The group is heavily influenced by The Sisters of Mercy, Black Sabbath, and Fields of the Nephilim, and in sound are similar to the styles of Charon, Tiamat, Moonspell, and Type O Negative.

The band's current and former line-up has consisted of many musicians from progenital Gothenburg melodic death metal bands; Kristian Wåhlin, Johan Osterberg, and Alf Svensson were in Grotesque (a predecessor of At the Gates, who Alf would eventually join); and Daniel Svensson briefly played drums with the group before going on to major success with In Flames.

The band's most recent release was The Green Goddess (2001). Various sources differ as to band's status. However, Hans Nilsson's full-time involvement with Dimension Zero and Wåhlin's extensive contributions as an album cover artist and musician for other Scandinavian-area extreme metal bands may be attributable to the long period of no activity.

Diabolique Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, you know what I'm feeling
Yes, you're all that I needed
You, you reach into my shell
Yes, you know me all too well

You, you breath the air I breathe
Yes, you see the world I see
You, you own my earth my sky

Yes, you said "let's get high and die"

And I do it all for you
I do it all for you
It's only you, it's only you
That make me feel like you do
It's only you, it's only you
And I do it all for you
It's only you, it's only you

You, you know when I'm so low
Yes, you're the girl I dreamed of

You, you free my desires
Yes, you're keeping me wired
