Warthur
Carl McCoy's presence as a frontman in Fields of the Nephilim was absolutely key to the band's image, his presentation as a cowboy occultist tying in perfectly with the themes explored in the band's music and lyrics. Following the glorious Elizium - a masterpiece of prog-tinged goth rock - he departed the band and ended up forming the thematically similar The Nefilim, though if their sound is anything to go by he was in an absolutely foul mood when he did so.

Injecting a heavy dose of death metal into the Fields of the Nephilim sound to yield a goth-death fusion, and often eschewing his former stentorian proclamations in favour of death metal shouting, Zoon is the product of a very angry mind indeed. It's a decent showing as far as attempts at quasi-death metal go, though I can't say it stands up to the glories of Elizium.
