Fields of the Nephilim formed in England during the 1980s with Carl McCoy on vocals. Their sound had a dark, atmospheric quality that drew from gothic rock, with songs like 'Moonchild' and 'For Her Light' featuring McCoy's distinctive low vocals over layers of guitar and rhythm. They released albums including Dawnrazor in 1987 and Elizium in 1990.
The band's lineup included guitarists Paul Wright and Tony Pettitt, bassist Peter Yates, and drummer Andy Del Mar. They put out later albums like Nephilim in 1996 and Fallen in 2002.
Tracks such as 'Mourning Sun' and 'Love Under Will' continued their brooding, melodic style. Fields of the Nephilim's music maintained a cult following in goth and alternative circles for its consistent mood and McCoy's vocal presence.
