They're one of the few, if not the only, band whose discography I consider perfect. Every album sounds amazing and doesn't get boring at all. Zoon was the only one I was not sure of, but I fell in love with that one too.

its great but elizium and nephilim cant be topped. peak goth right there plus they managed to not sound like any other goth band. imo they sound more like a dark hard rocking pink floyd type band.

Yes. Dawnrazor is still a very good album but I think they haven't fully found their sound there yet. Really unique things started from The Nephilim. And this may be a weird analogy, but to me they are for goth rock like what Esoteric is for funeral doom. They have some overall features that kind of let them be put into this category so they could be labeled at least somehow but still they are too other worldy and trippy to really fit in and just be labeled as simple as that.

Yeah, you're right - not quite death / black metal, but I mean the atmosphere is evil enough, so yea I would say thrash mixed with goth and industrial metal, I hear some industrial metal in it as well. And yea like PAZUZU (black rain) that song sounds like fuckin old school thrash / speed metal, even a bit blackened thrash, like if you know Exorcist , the album ''Nightmare Theatre'' it's underground classic speed / thrash / black / death.. from 1985 all these genres were kind of blended, because like neither black or death metal were fully defined in the mid 80s lol but it's a banger

Yeah, Industrial Metal is what I said, I just said black metal, because it has that really dark atmosphere and the vocals sort of are like that, but yes the music is industrial metal.

I just felt it reminded me of the old school thrash/black in the song Pazuzu, that's all not saying it is thrash.

As ive been listening to these guys for about 10 years now, Elizium gets a lot more spins from me. There;s just something mystical about the ambient drawn out parts like Submission/There your heart will be also, and it just doesn't seem bound by age to me. I can also hear the influence it had on more metal bands like Moonspell/Cemetary

yea Moonspell definitely, I would also say the band Tiamat is inspired by them.

At least they do have a perfect discography as far as I'm concerned they never made any weak album or a song, that includes Zoon as well.

там оккультизма хватает, а вестерн мотивов я даже не услышал в их творчестве. з.ы. "...Он возможно больший сатанист, чем кто-либо из блэк-металла. Не взывая ко Тьме и не обратившись к Свету в своём творчестве испрашивать прощения для Падших...".

Their work sounds a lot better in the context of an album, but some songs that I think could stand on their own are Love Under Will and maybe some stuff from Fallen

Word is that Nephilim are working on a collaboration album with Sisters Of Mercy, which will be released when hell freezes over.

I love how they sound different on every album yet their essence remains the same. Elizium is astronomical.

есть у группы своя изюминка. не сразу дошел до них при своем активном изучении пост-панка и гот рока, в отличии от сестер. да, жалко, конечно, что они перестали выпускать новые релизы, но с другой стороны и самоповторы слушать не хочется. кто же знает в чем причина.

Как можно не выпускать новый альбом целых 14 лет, Карл !? Хуже, чем Тул, Карл !

Самый готичный гот-рок, практически идеальный, глубокий и невероятно атмосферный. Тот редкий случай, когда готика прослеживается не только в имидже, но и в музыке группы на сто процентов.

Нефилимы не размалёванные, зато у них клёвые шляпки и плащи, прям гот-нуар :)

Забавно, что никто не знает лирику (правильные слова песни) Moonchild, кроме меня и самого Карла. В буклете альбома текста песни нет, всюду в инете лишь донельзя ошибочные варианты глухих "специалистов". Хотя на слух даже британцу будет сложно распознать эти строки, благодаря голосу вокалиста. Но, без малого, лет этак десять назад мне удалось содрать оригинальную лирику Moonchild, к тому же целиком подходящую к песне, если более менее на слух... То был старый сайт группы, содержащий, помимо прочего лирический контент, написанный почти не читаемыми каракулями. Сейчас этого у них нет.

У нефилимов стильное оформление, только это мешает читать лирику. К слову, зная песню наизусть, я не помню одной лишь строки, что там было конкретно в тексте Moonchild. Что-то вроде I'll give you life's lie... Самое сложное, что можно было разобрать. Это песня настолько волшебная, что даже сама группа не может в точности отразить студийную версию живьём. Вейв гитары в куплете на Earth Inferno и др. вообще другой тональности.

Бывают редкие случаи, когда ждёшь новый альбом и независимо от того, как он будет звучать, а также независимо от новых творений других групп и реюнионов, возносишь долгожданный альбом в топ года. Вот это как раз такой случай. Пусть это будет даже банальный металл, уже всё равно. Только вот когда?

Sadly to say, but I think many bands come better than FotN.. tried many times to convince myself, but it failed in most cases. Nowadays I know some good (or even very good and touching) songs, but overall experience is not that memorable as I wanted Fields to be. Of course that's my taste and I really hope I'll agree with this someday, but for now..

Uhm, saying about Closterkeller album, Bordeaux was criticised a lot, as far as I know, and honestly saying I don't feel this album at all too. From mentioned albums, I think Blue is most interesting. Also, I really like Aurum and Violet. / And you're right, nothing can compare with Fields of the Nephilim atmosphere, they indeed created something special in this case. It's the reason why I'm still going back to them, and why I have hope that I will enjoy FotN more in the future.

"at times they were silly...on their Instruments", mwahahaha. Completely laughable. Do you even play an instrument @einexile ?? Paul Wright is one of the best guitar players ever, same goes for bass player Tony Pettitt... And to name absolutely boring bands like Closterkeller, Blessing in Disguise or Ikon in the same sentence with the mighty Fields of the Nephilim is a kind of special science.

I guess "they were silly" wasn't about instruments, Chrilu, as einexile came to sound in second part and he was more likely adoring atmosphere made by *instruments*, huh. Also there's no need to spread elitism in gothic scene, both FotN and Closterkeller/BID/Ikon are great gothic rock bands and there's no need to disrespect anyone. Also - this was not comparison FotN to any of mentioned ones, this was just showing my different preferences. I have respect for Fields, just even with their awesome atmosphere, I can't get into. Simple thing. FotN is not comparable to anyone when it comes to atmosphere, but there's also thing that Ikon is more catchy than them, for example.
