Teen Gothic

⛔️ WARNING: I RAMBLE ⛔️

I love Fields of The Nephilim so much. Even though they are only one of my favorite bands, there is no band considered goth or anything else that can ever scratch the precise itch that Neph does for me. Not even the Sisters of Mercy (who I truly LOVE) can compare with FOTN in terms of similarity, though Neph is occasionally labeled as a Sisters clone, which I genuinely don’t understand. It’s as if people see hats and hear “goth” and think “OMG just another copy”. Anyways, back to the music itself: FOTN have a timeless, evil yet Angelic, heavy yet ethereal vibe that frankly causes my disbelief that human beings sat in a studio and recorded that fantastic shit. What do you MEAN an ancient and immortal god wasn’t resurrected from the core of the earth to call upon his minions!? They sound so 1980s yet an angry medieval dragon could bellow out in a mighty voice the words that Carl McCoy such does.
