# The Nefilim

**The Nefilim** is a gothic metal band, from United Kingdom, active 1992 to 1996.

The Nefilim was a gothic metal studio project formed by Carl McCoy in 1992 after the disbanding of Fields of the Nephilim. It featured McCoy on vocals and keyboards and John "Capachino" Carter on bass, guitars and drums. The album title track "Zoon" was written during this period, as were demos including "Red Harvest777", "Chaocracy" and "Subsanity (Sensorium)". Chaocracy was released on the 1993 compilation album Deafening Divinities With Aural Affinities - The Beggars Banquet Collection. After a year Carter and McCoy parted company, and McCoy went on to recruit Paul Miles on guitar, Simon Rippin on drums and Cian Houchin on bass.
