From their musical style to their carefully cultivated look, they set a standard, a feel and a design for the entire goth subculture. The motifs and symbols of their band logo and artwork, the uniform theatrical costume, and of course the themes in their music of romanticism, mysticism, and the occult. They do also share some of the goth tropes which are often mocked by cultural observers; the deep forced gravel vocals, the insistence on keeping the stage cloaked in a veil of smoke at all times and frontman Carl McCoy’s otherworldly ‘spooky’ contact lenses. Tonight Fields of the Nephilim have their stalwart fans gathered together as close to the actual festival of Saturnalia (a winter feast to honour the ancient Roman god Saturn) as the calendar will allow.
