The Nefilim (or simply Nefilim) was a Carl McCoy project formed after the disbanding of Fields of the Nephilim.
Originally formed with John Carter, Nefilim featured McCoy on vocals, Paul Miles on guitar, Simon Rippin on drums and Cian Houchin on bass. Rippin and Miles would later go on to form Sensorium, while Houchin would go on to form Saints of Eden.
Nefilim released one album, Zoon (1996), which was more industrial than McCoy's previous releases with the Fields of the Nephilim, though similar themes of mysticism are prevalent, visible in titles of songs like "Pazuzu (Black Rain)".

Melt (The Catching Of The Butterfly)
Nefilim
As she crawls from my hands
Her eyes I think they've found me
Matter
Blood
Her features cease to be traced
Oh forgive me
Now have your place with god
Innocence can be hell
Of the perfumed and penetrated flesh
She's melting, melting away
Of the passions that see and destroy us
This subtle fire, the secret flame
Torture by desire
Transformation from flesh to spirit
Melting, just melt away
There's a stillness
Between the light and me
Nothing but dreams and decay
And the angel
Whose wounds are my lamentation
Oh just melt away
