As we celebrate the feast of Samhain and enter the darker half of the year,
we can announce that the audio visual soundscape of the Ceromonies concerts achieves its final rapture.

The memory of the Ceremonies concerts, which saw Fields of the Nephilim explore
new territories and reach new realms in the band’s evolution,
has now been chronicled in the digital era and will be released in the first quarter of 2010.

Under the banner of Sheer Faith Carl has worked to produce an honest portrayal of these magical moments,
where the band' & watchers play a vital role in the ongoing rituals.

“The importance of all this is to reflect these moments in the band’s history,
” Carl said. “The ceremonies that we called ‘ Ad Mortem, Ad Vitem’, now becomes the future of our past.”

Though much footage & recordings were captured during the 2008
events the final products are mainly focused on the London Shepherds’s Bush two-night events
‘Ad Mortem and Ad Vitem’ on July 12th & 13th respectively.

Further announcements regarding formats & release schedules to be announced and updated soon.
Beyond this the Nephilim have been busy writing & recording new material
and are planning on being very busy with releases & shows in 2010.
The band are looking forward to the Hellfire Show, being their only UK performance in 2009.

SATURNALIA 2008

The year of ceremonies has come to a close. Many have taken part across Europe,
and Fields of the Nephilim want to extend the hand of gratitude to all who came and took part.
The ripples have touched many, far and wide, and still they resonate in people’s hearts and souls.

Saturnalia is a time of celebration of all who have supported Fields of the Nephilim in its current cycle.
To you we give praise. Your support is invaluable.

2008 has been one of the most memorable years for the Nephilim in a long time,
from the unprecedented performances at the Shepherds Bush Empire in London
to the mayhem of headlining the M’era Luna festival,
with an audience of tens of thousands participating in this unforgettable mass ritual.

“It has been vital to play uncharted territories, greeted with such applause,”
Carl said. “It has been illuminating.
The Fates have looked favourably upon us, and we expect even greater things in 2009.”

The Official Nephilim Merch Store

And to close the year, we bring your attention to the fact that the only official Nephilim merchandise emporium

CEROMONIES 2008

NEPHILIM CELEBRATE WITH LIVE SHOWS IN LONDON

Fields of the Nephilim are teaming up with Metal Hammer magazine to bring you two very special
back-to-back gigs at London’s Shepherds Bush Empire on 12th and 13th July.

The night of Saturday, 12th is entitled Ad mortem, and the 13th is Ad vitam.
The live shows will span the band’s career from its dark beginnings
back in 1983 through to the present day and beyond.

‘Expect something special on both nights’, Carl says.
‘These will be the only shows we will perform in the UK this year & should
prove to be the highlight of the Ceromonies concerts of 2008.

‘We have refrained from doing live shows just for the hell of it.
All the ceremonies events have been placed & performed at significant times to celebrate
& coincide with specific birth and death anniversaries relevant to the Nephilim.’

Carl has revealed that the band are working on new material,
and will look towards the London shows for momentum as the Nephilim enter the studios again.

JANUARY 2008
"let us witness the reincarnation of the Sun"

Fields of the Nephilim made a well overdue appearance and performed in the land of St Nick,
the Nightmare after Christmas at the Helldone Festival in Helsinki on 30th December 2007.
It was celebrated in conjunction with the Finnish ensemble Him,
at the personal invitation of lead songster Ville Valo.

The Nephilim appeared on stage at the 24th Moment casting their shadow on the land of the midnight sun,
darkening their winter still further.

Dedicated Nephilim fans - many of whom had traveled from all over the world to witness
this live occurrence - watched alongside awestruck Him fans,
as seasoned anthems such as “Moonchild”, For her Light”, ”Penetration”, and “Last Exit for the Lost”,
stood alongside powerful aural soundscapes from the band’s 2006 album “Mourning Sun”.
Biggest surprise of the night was when the first haunting bars of the classic “Psychonaut”,
rang out across the claustrophobic auditorium, sending those gathered into virtual rapture.
It was the first time it had been played live in many years,
and very few Nephilim fans expected ever to hear it again.

“We played “Psychonaut” in honour of Austin Osman Spare,
Carl Mc Coy said. “It invokes the essence of this great man, his work, his art, his life,
and being the anniversary of his birthday it was a good way to celebrate that”.

“It was a pleasure playing Finland for the first time!
We praise those who watched over us”.

So with the Nephilim's astounding resurrection in 2007,
and great excitement and interest surrounding their Helsinki gig,
the Nephilim will step up a gear in 2008,
playing a series of live shows and special events which
will begin early spring with a show in Poland.
it will be held at the Klub Stodola in Warsaw 15th March 2008.
for more information & tickets please click here

Other shows are pending for late spring,
in exciting and interesting places where the Nephilim experience awaits.
Get those passports and sea legs a ready,
these destinations and events will be unmissable.

STILL LIFE

News from the Outpost is that Fields of the Nephilim are preparing to embark on the next leg of the journey,
comprising of the eagerly awaited follow up to "Mourning sun", additional projects and live events.

24th MOMENT-LIVE DVD

We have the added pleasure at last to be able to view the majestic return of
Carl McCoy and The Nephilim at the 24th Moment show filmed at The London Astoria on 24th May 2007
by cult filmmaker Richard Stanley.

Carl McCoy has taken the reigns and is currently well in to production of the live audio/visual media of the 24th moment.
Carl sees this event as a very significant marker in the Nephilim evolution and is keen to share the experience.

For all you Watchers,
this is one not to be missed.
Watch this space for further news.

SHEERFAITH ARTWORX

As some of you may be aware Carl McCoy has always worked predominately in the field of visual presentation,
not only within Fields of the Nephilim and The Nefilim stage persona, but also with the magickal interpretations
and graphic creations of SheerFaith together with his partner Lynn,
they are both the Art, Design and Craft force behind the enigmatic and subtle creations
that not only represent but compliment and complete all the Nephilim designs,
from Burning the Fields, Moonchild, Elizium, Zoon, Mourning Sun and all in between above and below.

Many of us have not been privy to the wealth of images and vistas
SheerFaith have created and in there many formats,
as they have not been exclusively lent for Nephilim works.
So to be able to inform you that at last SheerFaith are producing fine art prints
and of a selective view of original Nephilim moments is exciting stuff.

We do know that they will be available from a SheerFaith on line gallery,
and there is a positive indication of a SheerFaith exhibition.
Carl and Lynn have sustained and maintained a very elusive craft,
their work is dedicated to the principle of truth and belief in what they do, its not just for rewards or sakes.
They adhere to these convictions, SheerFaith as the name implies,justifies this.

They use traditional skills, pen and ink, paint, clays, sculpture, photography, calligraphy, montage
and collage etc and have adapted to the skill required to embrace CGI and Digital composition.
The SheerFaith print series will be a delight to many of you,
who have inundated The Watchman for many moons concerning the availability
and genuine requests to acquire the original iconography.
So keep watching for the availability of these images.

Carl said afterwards.
"It was great being back on stage performing live again, and we
appreciate the support received from fans, and also for their brilliant reviews
and comments after the show.

"The night was special for us too, not just for the strange coincidences
surrounding it, but also because it was a significant nexus point for us all.

The whole event was filmed by British cult film director Richard Stanley
for a special project currently being put together. But more on this soon.

"It was good to see fans old and new," Carl added. "We applaud all those who
were there who traveled from far & wide to take part & witness the event.
Not forgetting all those involved who made this possible,
we are looking forward to the next stage.
