The Nefilim

The Nefilim was a gothic metal studio project formed by Carl McCoy in 1992 after the disbanding of Fields of the Nephilim. It featured McCoy on vocals and keyboards and John "Capachino" Carter on bass, guitars and drums. The album title track "Zoon" was written during this period, as were demos including "Red Harvest777", "Chaocracy" and "Subsanity (Sensorium)". Chaocracy was released on the 1993 compilation album Deafening Divinities With Aural Affinities - The Beggars Banquet Collection. After a year Carter and McCoy parted company, and McCoy went on to recruit Paul Miles on guitar, Simon Rippin on drums and Cian Houchin on bass.

Discography

Zoon (1996) }} Zoon, Nefilim's only studio album, was released in April 1996 by Beggars Banquet Records (Catalogue number BEGA172). The album saw a move away from the rich soundscapes that characterised earlier works from Fields of the Nephilim towards a darker, more industrial/death metal sound. McCoy has stated that the album was in development hell for several years, due to restrictions from the record label. The album is dedicated to Scarlett McCoy, Carl McCoy's daughter. The album is a concept album, and while McCoy remained largely silent about the themes, one possible explanation is that the story revolves around the Watchers and the Book of Enoch. The word "zoon" is derived from Greek, meaning "living creature" or "beast". == References ==
