Nefilim, The: Zoon - Expanded Edition (CD)

The Nefilim formed in 1992 and developed after a fragmentation of Fields Of The Nephilim. In 1996, the only Nefilim album, Zoon was released. Carl McCoy spent four years pursuing his vision and created an aural assault on the senses. Created in isolation, it is a deep, dark industrial album tainted by death metal. A statement of great intent and transition.

As Fields Of The Nephilim was growing into one of the most significant acts of the late eighties, McCoy was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the restrictions of their musical formula. Zoon shows just how much further his imagination was capable of reaching, when freed from the chains of a five-piece band.

On Zoon he honed his vision into a dense, coherent and extremely powerful collection of music, woven together by his genuinely haunting vocals. Musically, there are few comparisons – Zoon takes elements from artists as diverse as Joy Division, Ennio Morricone, Sepultura, Wagner and Ministry, but the alchemy of the recording process has created something unique.
