Of all the bands involved in Britain's goth rock movement of the 1980s, Fields of the Nephilim were the most believable.

 Fields of the Nephilim: album reviews and ratings
With just a hint of the mid- 1980s hidden deep in their music, Fields of the Nephilim steered away from the repeated samples and poppy keyboards of the era and focused more on flowing and icy guitar and bass.
It is a curious form of introduction for a man who previously hid himself behind the myth, and the mystery - that refused pictures of himself on the two principal studio albums; hid himself behind curtains of fog onstage; covered himself with flour to better disguise his mortal outlines.
While this picture already imposes a rupture in the tradition, perhaps it also portrays the dis-incarnation of Fields Of The Nephilim, as a "band." The physical break-up of the original group, a disintegration for a recomposition of the FOTN entity around its lone and glorious leader.

Fields of the Nephilim defined themselves from the first as a guitar band and they've never been swayed by fads or trends.
Death and relative sanity, and their intersection, are favorite FotN themes, and circled back to the fore on the second album, 1988's The Nephilim..
One of the Nephilim's most beautiful works, as still and dark as a reflecting pool and sung in a surprisingly smooth baritone (our first indication that Carl possessed an actual singing voice), Celebrate passes calm and final judgment on a humankind which has lost touch with its gods, its past and its legacy.

 The Fields of the Nephilim FAQ
After seven years I felt, to be able to continue, develop and strengthen my concept of the Nephilim, an element of change and freshness was required; the band was not recessive to this concept, therefore I have recruited musicians who are, and have the qualities I desired musically.
The Nephilim is derived from a passage in Genesis 6, though in many printings the word 'giant' is used.
"Genesis 6: 'Origin of the Nephilim' (1) When men began to multiply on earth and daughters were born to them, (2) the sons of heaven saw how beautiful the daughters of man were, and so they took for their wives as many as they chose.

For five years the rock band I loved best was Fields of the Nephilim, an astonishing, deeply arcane British unit which produced some of the most powerful and beautiful spiritual music in my experience.
However, when the Fields disbanded, singer/songwriter/seer McCoy resurfaced five years later with a reincarnation called the Nefilim.
The research and writing of my essay on it - Venus Decomposing - was a harrowing experience, itself a version of Inanna's journey to the Dark City-- which for all I know was McCoy's intent.

"Nephilim" comes from the Hebrew word for creatures that were half- angel and half- human.
Instead, sounding like the abandoned offspring of Sisters of Mercy and the Damned, the band became overshadowed itself, by a scene that was gradually beginning to wane from its underground origins and into the more accessible sounds of the Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
So as not to remain forgotten in the shadows, however, Field of the Nephilim have had their Beggars Banquet releases reissued and the band is gearing up for a reunion tour and new album for 1998.

The Fields Of The Nephilim fragmented six years ago, leaving Carl McCoy free to pursue his own vision.
The Fields Of The Nephilim recorded three increasingly successful studio LPs, 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 the restrictions of their musical formula.
At last, all the elements of his vision have been brought together, and he released Zoon in April, the exorcism is complete.

For the first time since Dawnrazor, the Nephilim worked with someone other than Bill Buchanan as producer; whatever Andy Jackson's particular qualifications, happily he knew not to ruin a good thing.
The end result was the band's best all-around album, consisting of four lengthy pieces that showcase their now near-peerless abilities to create involved, textured, driving, and loud pieces of rock.
