There are at least Three artists with this name:

1) Garden Of Delight (1991-1997, 2000-2008) was a German 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.

    Sounds a bit like Fields of the Nephilim. Not the singer though, he seems to have a bit more distinctive accent. (like the German guy from Diary of Dreams)

    while they are a sisters of the nephilim clone, but they make it work. [2] a lot of boring stuff, especially in the newer albums, but all in all top place in the second tier of gothic bands.

    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.
