I couldn't afford to miss this first act - not after reading the description on the promo flyer as "Metallica meets Underworld"(!), so I made sure I turned up early. Saints of Eden feature ex-members of Goth gods Fields of the Nephilim but you shouldn't rely on that previous job as too much of a guide to what SoE are up to. Their sound is full of atmospheric, sweeping keyboards and harsh guitars, accompanied by doom-laden vocals from the depths of the earth. Maybe, at a pinch, Nephilim in a very bad mood.

Despite the enticing flyer description, I'd say that their set was structured in such a way that they sounded like Metallica at first, but as things went on they wound up sounding more like Underworld. The bleak vocals reminded me briefly of Martin Bowles of Attrition. Here, they were grumbly with great swathes of echo and so low in the mix that at times you'd think the songs were instrumentals. With their chugging guitars featuring heavily throughout, Saints of Eden probably have a lot of mainstream crossover potential and could go onto big things. Their mixture of big drum sounds, heavy guitars and fast sequencers made their final track sound like KMFDM meets Underworld which can't be bad! I've not heard the first SoE album (a second is due soon), but it's something I've made a mental note of, and will report back here if I do.


The Other Side is the long-lost, first Saints of Eden album (previously unavailable for export). The precursor to their highly successful Proteus. album, the band are centered on Cain Houcin (Fields of the Nephilim) and play a dark blend of gothic, guitar-driven industrial music with a hint of metal. On Metech.
