McCOY’S YOUR BOY – FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM HEADLINE TOMORROW’S GHOSTS FESTIVAL 2022

Immediately turning heads with their definitive “dust and death” image, the band also possessed a secret weapon in founding member Carl McCoy. Fronting the band with some of the recognisably ravaged vocals of the genre, McCoy and co. released their debut single “Power” in 1986 via the Beggars Banquet label and would rapidly ascend through the ranks with compositions which incorporated psychedelic, progressive, and heavy metal elements that would defy the naysayers time and time again.

With the assistance of a revolving line-up of members over the years, Fields of the Nephilim pushed the goth sound (and look) to boundary-pushing new stratospheres. Finding Indie Chart topping success with their first two albums ‘Dawnrazor’ (1987) and ‘The Nephilim’ (1988), the band’s magnetic, macabre appeal would also see them break into the mainstream on the back of hit singles including “Moonchild”, “Psychonaut” and “Summerland” all of which stormed into the Official UK Charts Top 40). Releasing a string of seminal albums between 1987 and 1991 (“Dawnrazor”,  ‘The Nephilim’, ‘Elizium’ and ‘Earth Inferno’), of which the latter three would become Top 40 smashes in the Official Charts; creating a legacy that is all but immortal in the eyes of their dedicated followers.
