YMMV / Fields of the Nephilim

• Awesome Music: Really, the first three albums, with Elizium perhaps most of all.
• Epic Riff: Quite a few, but perhaps the best examples are found in "For Her Light," "Love Under Will," "Phobia" (which sounds almost Motörhead worthy), and "Preacher Man."
• Nightmare Fuel: Mostly featured on Dawnrazor.
  • The video for "Preacher Man" features Carl McCoy as the title character, preaching to a horribly mutated congregation, who eventually rise up against him.
  • "Vet for the Insane" is a Surprisingly Gentle Song compared to most songs on the album, but it just makes it feel that much more eerie, especially coupled with the lyrics if you take them literally, and the sample from The Evil Dead (1981) of Linda taunting Ash.
  Flowers in your kitchen
  They weep for you
  I'm gonna shred them all to pieces
  Like I did to you
  • "Power" is a song about an incubus, poetically describing it draining a woman's sexual energy either with or without her knowledge. Either way, it's plenty disturbing.
  • The title track opens and closes with samples from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1974 in addition to The Evil Dead, in the latter case, it closes with the audio of Cheryl being raped, then leads directly into the final track, "The Sequel", which reprises the Ennio Morricone cover from the beginning of the album, then leads into another Texas Chainsaw Massacre sample of a chainsaw turning on and a woman screaming. End album.
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: "Wail of Sumer and And There Will Your Heart Be Also" closes out Elizium on a surprisingly comforting note. The lyrics are nothing short of heartwarming and it gives you the impression of floating in a vast empty space.
  I'd end this moment
  To be with you
  Through morphic oceans
  I'd lay here with you
