Fear Of Darkness
Phobia (white)
Limited Edition White Vinyl (150 Copies only). This small town back-drop gave Fear of Darkness the motivation and opportunity to make their bid for freedom and expression. The first attempt was with initial singer Dave Mac where the band attempted a fusion of The Alarm and The Clash, all rebel rousing punk attitude cries of despair and rage against the climate of the times in the mid 1980's. Songs from this period can be heard on The Virgin Land album that was released on Bristol Archive Records. Phase two saw the introduction of Rich Hulands and a shift towards a darker, more Goth tuned approach. It was supplemented by the addition of Angela Huggins to their ranks providing a gender and textual counter point to Huland's edgier vibe. This preceded the similar vocal contrasts used in the mid 1990's by Leeds gloomsters, Sisters of Mercy after Hussey's period spent in the band
