1987, newcaslte uni, just 18, saw a poster with the name on, imagined a indie pop band, borrowed a tape and realised they where exactly not an indie pop band and loved it.

anyway it was "the watchman",and i get the cd the next monday.

I was 18, and visiting my folks in Germany- 1989.

I had a girlfriend while I was there who was into the Sisters (like many others here) and I heard a track somewhere- "Who is THAT?" I asked. She didn't know, but her friends did...

We saw FotN the next summer at Loreley with Phillip Boa and The The.

Their show changed the way I understand and experience music.
It truly was a ritual.

The Chart show 87 seeing Blue water on the indie chart remember liking it but wasn't until 2 years later i came across a cheap copy of Burning the Fields 12" and the Nephilim LP cheap in a local record shop, too em home loved em. was 15 at that time and had to go to the Brixton gig in June 89. Glad I did it was one of those life changing moments still look back as one of the best gigs I been to, along side the other time I saw them at Brixton on the Elizium tour. So that was that really- that's how the neph's made their mark on me.

Must of been about 1988, just before I went to Uni.

I had a buddy that played The Nephilim one night when we were chillin'

I was entranced, then pottered of and bought all the LP's and singles by them I could find.

I've been a die hard fan since, I even have the FTN logo on my arm.

How many of you have tried to describe thier music to someone?

I've even manage to find a few converts to the cause amongst the younger generation :shock:

At the end of the day I'm just happy they ae about to enhance my auditory existence.
Give up all hope of heaven, you depraved shades:
I come to lead you to that other shore
Where fire and ice abound, and dark pervades.

I'm really new to the Fields. Or the other way around. Anyway, there was a certain music magazine four years ago that contained a sampler with song called "New Gold Dawn" that blew me away. And there was something else on it, called "The many forms". And that's how I became a Last Rites fan :D I watched their website for ages, but the album just wouldn't appear for long after I bought their debut, even if the song was out, so I read about them. And so I found out that they were in a band called "Fields of the Nephilim" before founding their own thing.

And I bought Dawnrazor. It was awesomely deep, simple and fun at the same time. And I bought The Nephilim, which is my favourite work of art since then. And I bought Elizium, which I didn't get into - it left me hollow, tired and unsatisfied, so I had to buy the new one. I'd read Mourning Sun was "nothing new, same old goth rock" etc., but that was very untrue, as I found it a very moving, many layered and interesting album. It took me four years since the first contact, and then it happend very fast - four albums in a month, and one month later, the Wave Gotik Treffen. I was mesmerized by McCoy's presence, the music, his voice. It was a ritual - but I'm born too late, it seems, because the Last Exit For The Lost of the Visionary Heads DVD is sublime and will possibly never be reached anymore. Directly after the WGT last year, I found the Sumerland website, and then this here.

Btw, I like Elizium by now.

And I write too much when it's four in the morning and I've got music in my ear ;)

Hi everyone. I'm really new to FOTN so I hope you will all accept me into your forum.

My friend gave me some Neph cd's to listen to a few months back and I have been completely hooked since. I can't believe I've missed out on them for so long.

I am really looking forward to getting to know you all on here and I have so much catching up to do.
