FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM

Voted top Gothic Rock act in the Gothic Underground New Zealand Readers Poll. The songs are all strikingly good, all well written and distinctive melodically, sharing a full sweeping sound and a resemblance to dark Gothic rock, in particular Fields Of The Nephilim and Disintegration-era The Cure.

====================================================
Kiwi goth? Well, not exactly since these guys from New Zealand are actually offering a blend of guitar-oriented goth rock a la the Mission or the Cult (Love-era) and melodic rock structures. All in all, this works well, although I doubt it will find a large public: real death- or goth rockers will find this one much too soft & mellow & fans of ordinary rock will consider them a bit weird or just a little too dark. Nevertheless, this album should appeal to anyone who is into catchy or poppy Goth rock.

[In October 1997 they released themselves the debut-CD "re-Vision". "Whore Venus" was recorded in co-operation with the producers Philips / Moos (EVERON). On it RE-VISION combine melodic, gloomy and progressive elements to produce an original, powerful Metal-sound, which lies
somewhere between IRON MAIDEN, FATES WARNING and FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM and From a thoroughly good album, which includes among other things a multimedia CD-ROM track, some songs stand out. These are in our opinion the title track, the ballad "Wake" as well as "Fortune Lying" and the absolute highlight "Drowning" - where "...Frank and EVERON-singer Oliver Philipps sing a magnificent duet with brilliant melody slurs."
