14 years after "Tales Of Vampires", the French Goth group The Brotherhood Of Pagans return with a new album, "Only Once". This music is a real batcave inspired by so delicious things like: Siouxsie, Chameleons, F242, Siglo XX, Norma-Loy, Killing Joke, Tanit, Marc Seberg, Clair Obscur, Young Gods, Midnight Oil, Joy Division, Cure, Wall Of Voodoo, Virgin Prunes, Christian Death, Bauhaus, Birthday Party, Mission, Cult, Danse Society, Cocteau Twins etc... Available from February 09, 2009.


The Brotherhood Of Pagans is a French Goth group formed in March 1990. It rose from the ashes of two other “Cold Wave” combos of the time – Itchy Souls and Harms Heretics. From the former came Alien (rhythmic guitar and vocals) and Coccs (keyboards), and from the later came Sailor (drums), Elrik (bass) and Vox populi (guitar). In September 1993, they meet Darkland Of Tears who decided to manage them. It was a very fruitful collaboration because quickly they were booked into and played much bigger gigs than before – for example playing with Corpus Delicti in Nice 1993. Darkland’s role also was also to promote The Brotherhood by means of numerous international compilations, either produced by Darkland such as "Cold Tears" or "Gothicland", or produced by the other labels such as No.controle torture, with “Fight Amnesia”. Darkland Of Tears also produced two demos, "Flower of Oblivion" and "Inquisition Day". But the most important event in The Brotherhood of Pagans’ career so far was  their first CD, "Tales of Vampires", released in March 1995 and produced by Darkland Of Tears. During the rest of 1995 this album became a real success for the gothic style of the Brotherhood (in 17 countries). But in January 1996, there was a real blow to The Brotherhood when bass player Elrik decided to leave the group. Elrik was not just a bass player to the remaining members, but as the group’s name indicates, he was a brother. In 2006, Coccs, Sailor and Vox Populi finally decided to take up the musical reins again after a long period of inactivity and have re-entered the recording studio.
