NFD (meaning Noise for Destruction) are a London-based hybrid metal band formed by Peter "Bob" White and Simon Rippin (both formerly of Sensorium) and Tony Pettitt (formerly of Fields of the Nephilim). The band have released three albums and three EPs and have gone through a number line-up changes.
The band was formed after Pettitt had left the aborted Fields of the Nephilim reformation in 2002. Together with drummer Simon Rippin (ex the Nefilim), guitarist Stephen Carey and vocalist Peter White's (ex Sensorium) he signed to Jungle Records in 2003. They made their debut with the three song Breaking The Silence EP released towards the end of the year. They recorded the album No Love Lost which appeared in October 2004, and featured a guest-appearance by Peter Yates. A year later, an expanded version with live-tracks appeared. The band was reduced to a core trio of Rippen, White and Pettitt for their second album Dead Pool Rising, released in August 2006, while White took over guitar-duties. The songs had been recorded the previous year over an eight week period, while the band played a number of festivals and support slots around Europe.
In April 2008 the band released Deeper Visions, an enhanced EP with six new tracks, two remixes and four videos. It was preceded by the single When The Sun Dies. The band went into semi-retirement while Pettitt developed his The Eden House project, which included contributions from Rippen and Carey.
After a number of line-up changes, Pettitt and White recorded the EP Reformations, released September 2013. It was followed by the third album Waking The Dead, which appeared in October 2014. It featured James McIlroy on guitars and Ali De Morgoli on keyboards.
Absolutely GREAT BAND!
