The English gothic rock band Fields of the Nephilim formed in 1984. The band´s name refers to a Biblical race of giants or angel-human hybrids, known as the Nephilim. The band´s seminal sound has proved highly influential, especially in the genre of gothic rock. "Elizium, their third studio album, was originally released in 1990. The album is considered to be one of their best, consisting of a couple of lengthy pieces that showcase their ability to write textured, loud pieces of rock that are still goth but at the same time transcend such artificial limitations to create their own sound. The intro for the third song of the album, "At the Gates of Silent Memory", features spoken lines by Aleister Crowley. The lines are excerpts from Crowley´s poem "At Sea", recorded in 1920. * Music On Vinyl
