with the original neph bassist, Tony Pettitt
what do people think of them?nfd.web wrote:NFD have a distinguished rock background. They comprise Tony Pettitt, the Fields Of The Nephilim founder-bassist, who teamed up with vocalist/guitarist Peter ‘Bob’ White and drummer Simon Rippin when the Nephilim reunion floundered in 2002. Simon was previously in both The Nefilim and Fields of the Nephilim line-ups, as well as together with Bob in Sensorium. For live gigs they bring in two extra guitarists, Chris Milden and Steve Carey.
ok they're a bit copycat, but they're far by best offshoot to come out of the neph stable
for me, they're better than the real thing these days
more nephilim than nephilim
carl seems to have forgotten what a pop song is, and every track has a 20 minute intro
nfd use a more traditional song-writing model (much like the sisters used to do) where the song kicks in straight away, with a memorable guitar hook and a decent chorus
they arent afraid to belt out a great tune and dont feel the need to hide it behind a 10 minute intro and a 5 minute outro
they're great live, and really nice guys.
as "the neph" (ie: carl & whoever happens by at that moment) have evolved they have ventured further and further away from that kind of 3 and a half minute dance-floor filler, to the point now where their songs are so far up their backside that they merge into one long morass of synth pads & church bells... you'd have trouble saying which song is which until carl actually sings the title during the chorus
