Does anyone remember the days in the 80's when Goths would try and do a 'Neph' look and basically pour flour over themselves so they get all 'dusty' and looked like they have been walking through a desert/dusty western city. Ah they were the days! :D

[@garybryson9629]

[@KreeZafi]

That's also pretty much what the industrial folks are doing now ;)

[@RighteousBrother]

Ha! I did that, but I didn't use flour, me and a friend went to a local chalk pit and got covered in dust one summer evening, then onto the club!

[@neighborsteffen3760]

from norway here, in the late 80ies the tuff guys had sort of home made trench coats and poured olive oil on them and walked past semi trailers to get the dusty look and it actually worked =)

[@MintythecatIsABeast]

Still happens, but yes, it's more of a Neph thing :) I always crack up with all the Carl McCoy impersonators that you see on their way to see the band :)

One of the very best bands I ever had the privilege to see live. Saw them in various pits pre-Dawnrazor, then in bigger venues during the Dawnrazor period, and bigger still during the Nephilim album cycle and finally at the Mission XXV Anniversary bash at Brixton. They have never disappointed and remain one of my favourite bands ever. Totally agree they never got the kudos they deserved.

Such artistry, this must be from a bygone era when people could take creative risks.

[@Albrecht777]

Although I agree, the Nephilim remain perhaps the _only_ band to have achieved success without daytime radio airplay, no Peel session, and facing a huge amount of media hostility (or simply a lack of media). Had they not built up a following on the live circuit via word of mouth and impressive performances, they would have been completely ignored. That they broke through and did incredibly well completely on their own merits is, as far as I am aware, basically a one-off. The creative risk that they took thus paid off, but they probably remain the exception that proves the rule - even for that era, which boasted huge numbers of vastly creative groups.

Out of all the Goth bands that came out of the scene. Bauhaus, The Cure, Sisters of Mercy, and The Mission UK. Fields of the Nephilim is the best out of all of them. I'm not saying those other bands are terrible. I just find with Fields of the Nephilim they were the Alice in Chains of the Goth Scene. They were the heaviest, and they were willing to go full metal in their songs especially in their later albums. and their songs and lyrics were just so darker and ominous with the Occult themes they used that just separated them from all the other bands. Not only that, but they inspired a lot of Metal bands as well. From Paradise Lost, and My Dying Bride, to bands like Rotting Christ.

BURGERRAMA sounds like Andrew Eldritch joins the Mission? You are aware that the bulk of the Mission were originally in the Sisters of Mercy aren’t you? So the sound of everything Sisters of Mercy did from Temple of Love to First and Last and Always is essentially the sound of Eldritch with the Mission. They left him before he recorded Floodland.
