Before we go any further, awesome
artwork guys. I haven't listened to a note yet but I'm already considering
getting that tattooed on my chest. Excellent work. Anyhoo, this four-piece from
the Doncaster/Leeds area have a new EP for your enjoyment and it kicks off with
'Rapture', a tune straight out of the classic rock riffs playbook. 'Evelyn'
follows next with some wild drum work and a blend of big crunching riffs and
Brian Molko-esque vocals which just about works.
'Euphoria' certainly shows that
these guys have studied their rock and metal classics with some excellent chops
and nice use of the cymbals but my one complaint with the whole EP is that the
vocals don't quite possess the song enough and are either too low in the mix or
just not powerful enough to tame the snarling musical beast that the other
instruments are bringing to life. The closing track is 'Fenrir' which begins
with some slightly shaky vocal harmonies followed by a wall of guitars and
cymbal splash. There is promise here, that's for sure, but NNFP need to sort
out that vocal performance and then find a couple of big hooks and then we'll
talk turkey.
