Yes i have heard of the fields of the nephilim, whats more i saw them twice in the late eighties, and only someone who's never seen 'em could doubt that they have/had metal tendancies. Grinding guitar work and throaty vocals from carl mccoy, complete with a very distinct "look" - they were awesome!! Maybe not pure metal, but more metallic/goth crossover than the Cult and the likes of the Sister of Mercy. It's quite a surprise to hear that someone else still remembers them!!! peace man and enjoy the elysian fields xxx last exit ...
