History
Inkubus Sukkubus have released albums and toured ever since their formation as Incubus Succubus in 1989.
In 1995, they changed their name to Inkubus Sukkubus, citing numerological reasons, and signed to Resurrection Records. The live line-up changed significantly, adopting the use of a drum machine and sequenced backing, with some additional support by a bodhrán, and Adam Henderson moving back to bass.
In 1996, the band appeared live on UK national television on Channel 4's "The Big Breakfast", performing the track "Heartbeat Of The Earth".[4]
Inkubus Sukkubus were due to play a gig in Mexico City on Beltane (1 May) 2009. When it was cancelled due to the outbreak of swine influenza, the band received national media exposure, particularly through The Sun newspaper.[5]
Members
The group currently consists of guitarist Tony McKormack, vocalist Candia McKormack and bassist Dave Saunders. The band uses a drum machine and sequencer to provide percussion and orchestral backing.
- Candia McKormack - vocals, lyrics (contralto)
- Tony McKormack, guitar, production, songwriting, some vocals (ex-Screaming Dead, also in Vampire Division)

In 2013, Candia was the model for a painting called "The Sukkubus" by award winning fantasy artist, Larry Elmore for use in his Kickstarter.
