We’ve never done that and I’m quite proud of that. It has made it harder for us and we’re still accepted, the audience hasn’t got any smaller – in fact it seems to be growing. It’s going to be an interesting few years ahead of us.” He can certainly say that again. Although ’The Nephilim (completed by guitarists Gavin King and Tom Edwards, drummer Lee Newell, bassist Snake) may have been out of the public forum aside from a clutch of dates over the past few years, Carl has been busy plotting the next move and writing material which will result in a busy 2012. “I’ve been waiting on some release dates to come through – that’s all happening at the moment and there will be some material coming out soon,” he conirms. “I’m trying to ind new ways of releasing stu. Being completely committed to a record label worked for us in the past when we were all younger but it’s not the way I want to work now.” Finding new ways to get their message across is an important factor in the band’s success and thanks to mediums like the internet, ’The Nephilim have seen a while new legion of young fans join the fold. “Attracting a fresh young audience is a healthy sign and one hell of a complement. It’s the reason to still go forward with what we do as we’re not just playing to people that are my age and without that new audience I’d think we’d had our day,” says Carl who admits that the band’s near three decades in the business have not always been easy. “There were a lot of dificult times. We worked very hard in the early days and our feet didn’t touch the ground for quite a few years. The challenge was moving forward into the unknown all the time and getting let down by the industry can make it very dificult for you. When you are brand new to the music industry you don’t really realise what’s going on at the time and go with the ow as at least you get to do what you love doing. But any problems that might have occurred accumulate later on. You can’t go back you can only move forward. If you don’t like what you are doing, just change it. Looking in the past all the time is irrelevant, I’ve had a better time since then and I’m looking forward to where we’re going; where we’ve come from is just my apprenticeship as far as I’m concerned.” CATEGORIES Select Category Looking forward is always something that Fields Of The Nephilim have excelled at.

    Review: Roadburn Friday 10th April 2015 By Alex Mysteerie I woke up with a big grin on my face at the thought of Friday’s schedule: the bands on offer for the Houses Of The Holistic, curated by Ivar Bjørnson of Enslaved and Einer “Kvitrafn” Selvik of Wardruna, were fantastic!

    9/25/2020 Celebrate: Fields of the Nephilim's 'The Nephilim' at 25 - PopMatters // MUSIC Celebrate: Fields of the Nephilim's 'The Nephilim' at 25 By Beth Winegarner //27 Oct 2013 Twitter Celebrating its silver anniversary,The Nephilim is one of the UK goth scene's masterpieces, a seamless, hour-long trek into a surreal land populated by chiming guitars, hypnotic bass, found samples, and occult themes. When Fields of the Nephilim entered the public consciousness on dusty spurred heels with Dawnrazor in 1987, England's most popular sonic exports included George Michael's solo debut and the album that gave us the rickroll. Slick production and slicker hair seemed unavoidable.

Their sound welded goth's air for delicacy and theatrics with an undercurrent of metal's menace, crowned by frontman Carl McCoy's serrated baritone. FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM The band's rst full-length, Dawnrazor, turned THE NEPHILIM plenty of heads but was overshadowed by Label: Situation 2/Beggars another breed of gothic giant: The Sisters of Banquet Mercy, whom many critics accused the Fields UK RELEASE DATE: 1988-09-17 of copying -- never mind that if you close your AMAZON eyes and listen, it's easy to tell them apart.

  • THE NEFILIM - Interview with Carl Mccoy from "Metallurgy 2 - Reasons to Be Fearful" Compilation Issued by METALLURGY Magazine, UK Interviewer: Cathi Unsworth
    9/25/2020 www.spookhouse.net/angelynx/nephilim/metaliv.html THE NEFILIM - Interview with Carl McCoy from "Metallurgy 2 - Reasons To Be Fearful" compilation issued by METALLURGY Magazine, UK Interviewer: Cathi Unsworth. Photos: Mary Scanlon. (Track included in compilation: "Venus Decomposing (Edit)" The Nefilim: Cian Houchin, bass & additional programming; Carl McCoy, vocals & programming; Paul Miles, guitar; Simon Rippon, drums) It's nice to know that, while he's been away, Carl McCoy has been thought of highly in the Satanic State of Denmark. "People have come up to me and seriously told me that my lyrics are responsible for people burning down churches there," smiles the dark lord, shying from the sun in the deepest recesses of London's dirty old Camden Town. "I said, what the fuck is that all about? I never write my lyrics down. I doubt if anyone can really ever make them out...even in Denmark." It's been five years since, dressed as the apocalyptic Man With No Name, Carl McCoy last rode Fields Of The Nephilim into town. In a storm cloud of flour, dry ice and battered leathers, his band ruled the kingdom of Goth in the late '80s, composing a Valkyrian soundtrack which ranged from the anthemic Duane Eddyisms of "Preacherman" to the epic splendour of "Psychonaut" to the brooding fade-out of Elizium, their last album in 1990. Internal conflicts split the band in 1991, with the remaining Fields forced to rename themselves Rubicon after Carl pulled the old Andrew Eldritch trick of snatching the name of his creation from beneath his underlings' feet and famously proclaiming, "I am the Nephilim!" While trading on lost glories, the ignominious Rubicon ended up supporting prog rocker Fish.

Goth rock comes in many shades of obsidian. Art-schoolers Bauhaus preyed on Ziggy’s ghost for dub-in¿ected ditties like “She’s in Parties.” The Mission UK nursed delusions of Zeppelin’s grandeur, even roping in John Paul Jones as a producer.

Emerging from the unhip provinces of Stevenage in the mid-1980s, the band built up a following the hard way: through constant gigging and word of mouth, opening for any act who would have them and gradually winning over more and more converts around the UK with their powerful live shows. Without the support of the press, radio or record or PR companies, they put out their initial EPs themselves and never tried to fit in with any prevailing musical trends. Nevertheless, the Nephilim were soon embraced by the less fashion-conscious elements of the UK post-punk and gothic scene, and were probably the last major band to identify with this subculture, which by this time was already on the wane in terms of popularity.
