Sounding like howling witches burning at the stake, the ghoulish shrieks of X-mal Deutschland’s 1982 debut single “Incubus Succubus” immediately won the approval of goth rock connoisseurs. The German band wasn’t able to maintain its black-clad sound, selling out to pop before the inevitable breakup. X-mal Deutschland was formed in Hamburg, Germany, in 1980 by Anja Huwe (vocals), Manuela Rickers (guitar), Rita Simon (bass), Fiona Sangster (keyboards), and Caro May (drums). Originally an all-girl lineup, X-mal Deutschland added a male when Simon was replaced by bassist Wolfgang Ellerbrock.

@Alpha71: simply because neither x-mal nor bauhaus are batcave or deathrock

I don´t like batcave or deathrock very much normally, but X-mal and Bauhaus are exceptions for this rule :)

I can see a similarity with the sound of the first Banshees album, but that's about it.

I can see why people would say Anja sounds like Siouxsie, but I don't think the band necessarily sounds like the Banshees at all. I think they sound much closer to a band like Joy Division, but they do their own thing. Love them.

I loved all the post punk bands, and Xmal is definitely one to love.
