Descendants Of Cain
Descendants of Cain is the brainchild of South African composer Darryl Kruger. In 1998 Darryl uprooted himself from his native soil, and armed with little more than his instruments and a suitcase of songs, set off for London to seek his fortunes and make his mark on the music world. A fateful meeting with kindred spirits Philippa Moore and Iain Smith resulted in the first realisation of DoC as a live act. A well-received debut performance at the Camden Underworld supporting Incubus Succubus was followed by almost a year of hard work, the result of which was the self-financed first album, ATZILUTH. A monthly residency at Club Tenebrae (London) - which was to last almost two years - gave the band a chance to develop a solid live performance and build a loyal fan base, and afforded a valuable opportunity to begin experimenting with the live shows - this involved building a lighting and effects rig to create a visually striking physical atmosphere to complement the already atmospheric and illuminated sound.
2001 was a year of development involving the adoption of more sophisticated recording & production techniques, and included gigs alongside Inkubus Sukkubus, The Cruxshadows, The Faces of Sarah, Star Industry, This Burning Effigy, Passion Play and a host of other bands. The release of numerous promotional cd's began earning DOC rave reviews and recognition worldwide for their versatility, passion and original sound.
2002 saw a return to the studio for the recording and production of a second album Briah: Of Man and Magician which was released on December 9th. Live shows were staged around the UK alongside bands such as The Dammed and NFD (ex Fields of the Nephilim/The Nefilim).
In 2003 Darryl decided to end the live performances and began work on his solo project entitled Yetzirah: The Balance of Disharmonies. This was a mammoth undertaking as he was responsible for writing, performing, engineering and producing all twelve songs.
2004 saw the release of The Book of Changes to begin promoting the material from Yetzirah and Assiah.
2006 offers to be an interesting year as all the material for the forth album Assiah is now complete.
In 2008 they finished their next Album: "The Tao Of Wisdom And Misery". And again, DoC have produced an outstanding new album which doesn’t fit into any pigeonhole at all. The unique mix of atmospheric Goth Rock, vibrant Industrial Metal to Ambient and neoclassic elements represents the band’s originality in their music. The lyrics are far from being blatant or nebulous, but brave and to the point. That’s the sound of modern Goth Rock.
