According to different original band members, the band was rehearsing and writing the next Fields of the Nephilim album (with the exception of Yates). However, the anticipated reunion of the original band line-up never happened.

In May 2000, McCoy and Pettitt released "One More Nightmare (Trees Come Down)," the first Fields of the Nephilim single with their new (and original) label, [[Jungle Records]]. It contained newly worked versions of "Trees Come Down" and "Darkcell," both originally released on the ''Burning the Fields'' EP in 1984. Between June and August 2000, the band made four live appearances at European festivals: Woodstage, Eurorock, [[Roskilde Festival|Roskilde]], and [[M'era Luna Festival|M'era Luna]] music festivals.

In 2002, Jungle Records (and licensees including Metropolis Records in the US and SPV in Germany) released the album ''[[Fallen (Fields of the Nephilim album)|Fallen]]''. The release was claimed to be unauthorized by the band and consists of recordings from 1997–2001, the 2000 reworkings of "Trees Come Down" and "Darkcell," and a previously unreleased demo by The Nefilim. The release has been disowned by the band,<ref>{{cite web|title = News|url = http://releasemagazine.net/News/news0209a.htm|website = releasemagazine.net |access-date = 14 October 2015}}</ref> and only one song from it, "From The Fire," has been performed live.
