New NFD Album

New NFD Album out today

http://www.nfd.web.com/

Anyone heard it yet? Seems to have good reviews

Rise&Reverberate · 12 Jun 2006, 23:12

Was looking at this earlier today, by chance more than anything (was hoping to see tour dates for the neph announced), the snippets on the site sounded quite good, the vocals are very similar to McCoys. Anyway, have bitten the bullet and shelled out Â£8.99 for a shiny new copy from HMV

Not got that one yet but I know it's good. Will have a listen later just so I can look smug at how utterly right I was

wild bill buttock · 12 Jun 2006, 23:22

Hope its better than "No love lost" which I think sounds too much like bastard Rubicon for comfort.

wild bill buttock · 13 Jun 2006, 00:13

Just had a listen to the sound snippets.Sounds to me like some-ones trying to cash in on McCoy's comeback,but missing by a mile AGAIN!!!
Why can't Petit and the Wrights make friends with the mystical bulls'hitter,do a Bauhaus and give us what we want.Instead we get The last rites and NFD who all sound almost but not entirely unlike The Nephilim.McCoy's Mourning sun is the most convincing but even so..........

i thought "no love lost" was the best thing to come out of that camp since elysium. and that includes "mourning sun", which sounds only slightly less half-finished than that abortion of a "neph" album which preceeded it

bananacamel · 13 Jun 2006, 11:21

Always good to get different opinions.

I saw them a few weeks ago playing in Kingston, they were great

. I've got tickets for the album launch party on the 21st, but I was hoping to get a signed copy, hence the question.

As for Mourning Sun, it's a great album, just a shame he had to use Psychonaut bass line

(It a great a great bass line though so he's probably forgiven)

just ordered the album (and the cd single) from hmv

saw them last year when they played the bassment in leeds. absolutely stunning! what a great noise

and according to jo, the singer was a nice chap (some conversation over the ciggie machine i gather

)

Ed Rhombus · 13 Jun 2006, 13:49

We're playing with them in sunny Weston-Super-Mare on Saturday 8th July.

Top band

I can vouch that he is a nice chap, I had a chat with walking back from the chippie after the gig, lucky I did as he informed me that the barfly web site was down which is why I couldn't get tickets for the album launch party. I tried the following day and all was well

Just gotta hold on until next Wednesday for a night of heavy NFD rock

On another note, does anyone have any idea what NFD stands for?

bananacamel · 13 Jun 2006, 16:13

Oh yeah, they played Psychonaut as an encore, which was pretty cool.

Anyone know if they do any other Neph covers?

I've seen them do Preacher Man and Moonchild as well.

It was rumoured NFD stands for Noise For Destruction but I've since heard that's bollox.

wild bill buttock · 14 Jun 2006, 00:01

Its noises for destruction.Petit is the Neph's version of Hussey,IMHO.f**king brilliant bass player though,and for "Psychonaut" and "Celebrate" alone,I'll forgive him.

Muppet · 16 Jun 2006, 08:55

Am I alone in thinking that Rubicon were one of the few bright lights in the musical hell that was the early/mid ninetees? Both "What Starts Ends" and "Room 101" are classics. So there.

I've not heard "Dead Pool Rising" yet, my biggest worry is that it won't be as good as "No Love Lost", which was indeed very very good. Oh, the vocals are rather McCoy-ish superficcialy; but then if you listen to the Neph straight after NFD, you realise they're not that similar after all. So I think, anyhoo.

16 Jun 2006, 10:09

from listening "no love lost", i'd say yer man from nfd has just as many jaz coleman-sisms as he does mcCoy-isms.

the whole singy/shouty hybrid that he does on the faster tracks is very KJ

You're not alone, "What Starts Ends" is a quality album IMHO.

I preferred it to Zoon, too heavy for me, and that dodgy tartan hat was a bit of a turn off.

Nope, loved them both

In fact, I could really do with another copy of "Room 101" as mine is f**ked

wild bill buttock · 17 Jun 2006, 00:20

You just know I'm gonna disagree don't you?I hated Rubicon.Fields of the nephilim trying to be pearl jam,Its such a crap idea and should have been strangled at birth.And that singer,Sweet baby Jesus!he couldn't carry a shopping bag let alone a tune.
The last rites ain't too bad though.
Zoon was poo I concur.

I have to say of all McCoy's ex-collaborators I'm most taken with
Saint Of Eden (tenuous as the link is - Cian Houchin played bass for
The Nefilim).
Of course it could be something to do with the use of a drum machine...

Muppet · 18 Jun 2006, 10:34

I actually thought that Andy Delaney was an Excellent singer, and brought something a bit different to the mix. I quite liked "Ten", so I guess the Pearl Jam thing wasn't a problem for me! And with songs like "On Your Side", "Rivers", "Killing Time" etc, they made some of the best music of the 90's. Honestly.

But back to NFD.... has anyone got the album yet? Must away to Amazon in a moment.... as I mentioned in my previous post, I'm a bit concerned it won't be as good as their first; the single and the samples I've heard just don't seem as ...ummm... ambituous as the stuff on "No Love Lost?" I'm hoping for long guitar burn-outs like "Lost Souls" for example!!!
