Tonight I saw The Mission in Norwich and as always they were FANTASTIC, I really liked this gig they had a good atmosphere however their set was much shorted than the previous ones I have been to. They were supported by 2 bands, The Faces of Sarah and NFD.
NFD is the reason I took time off work, came to Norwich, paid a hotel and it was absolutely worth every second of it. NFD is better known as Fields of The Nephilim, they have reformed under a new name now. Their new album is due out in October and if tonights set is anything to go by it is going to be fantastic. The music is as powerful as I remember it, was a real step back into almost 10 years listening to them tonight. They finished the set with an absolutely amazing version of Psychonaut and it fit in perfectly with their new music, which should give anyone who know them a good idea of what is to come!
The Faces of Sarah was a very big surprise, they were also very good and you can see they take inspiration from Fields and a few other bands, they were great, together with NFD they really set the bar very high for The Mission.
UPDATE: I have uploaded some photos from the gig here, these were taken with my little Canon iXus.
