There are at least two artists with this name:

1) Garden Of Delight is a gothic rock band Founded in 1991, Artaud 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 The Garden of Delight cannot be viewed as individual albums or songs — they are all integral aspects of the whole plan that Artaud has been consistently explicating since the first years of this decade. In the 1994 song “Necromanteion (S.O.C.R.),” Artaud utters “The Last of the Lost Ones/Tell them I want to see them.” On their most recent album “Scheoul,” he declares “We are the Last of the Lost Ones.” Six years and six albums later, the circle approaches completion.

Musically, there can be little doubt that Artaud is influenced by Carl McCoy in both subject matter and vocal style.
G.O.D. retain the fundamental structure of “a man and his drum machine.” However, Artaud sneers at the notion that the Garden of Delight is a “goth” band. Considering goth, one immediately thinks of bands that are influenced by the Sisters of Mercy. Granted, there is a certain degree of such within the Garden of Delight’s work (particularly Symbol and Vision). However, this does not take into account the incredible diversity of their music. Indeed, while all of their albums have had thematic consistency, their music has changed greatly through the years.

ich muss metalifuckinca rechtgeben ich kenn diese goths nicht und weiss auch nicht ob das ne gute band ist aber die irish folk band G.O.D. mit denen zu verwechseln is schon leicht unpassend ... nun habe ich in meiner musik sammlung stehen dass ich schon über 1000 titel dieser band gespielt habe was garnicht stimmt da die andere band gemeint ist ...

Necromanteion is a good goth album, would even say Doom-Gothrock :) Some of the other songs are also ok, while said album is my fave.

Address Unknown is an infectious blend of first, second and third wave goth, complimented by layered bass, desolate atmospheres and symphonic movements.
