@zsupersaiyan You are totally correct. Chuck Norris also gets quite worried and nervouse when he hears them. Apparently though Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing were their Mentors when they first started.
Keep Talkin........I agree with joey4245...they were the last proper Goth band...now there is no more music of this genre left...its finished...it was really a passing fad like all great music trends....unfortunately people turned into a 'lifestyle' thing..drinking blood..all manner of rituals etc...you see these sad people still wearing the close they were in their late teens/early twenties....though now they are in their forties or whatever
Fields of the Nephilim are the last truly big Goth band. Who took it as far as anyone did with centralised imagery and a determinedly inward looking sound.
Wow! One of my favoured songs when I was young. First time I see this video. It's excellent, just excellent. Will never forget me back in 1989 on London's "Gossips" dancefloor
A good friend of mine from college turned me onto this band many years ago. I was a metalhead, he wasn't, but he played this for me one day saying it was "about as close to metal as I get." We jammed to them on numerous occasions afterward. James passed away 20 years ago today. R.I.P. brother.
I was a mutant in this video, I don't remember why though, it was a freezing day on a farm near St Albans outside London, I remember we went to the pub for our lunch all dressed up in our gear, it was a real low budget job with Richard Stanley directing, this was his first music promo, pretty fucked up day really.
@Synnystr it wasn't steam punk. it was gothic rock with a post apocalyptic western vibe. they didn't glue clock parts to their hats. what is it that everything that has a 19th century vibe is labeled as some form of steampunk these days?
@MsDuquenne once they broke up after a few years CARL McCOY started up band called the NEFILIM so try that.Hope this is of help, i might have wrong spelling though. Thank you for finding an enjoying the same music i did, they were one band i wish i could have seen, they were the ones who openned my heart body and soul 2 goth music.ENJOY, best wishes
It could be a very cool character for the game Fall Out New Vegas. A post apocalyptic preacher living a scorched church in the middle of Wasteland.The look is perfect to include him in the game. BTW I like Fields of Nephilim as like Sister of Mercy , which is very similar in style.
@3dfreak2000 I'm actually working on the script for the first issue of a post-apocalyptic comic series I'm doing with a friend, and I'm considering including a character pretty similar to that, and based on Carl McCoy's look, at some point.
It could be a very cool character for the game Fall Out New Vegas. A post apocalyptic preacher living a scorched church in the middle of Wasteland.The look is perfect to include him in the game. BTW I like Fields of Nephilim as like Sister of Mercy , which is very similar in style.
This group was one of my favourite bands years ago and they still send shivers down my spine! They were awesome on disc and more so live. Makes me wish I was Dr Who
To me best band ever after The Mission Uk and Bauhaus though with a clearly different sound. Not many other bands could create the feeling of speed and power and darkness all together. Their live performances though I never see them live look and sound awesome till today.
I saw these guys back in 1989 at the original 9:30 club in Washington DC they double billed with Skinny Puppy and these guys opened the night. They scared the shit outta' me..I was all stoned and buzzed and didn't know what to think about these guys. I betcha Rob Zombie and Slip Knot listened to these guys.
but people need to cut the religious bull crap and just listen to the music, the band and song might have had a religous meaning but probably not, they just made music that they liked
I think Dawn Razor was the first Album I catually brought with my first wages as an adult....what an album....I loved Dust.....and I loved Burning the Fields EP.....Yes...I still remember, my youth
Does anybody know if there is something like a linking story between the several videos? Because at the end of this one, McCoy is hung up and in the "Blue Water" vid he seems to have some kind of resurrection. Or is one vid independent from the other?
@anulupongopongo The Magus (or Preacher) becomes the Hanged Man and travels from Strength to Splendour through the Abyss (a.k.a Primeval waters a.k.a Blue water) A lot of Caballah here but thats how i like to augment my imagination and enjoy the video clips more.
Bloody Hell people it's just a band name, take your damn stupid religious views somewhere else. Preferably some silly Christian band where I don't have to read it. Everyone knows that Band's associated with the Goth or Death Rock subculture have odd names, it doesn't mean anything.
hannahr77 have you any idea how arrogant you sound? Go and shove your religion where the sun don't shine and leave the music videos to people who like music.
hmm seems like the arrogant 1 is you, now read this, JESUS elsker dig selv om du ikke vil vide af HAM, men en dag vil du se HAM ansigt til ansigt jeg håber bare at du er frelst førend det sker

oh really, you can tell HIM face to face the minut your die, we all have to die 1 day and that's when we shall meet face to face with our maker, now have a blessed Merry CHRISTMAS and a Happy New Year
I am also a Christian and have been for a long time I also love fields of the nephilhim. Yes they are not exactly pro Christian but songs like fallen and last exit for the lost touch me spiritually in a very possitive way. When I dance to those songs I feel in touch with God even if that is not what the band intended. BTW threatening people with meeting their maker does not enamour them towards asaid maker.
So you love this kinda music and feel close to GOD when you dance to it, and you know for sure that GOD feels close to you when you listen and dance to this kinda music? I am not threatening I am telling the truth and that's not a threat its a guaranty, we all have to stand before our maker when we die, even you
but Man is sinful and should not pursue closeness to God before he had purged his sins. Therefore in today's times, art should first pursue waking the Human in those who are human only by name and beast by nature, (which is often the intention of provocative music acts such as this), and only then can the Human pursue a fulfillment of his godly spark, seek closeness to God.
I know that Man is sinful by nature but listen to this does not make it any better, and that's why I really don't understand how stompy thinks that she honour GOD by listen and dancing to this kinda music as if GOD where deaf and blind, seek first the KINGDOM of GOD, should be our first priority
But can finding the Kingdom of God be a priority' - once we had reached it, we would not need anything else, would we? And how would one seek God if their mind is numb and eyes blind? As I said, I believe the purpose of this music (given it has any; for if it doesn't, it would be no more sinful than so many purposeless items of worldly vanity) is not to corrupt, but to provoke - in other words, to strengthen the soul, and awaken the mind. And is this not the path of God?
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of men and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
5 The LORD saw how great man's wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.
6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain
GOD wiped them of the face of the earth, but not Noah

Es widerspricht nicht gleich jedermanns Ästhetik. Falls du meinst, es widerspricht der allgemein anerkannten Ästhetik: Die wollen sie gar nicht darstellen.
Das Video ist genial, provozierend und gut gemacht. Wenn auch leicht kitschig.
Wie kann eine so gute Band, ein so, über alle Maße hinaus, jedes Gefühl für Ästhetik verletzendes, abgrundtief-schlechtes, unglaublich stupides, wirklich beschämendes Video drehen (lassen?)??? Ich bin schwer erschüttert. Geniale Musik. Gar furchtbare Bilder. Arrrrrr.
Das ist eine Reminiszenz an Gore- oder Splatter-Filme. 10.000 Maniacs, Reanimator, etc. Die sehen nun mal so aus. Fields of the Nephilim haben doch sogar einen Song namens Reanimator! Und Carl McCoy hat in einem (späten) gespielt, M.a.r.k. 13.
Thank you nephilimfan for posting this but I want to give a shot out to Dresdendoll for original post taken down by youtube for copyright violation. I am sure the artists had nothing to do with this and am confident this amazing video will be up for all to see for a long time.
no disrespect mean't by that last comment by the way...The Field Of The Nephilim were a dark and sinister breath of fresh air at that period of time in UK music history...I'm a Metalhead,and found them strangely attractive way back in '84...
