Format:Audio CD
This live album is brilliantly engineered, and I think the songs come out better than on their studio albums. Works best when immersed in ancient mythology and/or H.P.Lovecraft's stories. Their music is dark, yet melodious, and conveys lots of emotions, even though it might not be accessible to everybody. But if you're into that kind of goth music, Earth Inferno will undoubtedly be one of your favorite CDs.

Earth Inferno...what an appropriate title for the Nephilim's live album. It's a great album...just to contemplate what 'Earth Inferno' means as you listen. Seems like McCoy has known the end is nigh for some years now.

A Musical, Spritual Experience like no other..
18 Nov 1999
Format:Audio CD
Don't Listen to the first review, he's approaching it from the wrong side. The music is not full of cliche's.. Thats just It! McCoy is the Genuine thing.. Influences are drawn from Occult/Literate sources, IE. Austin Osman Spare, Aleister Crowley, Peter Caroll, Shakespear, Milton, Zoroastrianism etc.. You name it he's read it. Which gives us a deeply poetic outcome. As for the music, it's all very atmospheric, (Andy Jackson (Pink Floyd) Produced it). The Music has a rock element but with an Classical (maybe I dont know what I'm talking about here) arrangement. This is not for the faint hearted. The music is very dark and spiritual, and you will never find anything else as authentic as it in the World. The Fields are an experience not just a Band. If you get the chance to see them live go.. This is the best produced live album I have ever heard. If you want a culture shock, or are open minded get it.

Elyzium with more emotion. Their best official release.
14 Jan 1999
Format:Audio CD
For any goths who have asked themselves "who is the best goth band, Sisters of Mercy or bauhaus?", you've never heard Fields of the Nephilim, the most musically unchallenged goth band to date. Please give them a listen, and when you do, "Earth Inferno" is the CD to introduce one to them.
NOTES: "Earth Inferno" is composed of the first half of "Elizium"(Fields of the Nephilim's 3rd and final album. "Earth Inferno" is a live concert recorded at the end of their original formation.)The second half of the album is a collection of their epic songs (averaging 8-10 min. each) consisting of Last Exit for the Lost, Psychonaut, Dawnrazor, etc.

Don't call it goth, it's more than that
3 Dec 2004
Format:Audio CD
Almost nobody ever finds Fields of the Nephilim. On some of this live album, one wonders whether the scene was a small club, not the arena these sounds deserved. The Neph were a staggeringly good band that hit their stride only briefly, and this was right in the middle of it. The music is loud, melodic, moody but usually brisk. The instrumentalists are crisp and tight, virtuoso within the bounds of what they're trying to do. My only complaint is with the overly democratic mix, which buries my favorite soaring guitar parts from "Moonchild" and "Love Under Will." But the inimitable vocals of Carl McCoy aren't mixed up too far either. It's a great live sound. This band deserved more than to be pigeonholed as goth and ignored by radio. The day I hear this disc on XM will be a milestone.
