Nim Vind released the highly enjoyable horrorpunk album “The Fashion Of Fear” back in 2005. After that it got kinda quiet around Nim Vind – the alter ego of Chris Kirkham - except for the news that he broke with his label Fiend Force.
Listening to “The Stillness Illness” I can see why Fiend Force wasn’t interested in releasing this album because it doesn’t have to do a helluva lot with horrorpunk anymore. This is poppunk with a sixties vibe and a very slick sound. It all sounds catchy enough and it’s easy on the ears but not for a second was I drawn into it. It’s a fun album that’ll work just fine as background music. Anything else is reaching a bit too far though. Better luck next time!
Score: 6 out of 10
