about
Fields of the Nephilim are an English gothic rock band formed in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, in 1984. The band's name refers to the biblical Nephilim and to the concept of magnetic fields around the Earth. In 1985, the band released the 12-inch EP "Burning the Fields" on their own Tower Release label, which was subsequently reissued through Jungle Records, leading to further studio recordings that formed the "Returning to Gehenna" EP. In 1986, after being managed by a representative of Jungle Records, the band signed to Situation 2, an imprint of Beggars Banquet Records, and released the singles "Power" and "Preacher Man" as well as their debut album "Dawnrazor", which reached number one on the UK Independent Albums Chart in 1987. The single "Blue Water" became their first entry on the UK Singles Chart, reaching number 75, followed by "Moonchild", the lead single from the album "The Nephilim", which reached number 28. In 1989, the EP "Psychonaut" was released and reached number 35 on the UK charts; it featured a ten-minute track and was associated with a shift toward a more experimental style. In 1990, the band released the album "Elizium", produced by Andy Jackson, preceded by the single "For Her Light", which entered the UK Top 40. A remixed version of "Sumerland (Dreamed)" was released later in 1990 and reached number 37 on the UK Singles Chart. In 1991, the band performed a final series of concerts at the Town & Country Club in London as part of a two-day event. Releases f
