Customer Reviews Return of the Nephilim Whether or not this is a purposeful symbolic move to link past with future or a bit of laziness on behalf of McCoy & Co. FOTN return with a powerhouse reworking of two old tracks. is slightly ambiguous, but either way any new material must be cause for celebration. While ONE MORE NIGHTMARE plugs into the sound of Zoon, Darkcell hints at the slower, more Byronic moodiness which will hopefully manifest itself on the new album. One thing's for sure, in an age of marketing-man pop music with 3 week shelf lives, we need the Nephilim. One More Nightmare--Fields of the Nephilim It's a bit distressing that FothN feel the need to re-work two songs that were perfect the first time around, especially "Darkcell". This "new" release is very similar in sound to the last Nefilim album, "Zoon". Still it's great that they are at long last doing something. These re-workings are very much in the sort of dark, metal-like vein that Carl McCoy has been experimenting with, but they still possess a certain power. If one does not try too hard to compare these new versions to the originals, they are fairly good. Hopefully FothN will not take too long to release a new album of all new material. ... Though, I need to emphasise that this doesn't sound like either band spawned from the disbanding of the earlier incarnation: Rubicon and The Nefilim; it's not the same old Fields sound re-tread. The Nephilim are back Heavier, louder, and pushed forward in time; but, still the familliar sound carried through. Now utilizing more keyboards (think the moody use on Elyzium) and some minor drum pattern assistance, the long wait was well worth it. It's a great single and I cannot wait to hear the new material! *Note* I only gave this single 4 stars because both tracks are re-workings of older pieces. .
