Gothic Rock

Adoration

Formed in 2003 by Stephen Carey (formerly of Ireland's This Burning Effigy) together with vocalist John Stone (former manager of bands such as Vendemmian and Complicity).

NFD

NFD 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 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. Their Nephilim roots gave them immediate attention from that band's still devoted following, but press reviews surpassed any casual goodwill.
