Fields Of The Nephilim (well probably just Carl but he's using the old moniker) released a new album in November! No-one noticed! It's called, wait for it, Mourning Sun - quality play on words there (though I'd have gone with "Son"...).

Anyway, it sounds like Fields Of The Nephilim! Only not as good, but still! Probably closer to Elizium than any of the earlier stuff. There's a limited edition that comes with a cover of In The Year 2525 that I've sadly yet to hear.
Anyway, if only for fond memories of them BLASTING MY FUCKING EARS OFF at the Mayfair - CLASSIC

So does the audience at a Fields of the Nephilim concert chant "Fields! Fields! Fields! Fields! Fields!" before the band steps on stage?

Good question. On another topic though, I was watching the video for Blue Water and wondering whether or not it puts paid to the idea that The Nef were never ironic or humourous. I mean, it begins with him hanging from a noose AND SINGING. Shortly afterwards he's in a big cannibal pot with some skull-masked chaps prnancing around him wildly - yet he's still singing the backing vocals. Then Jesus seems to be nailed up on the drumkit and ....etc etc. Sorry, can't take it seriously.

I'd imagine it's more along the lines of "Nephs! Nephs! Nephs.."

Better than the Mission, not as good as the Sisters of Mercy.
they are a lot better than the Mission (who, in retrospect, are near total rubbish). They were really hardcore about the doominess, which is of course a good thing.

The one who had an album dedicated to her or the other one?

Listening to Earth Inferno again for the first time in 150 years, getting to Sumerland: oh god, THIS is where I recognized great post rock outfit Maserati's bass sound from!
― StanM, Monday, 19 November 2007 17:36 (sixteen years ago) link
yes that one... haha, didn't know about Zoon being dedicated to her. I know her fella fairly well too.

What I thought in '91 about Earth Inferno still stands: that 16 minute intro to Earth Inferno is ultra classic. The rest is also classic, but not that ultra :-)
― StanM, Monday, 19 November 2007 17:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I still love the whole thing. It's really kinda great.
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 19 November 2007 17:58 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't say the rest was bad at all, just that I really really really like that intro.
― StanM, Monday, 19 November 2007 18:33 (sixteen years ago) link
They rock. You don't.
― Alex in NYC, Monday, 19 November 2007 19:05 (sixteen years ago) link
Sorry. I was just told I was overqualified for a job, so I'm intensely unpleasant to be around (more so than usual) at the moment.
― Alex in NYC, Monday, 19 November 2007 19:06 (sixteen years ago) link
No problem, you're right about them rocking and me not. And sorry to hear that.
― StanM, Monday, 19 November 2007 19:24 (sixteen years ago) link
"I've been around since Mooooses!" They don't write 'em like that these days, huh. hahaha I've never actually paid attention their lyrics until now. (and that's an elongated "Moses", not "mooses", btw. Great line regardless...)
I'm on such a weird goth kick this week. I dig The Nephilim out once every year or two, it seems, in a "lol high school goth fascination phase", and am surprised every time by how oddly affecting these guys are.

"FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM will play special London shows at the Shepherds Bush Empire on July 12th and 13th. The shows will be themed; the first billed as 'Ad mortem' the second as 'Ad Vitam', and each will present a different take on the band's musical journey from the point of view of mood and setting. The shows will both be filmed for a forthcoming live DVD release."

Depends on "mood and setting" I suppose - if one of the moods is "club singer" then I'd want to see the results
― StanM, Monday, 30 June 2008 16:45 (fifteen years ago) link
alright, i've stopped laughing. I heard a few songs off that "new" album of theirs and it is .. pretty good!
― baaderonixx, Monday, 8 December 2008 14:35 (fifteen years ago) link
BigLurks OTM up there - this band is so weird. They should be hilarious failures and everything about them is so embarassing and yet so many of their songs are quite simply amazing

I think "Phobia" is great but the guitar is a tad too close to Motorhead's "Ace Of Spades".
I think I like "Shiva" so much because it's just so overtly sinister, a seductive monster quality.

I'm slightly gutted that "Psychonaut" is just a bonus track and not the real ending of Elizium. Seems perfect to me.
