New Project are a four piece band from Sydney Australia but now based
in London, the band released their debut EP 'Primal.Logic.Slave' back
in 2006 and it was met with rave reviews which gave the band opportunities
to play with some big bands such as Rose Tattoo, Skindred, Pitchshifter
and many other big bands with shows at the Mean Fiddler in London and
also at the NASS festival in 2006. The band are now back with their debut
full length album 'Ultraviolent Light' which was produced by Dan Turner
(who has worked with Cradle Of Filth and Bullet For My Valentine in the
past), the artwork to the album is quite dark and freaky looking which
is to be expected when you consider that it was designed by Paul Allender
of Cradle OF Filth.
The album opens up with 'New Human Anthem' which is full of heavy riffs
and vocals that are quite screechy sounding quite similar to that of Children
Of Bodom. 'Chemical Drive' has quite an industrial sound about it with
the powerful electrical sounds and robot sounding vocals. 'Cyberpunk 2.0'
slams straight into a killer riff, the song becomes quite catchy especially
vocally during the chorus.
'God Again' starts off with some loud growls sounding like something that
you would expect the Murderdolls to do and then before you know it the
chorus kicks in with the vocals sounding so similar to that of Chester
Benninton from Linkin Park in 'One Step Closer', the song ends in an industrial
way with lots of techno sounds and electronic beats.
'False Prophet' is a song that takes a lot of time to get going and once
it does get going you are treated to a mixture of raw growls and then
more catchy sing a long vocals which really makes this band stand out
from the rest as one minute they sound pissed off with angry growly vocals
and the next everything’s happy with more sing a long vocals.
'Coma' starts off with some guitar riffs that sound like they have been
ripped from Stone Sour's '30 30/150' and that’s pretty much how
the guitars sound throughout the whole song, but the mixture of electronic
beats and samples really adds dynamics to the sound of the song.
The band created a good and incredible sound that really worked well on
their debut EP 'Primal.Logic.Slave' and the band have now developed their
sound even further, they haven’t gone far away from the sound of
their debut EP but instead they sound a lot more comfortable with their
sound and have a better ability to write standout tracks and to be fair,
this album is full of them. Expect to see New Project on the likes of
Kerrang TV and Scuzz very soon, as they are the kind of bands these TV
stations really need.
4/5
