Seraphim Shock formed in the early 1990s, with Gabriel Black as the frontman and Lady Arcane on keyboards. They released their debut album 'Nocturnal Embrace' in 1995, followed by 'Little Gothic' in 1998. The title track from that album became one of their most recognizable songs.
Their music worked with gothic themes, as heard in songs like 'After Dark' and 'Welcome To Heaven.' The band's lineup included Vincent Van Helsing on guitar and Dorian Gray on bass alongside Black and Arcane.
They developed a following in the gothic scene, though their dark imagery sometimes drew criticism from religious groups. Their sound influenced later bands working in similar territory.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
