drama capped with one of the most incredible, spellbinding guitar solos you will ever hear.

NFD - Dead Pool Rising

This is big arsed rock and roll with a 1985-goth-rock standard bolted on – The album doesn’t disappoint, bridging the sounds of the main gothic rock sound with latter day darkwave / death metal – the band have all the right credentials and pedigrees to pull this off too.
