Cult film director and producer Richard Stanley, whose post apocolyptic visions
were given life to in his nihilistic sci-fi classic Hardware (1990)
is set to revitalise his long standing relationship with Carl McCoy and Fields of the Nephilim.
Stanley,whose intensely personal blockbuster Hardware (which featured a cameo from Carl McCoy)
was followed by the critically acclaimed Dust Devil (1992), turned his back on mainstream
cinema to pursue his preoccupation with the occult and its interaction with what we call reality.
Having just completed a BBC documentary on the voodoo culture of Haiti his next project will be
to direct a promo video for an as yet to be announced track from
Fields of the Nephilim’s triumphant studio album Mourning Sun.
Stanley has created an impressive body of work over the last two decades, retaining an intensely loyal fan base,
not to mention the critical acclaim of his peers. Famed for declining many more commissions than he accepts,
it is testament to Fields of the Nephilim’s resurgence that he has chosen to work on this project.
Stanley was also responsible for the band’s first ever video promos,
Preacher Man and Blue Water almost two decades ago. Carl and Richard have remained firm friends ever since,
and the band’s renaissance has provided the impetus they needed to reignite their creative relationship.
‘It’s a meeting of minds, and we have unfinished business!’ said Carl McCoy this week,
after hearing the news. ‘Richard and I go back a long way, and he has remained an admirer of the band.
’Carl’s regard for Richard’s creative talent is also obvious.
‘He has a unique vision and perspective which parallels my own in musical terms.
We have subconsciously been waiting to work with each other on a serious Nephilim venture for a while.
With everything falling into place with the re-emergence of Fields of the Nephilim,
the time is right.’’Mourning Sun has never just been about releasing a collection of songs’ continues McCoy,
’Listened to as an album, it forms a cohesive whole that takes the listener through a sonic landscape.
Richard’s intuitive knowledge of that landscape will add a luxuriantly textured visual layer to the music,
and the video promises to become a work of art in its own right.’With a twenty year gap between collaborations,
McCoy and Stanley are looking forward to recreating visually the intensity and intricacy of Mourning Sun.
They share a vision, a vision they want to share with us too.
After twenty years, fate has finally provided the opportunity for them to
create a cinematic masterpiece to rival Mourning Sun’s considerable success.
Were For her light and Sumerland such obvious choices ? The former was part of a 15 minutes epic and it turned out to be arguably their best single ever.wild bill buttock wrote:And to honest I don't see how anything from Mourning sun is an obvious single anyway.Very much an album rather than a collection of catchy choons.
I still say Preacher Man was the best single, the For Her Light Tour was a great affair though, LOUD were supporting , the Summer of my lifeBadlander wrote::...and it turned out to be arguably their best single ever.
The original version isn't bad either.davedecay wrote: In Every Dream Home A Heartache is a great cover!

Especially the live version on the Viva ! album, which is a real gem.
Thanks for that! More Nephilim gobbledegook and gibberish - Keep Talkin', Carl!mugabe wrote:There's a nice (rather) recent interview to be found here.

Apparently there will be a tour later in the year but no further info as yet.
As for a single Carl has missed a trick. He should of stuck some sleigh bells on "She" and released it in December. Guaranteed Xmas No 1. If you dont beleive me go have a listen and imagine those sleigh bells...... Cliff Richard eat your heart out !!!! ( or should that be tear your f**king heart out !)
Normally I'd agree but being as For her light came out as a single a couple of months before Elisium.It worked well in its edited version.Must admit though when I hear the single version now at the end I'm waiting for the "Yes today all that I knew...".Sumerland was never a good single but still a cracking remix of an album track.My point is,that to me,nothing from the album could now be a single as the whole album is a For her light style epic that works brilliantly as a whole but take,say "Straight to the light" individually and it could easily be NFD or(God forbid)Rubicon.Badlander wrote:
