FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM — Mourning Sun (review)

Warthur
After the intriguing death-goth-metal project The Nefilim, Carl McCoy resurrected the old Fields of the Nephilim band name (without his old bandmates onboard) but didn't really do much about it. Fallen, the first release from the reconstituted band, was denounced by McCoy almost as soon as it was released as an unauthorised issue of demo recordings, so Mourning Sun is the first real fruit of the new Fields - but whereas Fallen continued to dabble in the metallic direction of The Nefilim's Zoon, Mourning Sun seems to be a shameless bid for the nostalgia market, repeating the old tricks of the old band but without the power and majesty of their classic albums.
