Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Is it not the 25th anniversary this year since the original line up of FOTN was first founded? Or was it last year? I thought that FOTN were founded in 1984, but I am sure that I have also read 1983.Blue Angel wrote:Yeah, yeah, I know it was last September...

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Well, the 24th Moment was in 2007, as I recall, which, for extra Mystical Bollox (tm), was not only on the 24th of May, but 24 years after the formation of the band. Or so I seem to remember reading at the time. It's probably still on the official site somewhere...Mark Anthony Quested wrote:Is it not the 25th anniversary this year since the original line up of FOTN was first founded? Or was it last year?

So, in answer to your questions: No, and Yes, in that order.

ERm... I think The Nephilim in question is the 1988 album by the band Fields of the Nephilim which was 20 years old last year and will be celebrating its coming of age party this year.

yep.....at least 2 remasters (Dawnrazor and Nephilim) should be released as per updated tech....
I know I am getting older but everytime a song comes on from one of those two albums in a mix......I have to crank the stereo just to have the same loudness as other cds.......

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Yep... it's 25 years or so... Great innit?! It's the best time now to release a big box, beautifully packed in sheerfaith artwork, containing live material from SBE gigs, and maybe even from the Astoria or Helldone.Wow! Plus unreleased tracks from Fallen/MS era. All this obviously only as a supplement to the absolutely fantastic and completely new studio record that will make us crawl on our broken knees. Oh i'm smart aint i?! See Carl if you're reading... Man we could make lots of money togetherMark Anthony Quested wrote:

Yes, but what if Carl is a firm believer in "reverse reverse psychology" ?

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
I love the whole album from start to finish, it's an absolute masterpiece. I also quite like Shiva quite a good bit, although it's not as awesome as 'Shrould Exordium' though. The reason I'm comparing it to 'Shrould' is because it is almost similar, in terms of the dark vocals, and at times it's hard to hear what Carl is saying in both songs. I don't know why Carl hasn't thought about re-releasing these classic albums, especially since other classic bands like The Mission, Sisters, Joy Division and The Cure are all re-releasing their classic albums with better volume, sound, bonus songs and lots of inner notes. I think all the albums from 'Dawnrazor to the Revelations and Earth Inferno' albums should definitely be given a good remastering.Mont Ventoux wrote:I like Shiva, I don't understand why it's a song so "hated". Very dark, great atmosphere.
And then Shiva has a particular rule in the album, IMHO, it breaks the first part, more violent and direct and it introduces the second part, more quiet and soft. Shiva works and sound good.
Phobia instead doesn't like me. The worst Nephilim song again Power for me.

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Amen to that. Considering the difference the remasters made to KJ albums from the same period, it HAS to be done one day.. doesn't it?

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
The Nephilim is quite possibly the best album ever made. But record company/ego wankery means the possibilty of seeing some remastered reissue akin to The Cure or Sisters is as likely as me waking up pregnant.
The first bit sounds like Bruce Wayne, and the second bit sounds like Batman.
Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Beggars seem content to keep re-pressing the albums, so there must be some demand...
Considering some of the "crap" (in subjective terms) that they re-release, and also the effort they expend in doing stuff like the Cult box sets, its hard to imagine that they wouldn't make a few shekels from a comprehensive Neph reissue program...

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Hopefully they will at some stage. I've had to beef up the volume on all my Neph CDs from 'Dawnrazor to Revelations', because the albums were made in the days of analogue and dreaded low AAD volume. They sound a lot louder now, but not too load like some of todays albums. I just got tired of having to higher up the volume on both my iPod and my stereo all the time. If anybody wants me to send them to them just pm me.Ande wrote:Beggars seem content to keep re-pressing the albums, so there must be some demand...

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
That´s not really a problem to the "old" releases, it´s a major problem that new productions are messed up with loudness, compression etc. Everyone wants to be the "loudest" but the real dynamics gets lost.WolfLover wrote:I've had to beef up the volume on all my Neph CDs from 'Dawnrazor to Revelations', because the albums were made in the days of analogue and dreaded low AAD volume.

so the old neph albums aren´t really "quiet" - turned up the volume for normal listening they provide this feeling for dynamics, louder and quiter areas of the songs for telling a story - especially on "Last Exit" to give you the feeling for taking you on a trip.
... And this old neph Albums aren´t really quiter then ORIGINAL releases of Dead can Dance, Pink Floyd - it´s just caused to the Loudness wars on newer stuff.
So i hope when a re release is in the pipeline, that the feeling of the old albums doesn´t gets lost caused to lots of compression and this useless loudness wars. For me as Hi Fi listener "The Nephilim" and "Elizium" are brilliant as they are - even Mourning Sun can´t reach this.

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
I know I go off-topic but where can I find the sales of all Nephilim's records, not only The Nephilim ?
Are they visible somewhere?
Probably Andy or someone else of you knows sales data however
I think that the new release of old Dead Can Dance or Sisters or Cure albums depends also from the fact that they have sold several number of copyes when they came out.

Re: The Nephilim - 20th Anniversary
Agreed! If they're going to swamp us with as shitty remasters as those of, say, New Model Army's "Impurity", I want no Neph remasters ever!NorthernNephilim wrote:That´s not really a problem to the "old" releases, it´s a major problem that new productions are messed up with loudness, compression etc. Everyone wants to be the "loudest" but the real dynamics gets lost.
