@deathlyfaith Sorry, I didn't realize your opinion was the right one. To me, he sounds like a country singer who wanted to be in a goth band. To you, he sounds like Carl McCoy of fields of Nephilim, who by the way, did not create the sound. The sounds origins are arguable, but McCoy definitely ripped off the vocal style of Andrew Eldritch from sisters of mercy.
@twilightkinko He doesn't have the drawl of most country singers, but I can actually see where you're coming from. Which is funny, since I abhor country singers with a passion, yet I love his voice.
Anyway, it's a damn shame he died. I love this band.
@twilightkinko I can't listen anything that could remind me country music........and Carl Mccoy and Andrew ....sing very different .....and this singer does not sound like Andrew and Mccoy either ...but reminds me more mccoy than eldritch..... There are lot of bands that really sounds like Andrew...but Nephilim is not one of them
Im sorry tell and share this to you all but Jan Kenneth Barkved my uncle is dead thats the man that is singing. Im so sad now to tell you all but its true he died: 27/10/09 27. October 2009
Så trist å høre, John. Det var en glede å lage musikkvideoen for disse gutta. Selv om jeg ikke rakk å bli veldig godt kjent med Jan Kenneth, var han super å samarbeide med, ekstremt dyktig, raus og ydmyk. Rett og slett et fantastisk menneske!
@johnbarkvedleirvik I remember when he passed. I've been a big Elusive fan for years and couldn't believe it was really over. If it's not too personal, how did he pass? Good luck in the future. Matt/TDS
@TheDrowningSeason Hey Drowning, many questions has been going why he died etc. but he died by a heartattack we found him the next day. Was a big loss for us in the family.
@johnbarkvedleirvik So sorry again for your family's loss. I've been listening to all of Elusive's albums again in tribute. The music will live on forever. Take care.
sounds like 80's music or 90's beginnings but this I like not as the other music,reminds me of Angelfish but the dude's voice is awesome,I mean I know this band recently becuz I saw in images of Tristania's Beyond the Veil small letters where it says that this guy made the backing voices in Heretique,one of my favourite songs and those choruses where awesome!
Great album,but I prefer Destination Zero & The Great Silence,but really good work,is amazing that the sound of Elusive to be soooo good and no commercial,no as Sirenia & Morten!!
Hehe,love very much Elusive,the old Sirenia & Silhouette!!
So what if this is reminicent of Fields of The Nephilim and Sisters of Mercy? Few people make this kind of music today, hardly anybody do it well. Elusive does it well and with pride, as they should.
No no, has nothing to do with FotN. Only the same genre: gothic rock. Reminds me more of Sisters of Mercy and Mission. If you look up for FotN soulmate bands, try Sons of Neverland. Even they are "a straight copy" from FotN, I like them.
are u sure? FOTN's music are way different than Elusive's. and for the videos....FOTN's were kinda poor (80's bad quality, etc...)and never shot one with just the band performing (power doesnt count, god!)so...?
It's good to know that in 2007 bands like you guys are still around. I really like the video, the single and of course the exclusive tracks on the maxi. :)
Is this the same band of If I could?

"Not to mention Elusive isn't half as metal sounding as FOTN."
FOTN didn't sound so metal prior to Zoon/Mourning Sun either, and FOTN has a much more mystical/unearthy sound
But I like that fact that Elusive incorporated the "Dust and death" image from FOTN, it's cool :D
FreakyJP 3 years ago
Yes, I want to say that this song makes me think to Moonchild or For her Light.
FOTN are unique, there are so many bands that are inspired from them, but none is like them...
