The Nefilim
Zoon
Beggars Banquet
Released 13 December 2024
BBQ-2655
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.
The expanded edition of Zoon will be released on
December 13th on 2XLP, CD and digitally. The vinyl
version is pressed onto red vinyl across 2 LPS. Four
bonus tracks have been added to all formats.
As Fields Of The Nephilim was growing into one of
the most significant acts of the late eighties, McCoy
became 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.
In a 2012 interview with The Quietus, Carl noted that
Zoon was one of his favorites. He said “it was another
approach, and it allowed me to express some of my
ideas without boundaries. I needed to do that.
