5	Inkubus Sukkubus are a [[UsefulNotes/{{Britain}} British]] {{Goth}} and pagan band, formed in 1989 by Candia Ridley, Tony [=McKormack=] and Adam Henderson.
6	----
7	!!This band's work provides examples of:
8	* ArtisticLicenseHistory: "Burning Times". It conflates the Inquisitions with the Witch Trials (the two overlapped sometimes, but they were not synonymous) and then goes on to claim that the Inquisitions targeted pagans, which is incredibly anachronistic. Most of the victims of the Inquisitions were avowed, even devout, Christians who got on the wrong side of Church's hierarchy (e.g. UsefulNotes/JoanOfArc, Girolamo Savonarola, Jacques de Molay).
9	%%* BoyMeetsGhoul: "Soul Inside"
10	* CoverVersion: Of "Paint It Black" by Music/{{The Rolling Stones\|Band}} and "Delilah" by Music/TomJones.
11	* DomesticAbuser: "Reptile", the singer of Vampyre Erotica, while a vampire talking about eating their partner, [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything also has this undertones]].
12	* TheFairFolk: "Away with the Faeries" and "Goblin Jig." Both songs have faeries as their main focus and highlight how they tend to be tricksters who lead you off the path, but also provide you with a sense of "wonder, fever, pain and passion."
13	* TheHecateSisters: "Trinity", which focuses on the three faces of the Triple Goddess.
14	%%* KissOfTheVampire: One of their albums was even titled ''Vampyre Erotica''.
15	* LongestSongGoesLast:
16	** ''Wytches'' ends with "Devils". (5:25)
17	** ''Science and Nature'' ends with their cover of "[[Music/TheRollingStonesBand Sympathy for the Devil]]" (9:38).
18	** ''The Dark Goddess'' ends with "Karnayna". (6:02)
19	** ''The Goat'' ends with "Melancholy Blue". (5:52)
20	* LongRunner: Pretty much. Their album discography shows just as well.
21	* MyNaymeIs: Their name was originally spelled "Incubus Succubus", but was changed for numerological reasons.
22	%%* OdeToIntoxication: "Jägermeister"
23	* PedophilePriest: "Preacher Man" focuses on a priest who uses his position of authority to get away with raping young boys.
24	* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: While their songs often celebrate consensual sexuality, any song that deals with rape and sexual assault gives all the sympathy to the victims, and none to the perpetrators.
25	** "The Rape of Maude Bowen" has her rapist shot dead with an arrow, and her mother's tormentors suffer the same fate.
26	** "Preacher Man" highlights the effects being a victim of a victim of priestly abuse has on young boys.
27	** "Dark Sisters" implies that many of the "fallen women on the left hand road" have been raped, or at least forced into sex work by circumstances beyond their control.
28	* ReligionRantSong: Any song that deals with Christianity is one, although the target tends to be church leaders and authorities.
29	** "Burning Times" and "Witch Hunt" deal with [[BurnTheWitch witch hunts]]. "Hopkins Man" deals with Notorious witchfinder general Matthew Hopkins.
30	** "Church of Madness" is about the inquisition. The music video juxtaposes images of torture, witch burnings and impaled figures, with images of Jesus looking kind and serene, perhaps saying something about how far such behavior is from His teachings.
31	** "Preacher Man" focuses on a priest who abuses young boys, and the effect this has on his victims.
32	** "Catherine" has the church execute the titular character for the crime of being so attractive, all the men lust have her.
33	** Even songs that aren't explicitly about Christianity will take potshots. "Io Pan" remarks how the church tends to lump the Horned God in with Satan. "Craft of the Wise" remarks how the Catholic Church rose, and then celebrates its decline as the fall of tyranny.
34	* RevengeBallad: "Dark Sisters", a rallying cry to witches to take RevengeAgainstMen.
35	* TheSacredDarkness:
36	** "Dark Mother", which focuses on the Triple Goddess's Crone aspects, links to death, decay and rebirth.
37	** "Goddess of Darkness and Light" highlights the two sides of the Goddess- with her being portrayed as both loving and hedonistic, but also cruel and sadistic.
38	** "Supernature" highlights that the Goddess is found in both darkness and light, as well as in life and death.
39	** "Io Pan" presents the named deity as "God of Light and God of Darkness" as well as "God of Death and all creation."
40	** "Hail the Holly King" is jolly ode to the God of the dark and cold half of the year.
41	* SadlyMythtaken: "Lilith, Kali, Nemesis, Morrigan" proclaims all of those mythological figures to be "queens of the darkness, queens of the night" - despite the fact that that only describes Lilith. The rest are/were simply war goddesses.
42	* SuccubiAndIncubi: In the name, and the song "Incubus" (among others).
43	* TheVamp: Subverted with "Catherine", as it's left unclear if the titular character is genuinely seducing the men around her, or is simply just an attractive young woman who the 'unloved wives' [[spoiler: have killed to stop their husbands from lusting after her.]]
44	* WarIsHell: "Atrocity" focuses on a poor farmer boy going off to war and then lists all the horrors and atrocities he will commit while on the front lines.
45	%%* TheWildHunt: "Wild Hunt"
46	%%* WitchHunt: "Wake of the Christian Knights" and "All The Devil's Men".
