In 1979 Arcieri and Moser released their second album, Hibernation.
In 1980 the band officially changed its name to "Krisma". Their third album, Cathode Mamma, featured Hans Zimmer on synthesizer. The single "Many Kisses" was met with great success in Europe. Around this time Krisma developed the first minisequencer, known as Krismino. Krisma left Polygram for CGD, then part of the CBS group, in 1981.
In 1982 Krisma released Clandestine Anticipation, an experimental album dealing with water in all of its forms (liquid, ice, vapor, fog, snow and rain) supported by a series of videos filmed in tropical locations. The clips were first shown on Carlo Massarini's Mister Fantasy TV program on Rai 1.
Krisma moved to New York City in 1986. They directed three videos for MTV, and soon after they began to work for France 2. In Italy they often appeared on the program "Be Bop a Lula" hosted by Red Ronnie for Italia Uno. The single "Nothing To Do With the Dog" (retitled "Fido" in international markets) and "Iceberg" were released during this time.
In 1988 Non ho denaro was released. It was their last album to be released on vinyl, and today it is one of the hardest-to-find Krisma records.
During the 1990s Krisma's early records were remastered. They continued to do freelance work for the Italian state broadcasting company Rai 3, and they were credited for crafting the special effects on the Marco Ferreri film Nitrato d'Argento (1996). Krisma also designed several video-art installations and worked as consultants for Benetton's Centro Ricerca Comunicazione. On July 22, 1998 the couple launched Krisma TV, which was broadcast through the Skyplex satellite service (and later Eutelstat) to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
In June 2000 the band opened their website, www.krismatv.net. Arcieri made a comeback attempt with Re-Birth, a solo project, around the same time. The single "Kara" was released in 2001 in both Italian and English versions. In 2002 Krisma collaborated with the Turin-based band Subsonica on the track Nuova Ossessione.

Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Put your hand inside it, and she'll tell you where to find it,
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
And when she is not talking, be sure she wants some rockin'
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
If you're not into rockin' you're best to keep on walking
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
In her, black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Lutting instigation, her spell is captivating,
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Provoking whip, lash lash, please stop smoking
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Oh baby, baby no-ones loving, your degeneration
Black silk stocking Black silk stocking
Oh baby, no-ones loving, your degeneration

In Krisma's song "Black silk stocking," the singer is describing a woman who's wearing black silk stockings and how desirable she is. The lyrics depict her as a strong and powerful woman who knows what she wants, and when she wants it. The song highlights the sexual and alluring nature of the woman in the black silk stockings. The line, "Put your hand inside it, and she'll tell you where to find it," suggests the woman is confident in her sexuality, and she knows how to steer her partner in the right direction, almost like a seductive game of hide and seek.
The lyrics also highlight the power dynamic between the woman and her partner. The line, "If you're not into rockin' you're best to keep on walking," suggests the woman won't settle for anything less than a passionate, sexual encounter. She has the power to choose who she wants to be intimate with, and she won't waste her time on anyone who can't keep up with her desires. The provocative use of the words "whip" and "lash" adds an element of BDSM to the mix, implying that the woman might enjoy some kinkier sexual activities.
Overall, "Black silk stocking" is a song that explores themes of sexuality, power dynamics and desire, with the black silk stockings being a symbol of a woman's sexual empowerment.
