Fields of the Nephilim are Definitely not obscure (and are marvelous)... But of the other bands, i have only actualy heard nosferatu (and not enjoyed them but that is just my humble opinion). i know of lacrimosa, but the other names mean nothing to me, and i consider myself to be quite literate musicaly, but I maybe wrong. on a tangent, New Album by FotN, 'Mourning sun' released 11th Oct (euorpe) and Jan 06 US. the band now only consists of Carl McCoy as always seems to happen with old bands. there are straming samples of a couple of tracks on the SPV records website if anyone is interested.
in my opinion is seems like a more metal Elizium... (groundbreaking album by the way) i'd be interested to find out what other fans think of it, and Zoon (Nefilim)
