In the year 1991 Fields Of The Nephilim split up, leaving their frontman
Carl McCoy free to pursue his own vision. At last, after an agonising
silence, the year 1996 finds him reanimated and revitalised. All the
elements of this vision have been brought together, and he released Zoon in
April, under the name of Nefilim. The resurrection was complete. During the five year period, apart
from giving a few live appearances with the new line-up, Carl spent most
of the time evaluating and extending his sound, creating a new, intense
fusion of power and emotion which eventually surprised or even shocked
those ones familiar with his past. Fields Of The Nephilim perfected the
dark, moody rock of the "gothic" genre, in the process attracting legions
of devoted followers. But even as the band was growing into one of the most
significant alternative acts of the late eighties, McCoy was becoming
increasingly dissatisfied with their musical formula. Zoon shows just how
much further his imagination was capable of reaching. Carl was able to
hone his vision into a dense, coherent, and extremely powerful collection
of music, woven together by his genuinely haunting vocals. Zoon takes
elements from the musical forms such as industrial rock, gothic, metal or
even death metal. Harsh guitar riffs and double bass drumming build the
foundation on which McCoy creates something totally unique and
unpredictable. The time spent on experimenting results in a dimensional work that remains an unforgetable listening experience. The record was created in isolation - there was no input from commercial studios, name producers, or the record company. As time unfolded, it became clear that nobody else could connect with Carl on an imaginative level - and the final result is testimony to his ability not only as a vocalist, but as a musician, a composer, and an engineer. Before Zoon sees the daylight McCoy unleashes the video for Penetration. Dark, harassing, filled with images that haven't been seen before, far from rock'n'roll cliches and posing.
Sadly, Nefilim disbanded after playing only a few promotional gigs... Zoon was left on its own. But not everything was lost... Many years have passed now
and the music is still alive somewhere out there, living thanks to its own
strength and value, and to those being chosen who will never let it die.
