Talk:Fields of the Nephilim

Untitled

I feel it should be added somewhere that the original guitarist was Frankie King(James Murchie) and the original drummer was Dr Andrew... they both left the band after recording the first album, which is very rare, but andrew is on the cover, his face smeered with white paint, which looks like its dripping from his nose, but thats just his nose. They're great guys and thier valuble contribution should be put in here some where as they both greatky influenced the sound of the band. And James Murchie wrote a good few of the songs on that first album, the name of which I have forgotten. But trust me, I played with them, and know them well. They both now live in South Africa. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.191.136.2 (talk) 16:44, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. Never heard of these two before. Need more attestation than an unsigned "trust me"! Anyone got any proof? Glyn.r.evans (talk) 23:07, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Never heard of these two people. Also, I'm sure their first album (Burning the Fields EP) never had a cover as described. Must be talking about some other band. The27thmaine (talk) 23:24, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Minsden Chapel?

This page says that Fields of the Nephilim were photographed at Minsden Chapel.
Is this correct?
Does anyone have any more information (eg. was it for a promotional photo-shoot, an album cover, a video or what?) --David Edgar 15:26, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

Here is a picture of FOTN at Minsden:

Great, that's useful, thanks! Have you got any information on where it comes from or when it was taken?

(Also, just a warning that there's no copyright tag on the image - it may be deleted unless one is added.) --David Edgar 11:05, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know where it came from, found it years ago online, it's a magazine scan. Copyright schmopyright ;-) Stutley 18:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

There are a few statements in the article which I'm sure are true but would benefit from citations to back them up: I've flagged them for the moment, as I'm sure there are plenty of Neph heads out there who know their way around all the interviews and can put their fingers on the relevent quotes quicker than I can. I also note that the pages for Earth Inferno, Visionary Heads, and Revelations don't exist yet: anybody...? Dom Kaos (talk) 20:35, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Eager Anticipation

And so this page shows up on my watch list nearly every day, with this "eagerly anticipated" edit war. Enough! I eagerly await this cd just as much as User:Beans666beans/User:Wander04/217.40.242.10, but User:Tommytomato is right about it being conjecture/POV. Time should be better spent at improving the article as a whole, so we can lose the 'inline citations' tag. The27thMaine (talk) 01:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

In Response to this:

We, as the band, do not see what the problem is with writing that the album is eagerly anticipated. It is purely a harmless emphasis on the debut album. The problem is that the small part that The Eden House do have written on Wikipedia has been getting changed constantly as someone also once wrote on The Eden House bit that the band has so far received a "muted response", which you can agree was unnecessary as it is most certainly untrue. User:Tommytomato please leave our paragraph alone. We agree that it is petty to have to constantly change it but we want to continue updating our part, Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beans666beans (talk • contribs) 19:07, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

The Eden House

Come on, somebody must fancy having a go at creating a page for the band...? Dom Kaos (talk) 15:31, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Actual root of the word Nephilim

The guy got it wrong. Nephilim is made up of two hebrew roots - Nephalti and Elihim. Hence you get the contracted Nephilim. Nephalti means "to be accursed, fallen" while Elihim is "gods" in the lesser sense or angels. Therefore, the Nephilim refers to the fallen angels who mated with mortal women, and not their offspring... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.228.122 (talk) 11:12, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Genre

Mourning Sun: "The album may be seen as a synthesis of the melodic goth rock of Elizium and the aggressive death metal of Zoon."

Absolutely correct. It's Gothic metal. All their new works are simply Gothic metal. The same with Last Rites and NFD. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.134.2.224 (talk) 23:41, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Zoon?

Should Zoon really be listed as an FoTN album? (Albert Mond (talk) 07:39, 15 November 2009 (UTC))

Zoon

Zoon was released in 1996 and not in 1997 as mentioned in the discography section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.19.202.70 (talk) 13:19, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Recent times

The section Mourning Sun and beyond (2005–) is mired down in excessive detail - it looks as if it's been copied verbatim from McCoy's filofax. I'm sure we don't need to know every single date - does anyone have any objection to me editing it down? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 11:21, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

No objections, so I've been bold ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 20:11, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I think it should be revised. For instance: "In May 2007, McCoy performed as Fields of the Nephilim for the first time since 1991,". This is clearly not true as they among other places played at Roskilde in 2000 as Fields of the Nephilim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.56.199.148 (talk) 20:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Well spotted! I've now corrected that info ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:52, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Gary Whisker

According to the page for Earth Inferno, Whisker played sax at the gigs. I can't make out any sax on the album, and he officially left the band five years before this. The CD's liner notes don't have a personnel list, but I'd be very surprised if he was involved. I was at a couple of gigs on that tour, and I don't remember seeing a sax player on stage (but then, with that amount of dry ice, you could've hidden an entire chamber orchestra quite easily). Does anyone have any evidence either way? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:48, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Years Active

The infobox seems to lack the years active section. --Milosppf (talk) 18:34, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Edits reverts

Hello! Not to cause a fuss, but to editor 212.183.128.131, in the future when you revert changes, please leave a note in the edit description or the topic talk page explaining your rationale. Otherwise it's a tad rude and confusing ;) I reverted your reverts as I'm not sure why you did them, though I'd be happy to hear an explanation so we can come to a consensus. Thanks, 86.141.70.107 (talk) 14:42, 29 June 2013 (UTC) (oh, to write back, remember to type four tildes at the end so we know it's you.)

Discography

Burning the Fields was released in 1985 and not 1987 as stated in the table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.222.173.183 (talk) 07:36, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

That table is for singles that charted. The EP was re-released in 1987 and reached the UK Indie chart then. Not in 1985. Karst (talk) 07:52, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
