Fruit of the Original Sin makes you sometimes think of Stone Temple Pilots, then back to Smashing Pumpkins. The specific requirements of this formation is, however, also to be found on the ten track album 'Bleach The Sky', 'certainly worth the listen to', 'exciting galloping overtones' when listening to this album is the feeling that the band would bubble up potentially held. The men play fairly tight and this is a merit that you do not, unfortunately, all too often come across. In addition to the already very fine piece rough guitar can also be good careered and, above all the moving-average straightforward alternative rock Songs. Also the quieter number ‘Zymosis’ that, in fact, used in an episode of the Dutch TV drama Roses and Vodka-lime, but rather in a calculated atmosphere!
Rogier Westenhof, 3voor12, Utrecht, about the debut CD 'bleach The Sky'
The Record starts with 'Sink until I Drown" and ends in exactly the same way with 'Beneath the Surface'. Between these Songs are ten tracks that many enthusiasts of the above bands (Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, etc) can hold and can throw around in their Room. Each Song is a highpoint!, especially 'No More Blue Tomorrows”, six and a half minute gripping by the whole time chance of styles.
Rick Dijs, 'Beneath the Surface' (4 stars out of 5)
Influences of legendary bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Muse on this album are properly processed. Certainly in the openings song “Sink until I drown” the piano passages and industrial effects rather strongly present. Other strong Songs are Cold Face and Infernal Machine, which especially stand out by much drama and melancholy. Highlight is the almost instrumental 'No More Blue Tomorrows'
Martien Koolen in FRETS- Magazine 2011
Fact is that the second Album "Beneath the Surface" by the Dutch founded band (2006)
Fruit of the Original Sin is high quality, multi layered and completely Fuzzed out!!
Joop Konraad about "Beneath the Surface"
Musically the Album is perfectly, most of the songs have a continuous drive, and the pace is good high. On the dimension exactly find pace and mood swings. But in spite of these precision retains the plate are intense and natural rough feeling. The quiet pieces keep you on the edge of your seat of voltage, at exactly the right moment to cracks. The voice make you think of Billy Corgan

Bio
BACKGROUND
Fruit of the Original Sin was formed in 2006 by singer/guitarist and songwriter Freek Philippi, and since 2013 is completed by Thomas Merkle on keyboards, André Kaysers on bass and Florian Metz on drums. Being a mix of dutch and german musicians, the band fittingly rehearses in a disused border station right on the frontier – as if it was to support their crossing of borders between musical genres: the band mixes elements of alternative rock, grunge, industrial and shoegaze into “a clear sound of its own” (‘Lust for Life’ magazine). This unique blend could easily be coming from Walter White’s lab: think of a mixture of emotional vocals, ripping fuzz guitars, grinding electronics, pumping bass and impulsive drums, and you’ll get a hint of what’s coming at you. German ‘Gitarre & Bass’ magazine made the band ‘Act of the Month’, saying: “This absolutely bombastic mix between rough Stoner rock, Industrial and influences from Progressive comes spot-on – and is great, dark rock cinema which can have a long-lasting and intense effect in your head. Really very well done!”
LIVE
Fruit of the Original Sin played over 80 gigs in clubs and festivals in England, Wales, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Slowakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania and Croatia.
