The Nefilim was a metal band that Carl McCoy formed after his previous band Fields of the Nephilim broke up.
history
Shortly after the end of Fields of the Nephilim, McCoy announced that he would form a new band called The Nefilim, which his followers had to wait a long time for. McCoy's first appearance with The Nefilim took place in 1993 at the Zillo Festival in Germany. However, an album did not come out, instead rumors began circulating that McCoy was constantly firing music and producers or that he had become addicted to drugs. In 1996 the album Zoon was finally released . McCoy justified the long wait with problems to find a producer.
style
music
In Voices from the Darkside , The Nefilim's music was presented as a more metallic version of McCoy's activities on Fields of the Nephilim. Deviating from Fields of the Nephilim, numerous pieces show an affinity for Death Metal and Industrial Metal and thus scared off numerous Gothic-Rock listeners from the start. McCoy revealed, however, that he generally does not like Death Metal, but does like some aspects of the genre, in which there is a lot of power and energy, and described Zoon in 1996 as the best album he had ever recorded.
Texts
The lyrics weren't printed because McCoy didn't want the listeners to focus only on the lyrics and not the music; ideally, the music conveys the meaning and can be understood by everyone without knowing the exact words. However, he confirmed that this time his lyrics were more personal than on previous works.
