A moody, atmospheric band formed from members of The Mission in 1993.
If you want to get what they're about, listen to 'Forever Grey' or 'Regret'. That moody, theatrical feel is their home turf.
They've been doing this gothic rock thing since 'Crimson' in 1994, and they've never really strayed from that sound. Songs like 'Black Orchids' and 'Undertow' show what they do best, atmospheric, melodic music with Hussey's vocals and Hinkler's guitar work. It's not trendy, but it's consistent.
They started in 1993 with members from The Mission, adding drummer Martin Atkins from Public Image Ltd. Their debut 'Crimson' came out in 1994, followed by albums like 'Mephisto' and 'The Phantom of the Opera'. The lineup has shifted over the years, but Hussey and Hinkler have stayed through records like 2004's 'Restless'.
