Fifteen years after ''Elizium'', McCoy released ''[[Mourning Sun]]'', his fourth full-length studio album under the name Fields of the Nephilim. The album had seven original songs, with a cover version of [[Zager and Evans]]'s "[[In the Year 2525]]" included as a bonus track on the first 5,000 copies.

In interviews following the release of the album ''Mourning Sun'', McCoy mentioned collaborating with ghost musicians, but only John "Capachino" Carter is officially credited on the album.

In 2006, some European venues announced that a tour was to take place, although this was never officially confirmed. In spite of high ticket sales, none of the gigs occurred.<ref>{{cite web|title = View topic – Nephilim Tour Cancelled? :: Heartland :: The Sisters of Mercy Forum|url = https://www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=11898&highlight=&sid=ad6928eeb4799a16b3d1cf5534499a5d|website=Myheartland.co.uk |access-date = 15 October 2015}}</ref> Through the band's official website, McCoy emphasized that he had not confirmed these dates with promoters or venues, and reiterated that people should not buy tickets for such events until official announcements through the band's website confirmed that such live performances were to go ahead.

In May 2007, McCoy performed as Fields of the Nephilim for the first time in seven years, at the [[London Astoria]]. According to the band's website, the event was filmed by video director [[Richard Stanley (film director)|Richard Stanley]],<ref>{{cite web|title = Other Works: Music Videos [Between Death and the Devil]|url = http://www.everythingisundercontrol.org/nagtloper/other/music.php|website=Everythingisundercontrol.org|access-date = 14 October 2015}}</ref> who had directed videos for the original band's singles; however, due to quality issues with the audio recording and filming, it was abandoned.

''Ceromonies'' was the culmination of a two-night event sponsored by [[Metal Hammer]] magazine in which the band played material spanning their career. Performed at London's O2 Shepherds Bush Empire, the band performed to sell-out crowds. The 'Ceromonies' line-up for this event that featured on the live album and DVD was McCoy, Carter, King, Edwards, and Newell. Highlights of this period included the band's biggest-ever headline show to date at the 2008 M'era Luna Festival, where the 'Ceromonies' line-up performed in front of over 23,000 people. The rapturous encore from this show, "Last Exit for the Lost," was also included on ''Ceromonies''.

In June 2008, a DVD entitled ''Live in Düsseldorf 1991'' was released. Sacred Symphony released the DVD and double CD box set as well as a double LP vinyl version of ''Ceromonies (Ad Mortem Ad Vitam)''<!---References support this apparent intentional misspelling---> on 16 April 2012, consisting of recordings and footage from the two concerts. The vinyl version does not come with the live DVD.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.invisibleoranges.com/2012/05/fields-of-the-nephilim-ceromonies/|title=FIELDS OF THE NEPHILIM released Ceromonies 2-CD live album|website=[[Invisible Oranges]]|access-date=3 April 2013}}</ref> It was also released as a collectible box set coming in a wooden box with the Ceromonies logo and title branded on the wooden lid.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.fields-of-the-nephilim.com/RK/Products/CEROMONIES_BOXSET.htm|title=Fields of the Nephilim Ceromonies Collector Box-Set|website=Fields-of-the-nephilim.com|access-date=3 April 2013}}</ref>
