Well yeah there was Zoon but it was a bit s**t to say the least and Fallen which was worse still.Actually I thought SSV was a great idea,Von went back up in my book for completely ripping the p*ss out of Warners,imagine the faces of those irony free record company execs when they heard what they thought was going to be the next big SoM album.Ace stuff!Badlander wrote:15 years ?

You may not like it much, but it's still much better than SSV.
Beware, some HLers may even like it though.
Brilliant!I might be a cheeky bastard and start a Neph appreciation thread when I've been on here a bit longer.I know they started off as Sisters copyists but *Whispers*didn't the pupils become the masters?Big Si wrote:We're FOTN fans too!

I get the irony too, but that doesn't make it a good, not even listenable, album. The fact that it was made to be bad doesn't make it good.wild bill buttock wrote: Well yeah there was Zoon but it was a bit s**t to say the least and Fallen which was worse still.Actually I thought SSV was a great idea,Von went back up in my book for completely ripping the p*ss out of Warners,imagine the faces of those irony free record company execs when they heard what they thought was going to be the next big SoM album.Ace stuff!

Perhaps I should have said;15 years for an official Fields of the nephilim release.Zoon was Carl McCoy's solo project "The nefilim" and a deliberate attempt to escape the goth constraints of FotN,but its still crap.Badlander wrote:I get the irony too, but that doesn't make it a good, not even listenable, album.

No wonder Fallen is s**t :
- unofficial release
- demos
'twas never meant to see the light of day in the first place.
And I quite like the Zoon album.
IMHO it's still better than Rubicon.wild bill buttock wrote:Perhaps I should have said;15 years for an official Fields of the nephilim release.Zoon was Carl McCoy's solo project "The nefilim" and a deliberate attempt to escape the goth constraints of FotN,but its still crap.
It was only meant to p*ss off the record company !And yes I agree SSV is terrible rubbish but it was never meant for us lot to hear in the first place.
Glad to see we agree.wild bill buttock wrote:Jesus Rubicon?How f**king dreadful were they?I ritually burnt my special Carl McCoy dusty hat after seeing their first tour.Where did they get that bloody singer from?Words cannot do them justice.And bloody NFD sound exactly like them as well.yeeeeuuuggghh,nasty,nasty,nasty.
Zoon is an fantastic metal album. Tons heavier than most things that pass for heavy these days.wild bill buttock wrote:Zoon was Carl McCoy's solo project "The nefilim" and a deliberate attempt to escape the goth constraints of FotN,but its still crap.
ok, thats the two young men sorted. I have to be the deluded gimp then, he?timsinister wrote:Guilty!James Blast wrote:only two young men and some deluded gimpsBadlander wrote:Beware, some HLers may even like it though.
in the meantime I found it out myself on another dictionary:timsinister wrote: I'd rather not define gimp - it took Blast and Scotty most of the evening to teach me how to tell the difference between a fud and an erse!
alrighty then....Gimp: A male BDSM rubber/leather slave. Specificaly, refers to slave in full-body suit - eg, rubber leather enclosure suits, and (this is the key thing) a full head mask.
He and I are the "young men" ("Where have they been?"timsinister wrote:I was under the impression that Dark and Motz were the 'young men', and we rabble were the gimps!
) and probably gimps too on our nights off.
