Search - Nosferatu :: Rise

Their second best album

Ryan Gibson | Live Music Capital of the World | 05/04/2006

"This album creates an amazing dark atmosphere throughout its 1 hour runtime. Not a single song is bad; a constant flow of four to five-star music. If you like gothic rock at all, you should definitely spend the money to give Rise a listen. You should find yourself listening to it over and over. If (and by 'if' I mean 'when') you find that you like this, get Lord of the Flies as well."

Gorgeous!

"Nosferatu's first release is utterly fabulous. It is rare that such a spectacular performance is give on a debut album, but it seems as if they've nailed the trick here. "Rise" and "Lament" are worth the price of admission alone. This is what "goth rock" is, and should be, all about."

A unique, unforgettable spin on Goth

"This album took me two or so listens to get into, but now it's one of my favorite recent discoveries. All the tracks here are danceable and very memorable. Staying true to its description on Last.FM, Nosferatu are the prototypical goth band. Jagged, swirling guitars, desolate atmospheres, and tribal drumbeats are all present and accounted for here. The vocals are also quite typical for a goth band, as they're about as close to The Sisters of Mercy as one can get. Strangely, this band may sound run-of-the-mill on paper, but they're far from it. The songwriting is perfect, and the vocals are hauntingly beautiful, best witnessed in the title track, "Rise". This is a release that never loses its shine."
