Review# 242
Fallen is Fields Of The Nephilim's fourth studio album... Well kinda. After the third studio album Elizium and the tour Carl MaCoy left the band and took the name with him. Eventually in 2002 Fallen was released but has never officially acknowledged by the band claiming that it was released without consent by the label and is essentially unfinished tracks and demos that the label, Jungle Records, had stolen as a cash in.
While it may not be my favourite FOTN album it is still not a bad album. It is heavier than anything, barring Zoon (released under "The Nefilim" and is Carl MaCoy's solo/side project), to date. Musically it is more Industrial sounding but still with the Gothic elements to it and even a touch of the Death Metal growls occasionally. There are two tracks that are covers of FOTN songs of early EPs and compilations; Darkcell and Trees Come Down. They have been amped up a bit and renamed Darkcell AD and One More Nightmare (Trees Come Down)
You can feel that it's not quite up to Carl's usual standard so weather or not the tracks were nicked something unusual was happening in or around the studio but in saying that it is still an enjoyable album.
