Zoon, Nefilim's only studio album, was released in October 1996 by Beggars Banquet Records (Calatogue number BEGA172). The album saw a move away from the rich soundscapes that characterised earlier works from Fields of the Nephilim towards a darker, more industrial / death metal sound. The album is dedicated to Scarlett McCoy, Carl McCoy's daughter.
A music video was created for "Penetration", and the song was later covered by Polish band Behemoth on their EP Slaves Shall Serve.
The album is a concept album, and while McCoy remained largely silent about the themes, one possible explanation is that the story revolves around the Watchers and the Book of Enoch.
