Fields Of The Nephilim - The Nephilim (Expanded Edition Golden Brown Vinyl Vinyl)

Beggars Arkive are happy to announce a vinyl reissue of the second Fields Of The Nephilim album, ‘The Nephilim’, released 35 years ago by Situation Two / Beggars Banquet in 1988, and not pressed on vinyl since then.

The album is pressed on golden brown vinyl and is expanded to a double LP. The album contains their epic, legendary track ‘Moonchild’ plus three bonus tracks.

The Nephilim was recorded in a former courthouse in the Somerset countryside where defendants who were sentenced to death were hung. ‘Moonchild’ is the band’s best known song due to it reaching #28 in the UK single charts, and LouderSound called it a classic and said that it “perfectly encapsulates this era of the band and it has some nifty guitar work, great bass lines from Tony Pettitt, Nod’s stellar drumming and McCoy’s distinctive vocals”.

In a 2013 remembrance of the album, PopMatters said “The band’s sophomore effort, regarded not only as its best work but also as one of the UK goth scene’s masterpieces, is a seamless, hour-long trek into a surreal land populated by chiming guitars, hypnotic bass, found samples, and McCoy’s storytelling.”
