Last time I checked (just) NFD are still going *whistle*
Wait, did something happen to The Eden House while I wasn't looking?

It is truly a shame about XII. It's a tough world out there for bands right now.

"Comply" is astounding. I can't wait to hear that turn up on an album.

Re: Reformations EP out June, Waking the Dead out October

Don't have the CD yet (though I have ordered it), but I've been listening on Spotify. Fave tracks so far are "Remain in Chains" and "The Highwayman". Overall, I'd say it's good, but it leaves me wanting more...good thing there's a full album coming soon! :D

Re: The incredible vanishing XII?

Good news - they're back! With new posts on Facebook giving release dates for the next two singles - 4th November and 4th December!

*notworthy*

They must have been doing some temporary housekeeping that took the pages down.

The incredible vanishing XII?

Just noticed that both XII's band camp page and the Themes for Ancients facebook page seem to have vanished. :?: I hope this is a temporary glitch.

Re: Currently Contemplating a Live Experience with...

I not only contemplated, but experienced, a live experience with The Mission on Friday. It was a great show, despite a number of minor technical glitches like monitors not working, guitar strings breaking, and Simon's amplifier packing it in mid-song. Review here, with a few pics: http://stumbledark...

Re: Possible Nephilim CD reissues

It was 2005 when Mourning Sun was released, and apart from admittedly a beauiful boxset, we've had nothing. To which boxset do you refer? Surely not G'nR... I won't tell you how much time I spent trying to work out what Guns and Roses had to do with this before I realized you must be referring to G...

Re: XII Debut Release Today

Any news about the second single, I've been via the facebook page and there's nothing on there about this. I just got the video for virtue and am loving the sound of this band. Please SIr, can I have some More..? An update to the Facebook page just yesterday confirmed that "More"/"Lo...

Re: XII Debut Release Today

Well, an announcement has just gone up on Facebook of an August 1, 2013 release of a new single: 'More' b/w 'Love It Never Fades'

So it seems that rather than XII being no more we get more XII with "More". *smoking*

Re: The Eden House - Half Life

So far the pink-floyd-ish "City of Goodbyes" is my favourite. But that will change during the months to come, when I listen to it again and again and again. :D "City of Goodbyes" is great, though I think right now "The Tempest" is my favorite. But that's on the basis o...

Re: XII Debut Release Today

"Solitary Sanity" opens a bit grungy (the Seattle kind of grungy) and I have to disagree with SumerSon in it being better than Virtue or more Goth than Zoon. But this is solely based on my theory that the distinction between Rock and Goth Rock is the amount of reverb being used. :P I thin...

Yeah, I got a bit of a Rubicon vibe off of it.

I liked it - it's catchy and upbeat but still gothic feeling. I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about the vocals. I'm looking forward to hearing more!

Re: Possible Nephilim CD reissues

Answer: sorry Andy, nothing unreleased as it’s just Fields Of The Nephilim (they didn’t tend to have surplus material). However, the 5th disc will be an expanded version of the bonus disc originally with Revelations Well, sounds like I might get my wish for some of the uncollected singles/remixes, ...

Actually im not exactly sure what the disagreement was between Carl and BB over touring/promoting Zoon. Someone please enlighten me. There's an interview floating around somewhere on Youtube in which Carl discusses this - I'll have to see if I can dig it up. What I recall is: - Beggars Banquet didn...

Re: Possible Nephilim CD reissues

So it's going to be 5 CDs... Let's see: Dawnrazor, the Brown Album, Elizium and Earth Inferno - I wonder what's going to be on the fifth one. A disc of single tracks and rarities would be neat. It's possible that they might put Zoon in there, since it's being sold as a Fields of the Nephilim album ...

Re: Biography Fields of the Nephilim

Usually, publishers views translating as a one-way-only street… You mean stuff gets translated from English to other languages, but not the other way around? That does seem to be sadly true, especially with fiction. Still, sometimes with non-fiction, if there isn't a good English-language book on a...

Re: Biography Fields of the Nephilim

Unfortunately, french is my first language. Sorry, my dear. I'll release it in a french version firstly, then we'll see if an editor can be interested for a world release in english. It has a litterary touch (even if I'm not Baudelaire, ah ah) so I'll need someone "able" to give it the ne...
