Artist: FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM
Album: LIVE IN DUSSELDORF (DVD)

Release date: 2008
Media type: CD

Of all the bands involved in Britain's goth rock movement of the 1980s, Fields of the Nephilim were the most believable. The group's occult-inspired songs were sung in a guttural roar by vocalist Carl McCoy. Live appearances were shrouded with dim light and smoke machines, while bandmembers stalked the stage in black desperado gear inspired by western dress.

The band formed in 1984, and Beggar's Banquet, also the home of goth rockers Southern Death Cult and Bauhaus, signed them up and released the singles "Power" and "Preacher Man" in 1986. Both did well on the independent charts; "Preacher Man" made it to number two, increasing the expectation for debut album Dawnrazor, which appeared in 1987. The album also did well on the indie charts, but later that year Fields of the Nephilim finally cracked the pop singles chart with "Blue Water." In June 1988, second album The Nephilim reached number 12 in the pop charts, while the single "Moonchild" made number 28.

Carl McCoy left the band — and took the name with him — in October 1991. Nothing much was heard from the band until they truly returned in 2006 with Mourning Sun.

Live in Dusseldorf captures the band at their live best during a European tour of 1991.
