There are at least Three artists with this name:
1) Garden Of Delight (1991-1997, 2000-2008) was a German gothic rock band. Artaud Seth proclaimed that G.O.D. would produce seven albums in seven years with seven songs each — seven is a very powerful number and, in some arcane traditions, seven thrice is the number of perfection. The corpus of Garden of Delight cannot be viewed as individual albums or songs — they are all integral aspects of the whole plan that Artaud was consistently explicating.
G.O.D. were heavily influenced by second-wave goth rock bands like The Sisters of Mercy and Fields of the Nephilim, certainly resembling their forerunners in terms of sound while often surpassing them conceptually. However, Artaud sneered at the notion that the Garden of Delight was a “goth” band. Though there was a certain degree of Sisters and FotN influence, Garden of Delight’s music had an incredible diversity. Indeed, while all of their albums have had thematic consistency, their music changed greatly through the years. The Garden of Delight were never content with a particular “sound.” They adopted one, mastered it, synthesized it with something else, and then moved on. To firmly label the Garden of Delight would imply musical stagnation, which is quite far from the truth.
After the release of the original seven albums, Artaud broke up the band in 1997.

Truly an under appreciated band. and while they are a sisters of the nephilim clone, but they make it work. Combining the styles of both bands to create one that works perfectly.

Fields of the Nephilim, as well, were called once a ripoff of Sisters of Mercy.

tadeox, why do you write to this shoutbox if you hate this band? You can go to your own private cave and enjoy Joanna Newsom or something else that you like. So go and enjoy. And let us enjoy Garden Of Delight.

Used to be a FOTN ripoff, now defunct. Now Artaud comes back with Merciful Nuns that -guess what- is another cheat, this time a TSOM ripoff. Lame.
