I don’t usually review singles, but this is pushing the definition of a single anyway.

NFD have returned to their 2022 EP, taken the lead track and expanded, remixed and added to it so that it now clocks in at giddy 13 minutes.

Surrender to my Will was already epic but in true Spinal Tap fashion the decision was made to turn the epic content up to 11 for the Between Oblivion and the Abyss version.

As with old great goth songs it’s OTT and has the full kitchen sink included – a slowly building intro, strings, piano, galloping drums….

Then there are the vocals. Bob White is clearly a man who listened to Carl McCoy from The Nephilim and thought: “I can do that. But more heroically….”    

Listening to it, the song builds to a climax, you think this is it and then it takes a split second breather before off we go again.

Love this track.
