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.

Is not the moon much finer than the sun?
Let my cheeks be stained
By the yeilding of your heart

CHORUS (x2)
The lyrics of Inkubus Sukkubus's song Vampyre Kiss capture the seductive power of vampiric love. The singer invites their beloved to fall into their arms and surrender to the embrace of eternity. The dreamlike quality of the world they inhabit, where no-one is ever who they seem, adds to the sense of danger and intrigue in the song. The singer presents themselves as a dark angel, one who will hold and caress their love, but also destroy them by opening up their soul to the vampyric realm. The imagery of the moon and sun reinforces their otherworldliness and the fact that their love is beyond the limits of human experience. The reference to "crimson lips" and "unworldly bliss" adds to the sense of the forbidden and transgressive nature of this love.
Overall, the song Vampyre Kiss presents the seductive allure of the vampire mythos, with its promise of eternal love and power, as well as its destructive nature. The singer's voice is haunting and mesmerizing, drawing the listener into a world of darkness and desire.

Fall into my arms my love
Come to me, my beloved, and let me hold you.
And dream sweet sinful dreams
Together, let us indulge in forbidden pleasures and desires in our dreams.
Where no-one is ever who they seem
In this world of darkness, no one is truly who they appear to be.
Let me be your darkened angel
Let me be the one to guide you through the shadows and lead you down the path of darkness.
Surrender your love to me
Give me all of your love, and trust in me completely.
Embrace the night for all eternity
Join me in embracing the endless darkness of the night, never to return to the light.

No one in this life can ever love you as deeply and passionately as I can.
I will destroy you, open up your soul to me
I will consume you entirely, body and soul.
Feel no fear my love
Do not be afraid of our dark love.
For we were meant to be as one
Our love was meant to be, and we belong together.
Is not the moon much finer than the sun?
The darkness of the night and the moon's glow are far more beautiful than the brightness of the sun.
Let my cheeks be stained
Let your love mark me, and let me wear it proudly.
By the yeilding of your heart
As you give me your heart, let it leave its mark upon me.
And never more need we be apart
We shall forever be joined in our love, never to be separated.
And while my crimson lips
As my lips are stained red with your love,
Are still moistened from the kiss
fresh from our embrace,
Share with me such unworldly bliss
let us share in the ecstasy of our love, which is beyond this mortal realm.
