SULPHER already proved to be a promising industrial rock band when they performed during Eurorock in 2001. This CD is already released in the U.K., and the German record label Dependent will provide the rest of Europe with these brilliant sounds.
SULPHER definitely got a link to Nine Inch Nails. The evil ones will call this a copycat from the big example from the States, the beauties will call this an album with the same influences as NIN.
Rob Holliday screams, shouts, sings and whispers like there’s no tomorrow. Anger, rage and pain are the main topics. The music has different layers. SULPHER are loud guitars, forceful drums and intelligent programming. The absolute stunning way of performing and the perfect production make you realize that the U.K. got their own NIN. | |
Especially if you feel that NIN was at it’s best during their Broken period then you have to buy this album. Rob sounds rougher than Trent Reznor and the music sometimes has different angels, but the intensity and the true feeling behind this music are as real as that from Trent.
A song like “Misery” shows that SULPHER also found inspiration in drum `n` bass (in combination with industrial rock). “Blasphemy” and “Spray” show that SULPHER can sound angrier than Marilyn Manson or Rob Zombie at its roughest. Rob Holliday is lyrically more direct as well with his ‘I don’t believe in God’. With Spray, SULPHER proves that the U.K. got a band that belongs between the likes of NIN, Filter and Marilyn Manson. That’s no shame, that’s a HUGE achievement… (Beautevil) |
