Portents and Divinations

With the massive lineup overhaul and completely different direction the sound of our new material in development is going, no one really feels the band can still be called Nephilim. We're working on a new name, I'd list the pool of ideas we've been dredging through but I feel like we should keep that between us, or at least off the public record, for the time being.

Near as I can tell, it's getting darker, crunchier, and a bit more complex, but this is all in the larval stage. I've always been a fan of music documentaries and video footage of bands in the studio, developing their material, and it is beyond cool to actually have a part in that process and be at ground zero as something is created. These guys are all talented, life-long musicians with a real passion for what they do, and I still feel like I'm just an auxiliary, like there's no way I can live up to how much of themselves they invest in their music. Hopefully this turns into a good mindset and contributes to a healthy work ethic concerning my efforts to the band.
