Inkubus Sukkubus
Inkubus Sukkubus are a British pagan/gothic rock band formed in 1989 by Candia Ridley, Tony McKormack, and Adam Henderson.
History
Inkubus Sukkubus are a British pagan/gothic rock band who have been releasing albums and touring since their formation in 1989.
Incubus Succubus
Prior to this, Tony McKormack (guitar) and Adam Henderson (bass) had formed a band called Belas Knapp, the name was changed to Incubus Succubus when they were joined by Candia Ridley on vocals. From he outset the band had a very strong neo-pagan orientation. The first single, "Beltaine", and a matching EP, were recorded in 1989, as was the original version of the first album, "Belladonna And Aconite"[The CD version of this album which is now available is actually a combination of the Beltaine EP (Beltaine, Midnight Queen, Trinity), and the original album (all other tracks)]. The line-up listed on the sleve of the 7" Beltaine single is: Candia - Vocals, Tony McKormack - Guitars/Vocals, Adam Henderson - Bass, Jamie Gardner - Keyboards, Bob Gardner - Drums. However when the first pressing of the EP came back warped, several members left the band Inkubus Sukkubus early history from www.inkubus-sukkubus.co.uk, accessed July 16th 2007
Children Of The Moon
Tony and Candia continued alone as a studio project, Children Of The Moon, until 1993. The material recorded during this time (including early versions of tracks that would become Inkubus Sukkubus classics) was eventually released as the album "Beltaine".
In late 1993 Incubus Succubus re-formed with Bob Gardner on drums, signed to Pagan Media[Pagan Media was a small record label based in Runcorn, England, UK. Notable primarily for releasing the original version of "Wytches" (which subsequently became rare due to a lack of distribution), they also signed UK band "Legend". Pagan Media went out of business some time about 2000, after which Resurrection Records of London re-released "Wytches", and the band released a heavily remixed version of the album's title track with added sound effects and a heavily modified end chant, as "Wytches 2002", on MP3 on the Internet to celebrate the album's revived availability.], released the full-length version of "Belladona and Aconite", and in 1994 recorded and released "Wytches". Wytches subsequently became known as "the legendary second album", as it both contains what many fans regard as some of the band's finest work, and (due to issues with Pagan Media), rapidly became almost impossible to obtain.
Inkubus Sukkubus
In 1995 they changed their name to Inkubus Sukkubus, citing numerological reasons,[Biography. Inkubussukkubus.com. URL accessed June 6 2006.] and changed their line-up significantly, adopting the use of a drum machine with some additional support by a bodhran instead of a dedicated human drummer, with Adam Henderson moving back to bass.
The group surfaced into the mainstream several times (with the song Beltaine receiving Radio 1 airtime and with several TV appearances under their belt, mainly in the mid-nineties). This is despite their lyrical themes and beliefs: Inkubus Sukkubus are a neopagan band, known for songs about demons, vampires, faeries and other occult and supernatural themes. Their songs are largely inspired by their interest in and practice of witchcraft and paganism, which has gained them a certain notoriety and underground status as being the "voice of modern-day paganism". They have begun experimenting with unconventional instruments such as dulcimers and more challenging song structures.
Membership
The group consists of guitarist Tony McKormack, vocalist Candia, and bassist Adam Henderson. Candia is the main vocalist, but McKormack does some backing vocals, and sings one song, "Atrocity", on his own. The band employs a drum machine to fill their percussion section.
