Their guitarists are seriously underrated. One-off style of playing, unique sound.

One of the very few bands that could elevate their live act way higher than the recordings. So happy to have witnessed this.

These guys are seriously underrated. A great sound a great band. Timeless. Nobody sounds like them apart from ennio morricone.

I couldn't have put it better Roomy Lan. Incredible band. This is the best line up, best live footage of any band ever!

I think my username says it all - had it for nearly 20 years now and still listening. Through their albums and singles they ranged from raw power to elegant grace. I remember in an interview them mentioning about loving the space in dub music that allowed things to breathe - they really knew what they were doing and should have been so much bigger then and now.

I’m an American kid and I wish there was someone I know who knows FOTN!!! ❤. They make the best music. It’s so magical and like something terribly ancient and just as powerful has been awakened. Carl McCoy’s voice is like a mystical beast you don’t want to reckon with.

Excellent truth..

In 1988 in Dublin, Ireland I was a total Metalhead kid just getting into Thrash when I came across a review in Metal hammer magazine review The Nephilim album and I couldn't stop thinking about them. Then one night I chanced upon a showing of the 'Moonchild' video on Super Channel on Tv and I was hooked for life. I particularly loved listening to them when I took acid in the 90s, and converted many friends to their genius on awesome trips. I finally got to see them twice(2012, 2013) though it was really Carl McCoy and some stand in musicians(was in London when the reunited line-up played Elysium at 'The Forum', which is the modern name for the venue in this gig, four or five years ago, but only found out about the gig when it was nearly over D'oh)though the gigs were great: This gig really sums up how awesome and stand alone they were at that time. I wore out my VHS copy but bought it on DVD and still watch it regularly to this day. When they play 'The Sequel', 'Phobia' and 'Laura II' at the end I really wish I could live through that time, and all the times I listened to FOTN and watched their videos again and again, which confirmed that apart from all the shit we go through, fantastic things are possible! The only recorded gig which comes close this ofr the genre is Sisters 'Wake' kzread.info/dash/bejne/rH9_0ZexZMmfdbQ.html Seen both the Sisters and The Mission since the late 90s but they couldn't hold a candle to FOTN even if it's just Carl and a bunch of stand-ins I ended up doing sound for some favourite Metal bands I grew up listening to in the last 20 years and they all agreed Fields of the Nephilim are truly outstanding, influential throughout genres and timeless. Bless you all who enter here, and Godspeed towards Elysium in Eternity.....

Was listening to them in the very early 2000s. Was the only kid at school, maybe whole town, who was not listning to hiphop but to good music. Never got any friends to like this kind of music.So it was either having friends and blending in or hearing good music. Think i took the right choice and was the only goth kid around. Hearing them now always reminds me of a school time full of solitude back then. Thinking back i just realise of how much of a sacrifice it actually was, though at the time being it didnt feel like that at all. I regret nothing, though today it would be nice to have some old friends to talk about those teenage years.

The band's essence proved to be very influential, especially for the gothic rock genre and, later, dark wave, death rock, gothic metal and, in general, "dark" inspired rock. Although Fields of the Nephilim did not generate substantial commercial success,but the group is more underground, it's a "cult" group today

It wasn't actually goth, though. Goths just ended up liking their music. But the influence on them is post-punk/alt, not goth. Particularly on Elizium they have a lot more in common with Dead Can Dance than goth. I think maybe it's the gravely voice that confuses people.

@@VioletMaze Yes, but a little later I think. Personally I suspect that this is what caused the band to break up after Elizium. Carl wanted to make goth to pander to his new fans, the rest of the band wanted to keep making indie rock. I know I found them in the 80s from industrial bands surrounding them like Neubauten and Test Department. It was just in the same rack in the record store. I never met anyone who considered FOTN goth until the mid 90s. I didn't even know there was such a thing back in the 80s. Everyone was into synth and nuwave then, which was also true of me although I had already drifted more into punk and industrial. Either that or heavy metal. If goth had existed I think I would have known about it. I had a 50 cm mohawk and metal suspenders and had no idea. It was a 90s thing, and I suspect it ruined FOTN the way it was for the first few years.
