Nefilim was a gothic metal studio project formed by Carl McCoy with John "Capachino" Carter in 1992 after the disbanding of Fields of the Nephilim.

The album title track "Zoon" was written during this period, as were now-famed demos including "Red Harvest777", "Chaochracy" and "Subsanity (Sensorium)".

The lineup released one album, Zoon (1996), which was more influenced by death metal and industrial metal than McCoy's previous releases with the Fields of the Nephilim, though similar themes of mysticism are prevalent, seen in songs like "Pazuzu (Black Rain)", which refers to the Assyro-Babylonian god also known as "king of the demons".

A music video was created for "Penetration", and the song was later covered by Polish band Behemoth on their EP Slaves Shall Serve.
