Gothic

enkElination (enkeli - meaning Angel in finnish) was formed in November 2011. Founded by classically trained former opera singer Elina Siirala. She moved to London from Finland in 2008 and fell in love with the power and performance of rock and metal. Now she is using her classical roots to help create her own mark in the world of alternative music. She’s a talented and powerful singer/composer creating Melodic Hard Rock from a multitude of influences. Surrounded by heavy guitar sounds and metal drums, Elina's voice cuts through the darkness with an ethereal angelic quality.

Martin Lee Gore (born July 23, 1961 in Dagenham, Essex, England) a member of the band Depeche Mode since its inception in 1980. He is currently the primary songwriter, and also plays keyboard and guitar. He is also the backup singer, and sometimes the lead singer. In 2003, Martin released Counterfeit2, a solo cover album follow-up to his 1989 Counterfeit EP. Both feature his takes on other people's material, and he has stated publicly before that he considers himself not the most prolific songwriter, and prefers to keep his own material for Depeche Mode albums.

In this new collaborative project the core members are Stephen Carey, formerly of Ireland’s This Burning Effigy; and Tony Pettitt, formerly of the Fields of the Nephilim. With each song various musicians have been involved, bringing in their own talents and trademark sounds to produce the debut album that is ‘Smoke & Mirrors’. The vocalists who have graced The Eden House to produce these songs are Julianne Regan (All About Eve), Evi Vine, Amandine Ferrari and Monica Richards (Faith and the Muse).

Forming in 1982 in London, UK, Alien Sex Fiend played their first ever gig at the original Batcave club in Soho, London. They quickly became known in the batcave and subsequent gothic scenes, then far beyond those genres for their dark electronic, industrial, punk sound, with its mixture of heavy samples, trippy loops, guitar and manic vocals. Comprising of frontman Nik Fiend and his spouse Mrs. Fiend as the nucleus, the band has put out a long and musically varied discography over the years.
