Dead Son Rising (2011) is the sixteenth solo studio album by Gary Numan, co-written and co-produced by Numan and his long-time collaborator, Ade Fenton. The album is widely considered by critics and fans to be one his strongest, most cohesive and atmospheric releases of the 21st Century.
The concept of the record grew out of a set of demos Numan recorded for previous projects but hadn’t released. Explaining how the album took shape he explained: “The original ideas that sparked off these songs are now barely visible. It grew into another animal, something more experimental.”
Heavy, dark and deeply cinematic, Dead Son Rising is a blend of industrial rock and electronic goth synth. Because of its powerful synth lines, distorted guitars and claustrophobic production, critics compared the album to Nine Inch Nails (a band Numan famously influenced and has toured with). Many of the tracks are deeply personal, exploring troubled relationships and emotional betrayal. However, songs like ‘We Are The Lost’ and the title track ‘Dead Sun Rising’ pull from a sci-fi fantasy novel Numan was writing at the time.
Dead Moon Falling (2011) is the companion remix album to Dead Son Rising, with mixes curated by Numan, featuring a diverse array of artists including Tim Burgess (Charlatans), Alec Empire (Atari Teenage Riot), Gazelle Twin and Sonoio (NIN).
The above albums are included on the 2LP version of this new reissue, with the 4CD format also including bonus tracks and the corresponding live album Big Noise Transmission.
