Last Rites consists of the Wright brothers (Paul and Nod) and can best be described as dark, melancholic rock with electronic textures. They were the driving force behind Fields of the Nephilim (1984-1991) when the original line-up of FotN split. After FotN the Wright brothers and the other remaining members (minus Carl McCoy) together with vocalist Andy Delaney started up Rubicon and released several EP’s and two albums before calling it quits. In the late 90’ies the Wright brothers started up Last Rites to continue to evolve musically and stylistically. After two albums and one EP they’re currently working on a third album (2008).

Last Rites is also a UK ‘82 band. They released an EP in ‘83 (We Don’t Care EP), an EP in ‘84 (Fascism Means War EP) and an LP in 1984 (This is the Reaction.) In 1985 they released tracks on a couple compilations. “Scarred for Life” was released on the “No Visible Scars” compilation. Two more tracks were also released on the “A Kick Up the Arse” compilation. Little information on this band is available these days.

Last Rites is also the name of a German black metal band related to the bands Satans Sign of War and Armatus.

There's also a death/thrash band from the 2000s that isn't older than the gothic band, as referred to below.

Glorious, ominous and layered gothic rock. Much better than McCoy's efforts at being FotN all by himself. Recommended! ...oh, and folks, "The Many Forms" is available on order directly from the band at http://www.lastrites.org/ . Buy it, support the band and give the megamedia execs a kick in the nads while you're at it!

"The Many Forms" is magnificent, I wish I could get it in any mailorder shop. So bad that the distribution of their works is that poor, to the contrary I'm sure a lot of people would listen to them. Fantastic music.

Great band, the best music by the Wright brothers since they moved on from Field of the Nephilim.
