'Dead Son Rising' (2011) is the sixteenth solo studio album by Gary Numan, co-written and co-produced by Numan and his long-time collaborator, Ade Fenton. The album is widely considered by critics and fans to be one his strongest, most cohesive and atmospheric releases of the 21st Century. Heavy, dark and deeply cinematic, 'Dead Son Rising' is a blend of industrial rock and electronic goth synth. Because of its powerful synth lines, distorted guitars and claustrophobic production, critics compared the album to Nine Inch Nails (a band Numan famously influenced). Many of the tracks are deeply personal, exploring troubled relationships and emotional betrayal. However, songs like 'We Are The Lost' and the title track 'Dead Sun Rising' pull from a sci-fi fantasy novel Numan was writing at the time. 'Dead Moon Falling' (2012) is the companion remix album to 'Dead Son Rising', with mixes curated by Numan & Fenton, featuring a diverse array of artists.
