Editor's note

Inkubus Sukkubus, London's gothic electronic cult band

A pagan-themed darkwave duo that's kept a ritualistic sound since the early '90s.

If you want to hear their sound in a nutshell, try 'Vampyre Erotica' or 'Heart of Lilith'. They're both pretty much what the band does.

They carved out a niche with their 1993 debut 'Vampyre Erotica', which mixed electro-industrial music with vampiric and occult themes. Songs like 'Heart of Lilith' and 'Vampire Queen' show how they've stuck to witch mythology and dark imagery without ever softening their approach. For three decades, they've built a dedicated following around that theatrical, pagan sound.

Formed in London in 1989, they released 'Vampyre Erotica' in 1993 and followed with albums like 'Belladonna' and 'Viva Death!'. Their songs have always leaned into gothic electronic textures and themes like vampirism and witchcraft. They've kept a consistent presence without chasing trends, just working within that darkwave space.

Archive material and source history

Inkubus Sukkubus formed in London in 1989, led by Candia Ridley and Tony McKormack. Their 1993 debut album 'Vampyre Erotica' gave them a cult following with its mix of electro-industrial music and themes drawn from vampirism and the occult. The title track became something of an anthem for that scene.

They released albums like 'Belladonna' in 1996 and 'Viva Death!' in 1999, working within a gothic electronic sound while touching on witch mythology in songs like 'Wytches' and 'Heart of Lilith'. Their music has always had a theatrical, ritualistic quality to it.
