When Carl McCoy wanted to take Fields of the Nephilim in a new direction, he broke with the rest of the band. Thus, Carl formed The Nefilim, while the rest of the band got Andy Delany as new vocalist and became Rubicon.
They released two albums and a number of singles before collapsing and news of a FoTN reformation. However, this failed to materialise and the Wright brothers are now in Last Rites, while Tony Petitt is NFD with Simon Rippin from the Nefilim/Sensorium and Peter "Bob" White from Sensorium. Peter Yates guests on NFD's album.
