The original line-up consisted of vocalist Carl McCoy, saxophonist Gary Whisker, Tony Pettitt on bass, guitarist Paul Wright and drummer Alexander \"Nod\" Wright. Following the release of the debut EP Burning the Fields, Whisker left the band to be replaced by Peter Yates as second guitarist. The band's name refers to a Biblical race of giants or angel-human hybrids, known as the Nephilim. Although they have not received substantial mainstream success, the band's seminal sound has proved highly influential, especially in the genre of gothic rock and, later on, gothic metal and rock noir. The current incarnation of the band has released one authorized recording of new material since 1990 and performs infrequently. Fields of the Nephilim's initial sound incorporated elements of hard rock, gothic rock, metal and psychedelic rock, and comprised a bass and guitar driven sound underpinned by McCoy's growled vocals. Lyrically, the band incorporated magical themes, referencing the Cthulhu Mythos, the Sumerian religion, Chaos magic and the works of Aleister Crowley.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Fields+Of+The+Nephilim","playStationPath":"/stations/269504198/play","stationId":269504198,"bioPath":"/music/Fields+Of+The+Nephilim/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/Dreadful+Shadows","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/509/50955f0481293ec489e5fc6596dbde96_md.jpg","artistName":"Dreadful Shadows","artistId":114519,"station_id":282639563},{"musicPath":"/music/Daniel+Ash","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b9c/b9c0d37ccb2678f434acb99f6d4944c6_md.jpg","artistName":"Daniel Ash","artistId":285,"station_id":113421968},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Last+Dance","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b57/b57feb2e1cbd53ead6182697ea4cd3dd_md.jpg","artistName":"The Last Dance","artistId":109489,"station_id":282140591},{"musicPath":"/music/Lords+Of+The+New+Church","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/770/770caa8e654605c7f0517fdbc0137a9e_md.jpg","artistName":"Lords Of The New Church","artistId":101356,"station_id":280763688},{"musicPath":"/music/End+Of+Green","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/d4e/d4e92dde1bfe35abed7c0308394b66b0_md.jpg","artistName":"End Of Green","artistId":352897,"station_id":392831425},{"musicPath":"/music/The+69+Eyes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/cd4/cd4245bd63a326c543069d85041f5c6c_md.jpg","artistName":"The 69 Eyes","artistId":12449,"station_id":113408669},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Cruxshadows","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/3ba/3bad69f4253cf3b29ffadf3f4592c2c5_md.jpg","artistName":"The Cruxshadows","artistId":100833,"station_id":280763320},{"musicPath":"/music/UK+Decay","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/9f4/9f41832955ee98ad7a890309aff62a73_md.jpg","artistName":"UK Decay","artistId":8127,"station_id":115240126},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Wake","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/4ae/4ae61a7139d3c0997e0a3e12af11a287_md.jpg","artistName":"The Wake","artistId":110150,"station_id":282141258},{"musicPath":"/music/Lacrimas+Profundere","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b1a/b1aa797777ba5be50fe08da7c437d38b_md.jpg","artistName":"Lacrimas Profundere","artistId":12654,"station_id":113812891},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Creatures","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/bff/bff4705b77f36e43a383760cb36a9a9c_md.jpg","artistName":"The Creatures","artistId":79927,"station_id":267652419},{"musicPath":"/music/Love+and+Rockets","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f25/f25e4487d5dab08e99ee32986a6c2504_md.jpg","artistName":"Love and Rockets","artistId":1144,"station_id":113301637},{"musicPath":"/music/Lacrimosa","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/c4e/c4e4b3f88cb13aa3d19ee148c98e3dc9_md.jpg","artistName":"Lacrimosa","artistId":11671,"station_id":113322588},{"musicPath":"/music/Inkubus+Sukkubus","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f5f/f5f376d3936a31a7e816ba6a8fb7e082_md.jpg","artistName":"Inkubus Sukkubus","artistId":120055,"station_id":283329518},{"musicPath":"/music/Virgin+Prunes","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/782/782f9430c9fa4f9675f6b2025d9ee993_md.jpg","artistName":"Virgin Prunes","artistId":2382,"station_id":114181014},{"musicPath":"/music/Screams+for+Tina","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/75f/75fd1522482030769be6d649db0f17fb_md.jpg","artistName":"Screams for Tina","artistId":132398,"station_id":285484177},{"musicPath":"/music/Then+Comes+Silence","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/417/417e1d7a40e439f22fb06f8dcca37eff_md.jpg","artistName":"Then Comes Silence","artistId":359894,"station_id":397259713},{"musicPath":"/music/Ghost+Dance","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/122/1225ac24e39f86c95afbd2e4e9a3e5fe_md.jpg","artistName":"Ghost Dance","artistId":453217,"station_id":401199190}]}
