The Netherlands' Goddess of Desire mix 80's styled thrash and power metal with over-the-top theatrics (fireworks, Manowar-meets-Gwar costumes and scantily-clad young maidens) into what they call Ancient Metal.' No, not kidding. Thankfully, band members Count August (vocals/bass), Grev Drake (guitar) and Emperor Mark (drums) usually manage to back up these shenanigans with very competent musicianship and highly potent songwriting. With their exotic dancers, Lilith and Delilah ever in tow, the trio released 1997's Let Us Win this War and 1998's Symbol of Triumph in short order, then welcomed second guitarist Lord Arydon and new drummer Der Knuppelmeister before resuming their quest for world domination (or something like it) via 2002's Conquerors Devine.
