They shared an interest in paganism, witchcraft and vampirism as well as making original music from an early age, and so the type of band that was to emerge from the joining of forces was, quite naturally, an expression of this. Initially the band was called Incubus Succubus. The original aim of the band was (as it still is today) to be the vehicle in which the celebration of the Pagan experience could be conveyed.
After being in existence for about a year the band released their first single, Beltaine, which received Radio 1 and regional airplay. However, shortly after this some members of the band drifted away leaving just Candia & Tony. The couple, however, continued in the form of Children of the Moon, a studio-based project in much the same vein as Incubus Succubus. Their material was very well received by the growing Pagan underground scene.
In December 1991 Bob, the original for Incubus Succubus. drummer, rejoined Candia & Tony, and Incubus Succubus was consequently reborn. The band played around Gloucestershire, Bristol and Oxford, and released all of the Children of the Moon material on one cassette album called Beltaine.
In 1992 the band recorded the album Belladonna & Aconite which was released in October. By this time Incubus Succubus were being hailed as `Britain's Premier Pagan Rock band'. 1993 brought offers from independent record companies, which resulted in the release of Belladonna & Aconite on CD in October, and the Wytches CD in April 1994 on Pagan Records.
During 1993 the band toured twice with Nosferatu, and became regulars at the Marquee in London and Nottingham's Rock City. The band's following grew and so did their fame. They appeared on the BBC World Service and in several European, American and Far Eastern magazines. In 1994 they recorded the EP Corn King, did two headline UK tours, played Paris and also supported the likes of The Damned, Zodiac Mindwarp, Clawfinger, Patricia Morrison and The Marionettes. At the very end of December, shot their video "Wytches" at the notorious Barrow Wake Woods.
In 1994 Incubus Succubus continued touring, and relesed the album "WYTCHES".
In 1995 Incubus Succubus played alongside The Mission, Genitorturers and Danzig at two prestigious German festivals.

The live band went through a stunning metamorphosis and they now play with a drum machine and full programmed orchestral backing from sequencers giving the richness and diversity of sound and emotion previously found only in the recorded band. Bob returned to his first instrument and began to play bass guitar for Inkubus Sukkubus, and the distinctive celtic bodhran was maintained as an integral part of the live as well as recorded I.S.

The lyrics of Inkubus Sukkubus's "Vampyre Erotica" depict a dangerous and forbidden love. The singer is a vampire who craves blood and power, while the object of their desire is a human who longs for love and adventure. The vampire offers a seductive invitation to the human to "come and take a walk" with them, but warns that it will lead to destruction. The vampire is willing to hurt and betray the human, yet still wants them to come to them to be devoured.
The lyrics speak to the power dynamics in relationships, particularly those that are unequal or even abusive. The vampire represents an abusive partner who is willing to hurt their lover, but who still wants to keep them bound to them. The human, on the other hand, represents someone who is willing to give up everything for love, even if it means being hurt or destroyed.
Overall, "Vampyre Erotica" is a haunting and intense portrayal of the dangerous allure of love and power. It speaks to the darker aspects of the human psyche, and the ways in which love can be twisted into something sinister and destructive.

That leads to destruction
The ultimate outcome of our twisted relationship
Come and take a walk with me
Join me in following the path of darkness
Where the angels fear to tread
In the realm of chaos and evil
Kiss the flame, feel the pain
Experience the agony of passion with me
In the furnace of our love
In the intense, destructive heat of our bond
I can't feed my hunger
My need for your life force is unending
Your youth makes me younger
Your vitality replenishes my waning energy
I'll hurt you, desert you
I will inflict pain and abandonment upon you
Turn your dreams to nightmares
I will taint your hopes and desires with terror
I'll cheat you, I'll eat you
I will deceive and consume you
I'll maim you, I'll drain you
I will injure and deplete you
Come to me, come to me
Succumb to my seduction and control
To the dark side where love sleeps
To the realm of twisted and corrupted passion
Come and take a walk with me
Follow me deeper into the darkness
Sing the sweet song of despair
Join me in embracing the pain and misery of our bond
Give your body, give your soul
Surrender yourself to me completely
I'll hurt you, you'll love me
The more I harm you, the more you will desire me
I'll scratch you, I'll cut you
I will inflict physical pain on you for my own pleasure
You'll kiss me, then miss me
You will crave my presence even when I am absent
I'll laugh at your torment
I take pleasure in your pain and suffering
I'll have you, and own you
I will possess and dominate you completely
Be hard and cold to you
I will show you no mercy or compassion
I'll be your dark angel
I will appear as a seductive, otherworldly being
I'll be your worst nightmare
I will bring you immense pain and terror
