Nerve Factor is Ryan Paul and M.O.. Their sound is a blend of twisted aggro and electro. By adding a strong songwriting element , Nerve Factor places themselves apart from the statusquo. Formed in 1997, Nerve Factor has kept itself busy working on soundtracks for a few Video Games as well as contributing behind the mixing board to projects by Soil and Eclipse and The Razor Skyline. "The Criminal Within" is the smashing debut album from San Francisco based NERVE FACTOR. NERVE FACTOR delivers an irresistible form of hard-electro-beat, solidly anchored on heavy guitars and propulsed by groovy melodies. The highlights of the album are the infectious cover of Visage's cult hit "Fade to Grey", the ultimate club track "All for One", and the catchy "Close your Mind" with beautiful back-up vocals from Jay Tye (SOIL & ECLIPSE). M.O. (singer, keyboards, programming, producing) also produced the latest SOIL & ECLIPSE''s album "Meridian" and will be featured in DEATHLINE INT'L's upcoming album "Cybrid"(October) as a full member.NERVE FACTOR is sure to invade the dance-floor with its hard-edge blend of electronic, industrial and techno music.
