"Zeraphine, a bilingual goth-rooted alternative rock band from Berlin, arose from the demise of Dreadful Shadows, an influential English-language German darkwave band from the 1990s. Zeraphine was founded in 2000 by vocalist/lyricist Sven Friedrich and guitarist Norman Selbig, who had been among the founding members of Dreadful Shadows (whose existence lasted from 1993 to 2000 and resulted in four albums). Together with renowned Berlin producer Thommy Hein, Friedrich and Selbig conceived their new band as Helix; however, when they later discovered that name had already been taken, they decided instead upon Zeraphine, which is derived from the Hebrew word seraph (i.e., a celestial being with six wings, two hands, and a human voice). Joining Friedrich and Selbig in Zeraphine were guitarist Manuel Senger, bassist Michael Nepp, and drummer Marcellus Puhlemann." (Myspace)
