History Music / FieldsOfTheNephilim

* AlbumTitleDrop: "Elizium."

* NiceHat: Carl [=Mc=]Coy's cowboy / top hat is as nice as it gets.

* NeoClassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Can be described as "Music/{{Bauhaus}} -- [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] -- Music/{{Motorhead}} -- [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] -- Music/EnnioMorricone, with a little Music/PinkFloyd thrown in on the side."

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The band's style and atmosphere is best described as "post-apocalyptic occult zombie cowboys." And it's [[RuleOfCool as awesome as it sounds.]]

* MohsScaleOfRockAndMetalHardness: Usually in the 4-6 range -- they rock a bit harder than most {{Goth}} bands. They also have a number that fall into the 2-3 range, and the instrumental intro "(Dead But Dreaming)" is a 1 (it's all synths). Some of the [[EpicRocking longer]] songs can run the gamut of the aforementioned levels of the scale, as well.
** ''Mourning Sun'' is in the 5-7 range, and ''Zoon'' by the Nefilim side-project reaches a ''hard'' 8 in places (it's more GothicMetal / IndustrialMetal oriented).

* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The band's style and atmosphere is best described as "post-apocalyptic occult zombie cowboys." And it's [[CrazyAwesome as awesome as it sounds.]]

* SurrealMusicVideo: Most of them, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dUyc1wR-h0 Psychonaut Lib III]] is probably the most {{MindScrew}}ing of all, featuring juxtaposed religious and military iconography and Carl being subjected to the Sundance.

* NeoClassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Can be described as "Music/{{Bauhaus}} -- [[XMeetsY meets]] -- Music/{{Motorhead}} -- [[XMeetsY meets]] -- Music/EnnioMorricone, with a little Music/PinkFloyd thrown in on the side."

** ''Mourning Sun'' is in the 5-7 range, and ''Zoon'' by the Nefilim side-project reaches a ''hard'' 8 in places (it's more GothMetal / IndustrialMetal oriented).

* CthulhuMythos: Cthulhu is mentioned in "The Watchmen" and "Psychonaut."

* NeoClassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Can be described as "Music/{{Bauhaus}}-[[XMeetsY meets]]-Music/{{Motorhead}}-[[XMeetsY meets]]-Music/EnnioMorricone, with a little Music/PinkFloyd thrown in on the side".

** The same applies to the ''Zoon'' album by the side-project band Nefilim.
* NiceHat: Carl [=McCoy=]'s cowboy/top hat is as nice as it gets.
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: The band's style and atmosphere is best described as "post-apocalyptic occult zombie cowboys." And it's [[CrazyAwesome as awesome as it sounds]].

* SomethingSomethingLeonardBernstein: Often, exacerbated by the fact that Carl [=McCoy=] claims he doesn't write down lyrics.

-->Music/FieldsOfTheNephilim, "Psychonaut"

Fields of the Nephilim are an [[UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} English]] GothRock band formed in the early '80s by lead singer Carl [=McCoy=], saxophonist Gary Whisker, bassist Tony Petitt, guitarist Paul Wright, and drummer Alexander "Nod" Wright. While they never achieved mainstream success, they have a devoted following and have been highly influential on artists within the GothRock and GothicMetal genres, as well as artists completely outside of the "{{goth}}" label, with Nergal of [[BlackMetal Black]] / DeathMetal band Music/{{Behemoth}} being a one-time live member. Their last album, ''Mourning Sun'', was released in 2005 with a completely new line-up. They seldom tour these days, mostly playing one-off shows and festivals in Europe.

!!The band provides examples of:

* ConceptAlbum: ''Elizium''.

* EpicRocking: SO MUCH. "Last Exit For The Lost", "At The Gates Of Silent Memory", "Submission" and "Sumerland (What Dreams May Come)" are all over 8 minutes long- in fact, the last is over 11 minutes! Listing all the songs in the 6-8 minute range would take too long...
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Carl's on the cover of ''Dawnrazor''.

* NeoClassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: Can be described as "Music/{{Bauhaus}}-[[XMeetsY meets]]-Music/{{Motorhead}}-meets-Music/EnnioMorricone, with a little Music/PinkFloyd thrown in on the side".
