Review by enfantterrible Jan 12, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
This band would completely have fallen into forgetfulness and oblivion if it was not for two reasons. The presence of Rhys Fulber from Front Line Assembly and because it was too damn good! Unfortunately/uncannily all these albums are out of print and unavailable since Third Mind records passed away a long time ago, more strange is the fact that few people knows or reminds this band.
Incredibly they released just two albums: Pearl of Great Price and Word-Flesh-Bone (Which is somehow a remix from the debut plus some other versions worked a lot more and with better equipment)
Ok this is EBM/neoclassical and martial industrial together, mystic themes and heathenism. Very original and well worked even today, doesn’t matter if the sounds are a bit “outdated” this is greatly worked and fierce fully felt. Strong beats, samplers and obscure atmospheres of war and violence, smart use of live drum samplers and harsh aggressive voice with unholy lyrics.
One thing to highlight is that there was not a band from the martial industrial “movement” at that moment working in this direction (aside from Laibach, there were not even a “movement”), they were all preteens at that time so this should be labelled as an early purveyor of the genre!
Deja-vu is the only music available today. A compilation with some songs from the debut album and all the ones from the second mini cd.
You can now rescue them from the grave of forgetfulness and oblivion as they deserve to march again and make your heart pound with the power of his martial beats.

WILL is a dense project from north region of America. They use an interesting style in Elektro scene, since they combine the intention from the electronic sounds with classic music structure and Gregorian chant, creating an epic atmosphere. That is why compare such an important projects like Laibach & In The Nursery. WILL is a singer project of Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Cyberaktif, Intermix, Noise Unit & Delerium).
