With their highly praised debut album "Nuclear 45 Is Dead" ( originally released on Bloodline / Connected in 2000 ), Swedish duo NVMPH managed to stir up a storm in the Hard Electro scene with an uncompromising album of Dark-Electro, far away from the beaten paths of todays so called 'Hellektro' sounds. Now back and signed to German label Infacted and musically inspired by bands such as Skinny Puppy or ( early ) Front Line Assembly, they create a symbiosis of past and present, combining modern sounds with arrangements and the spirit of old-school EBM. In so doing, "Diod Man" succeeds by delivering an album that is by turns very personal, unique and fresh in style, uniting hard electronics with catchy melodies.
