Description
The first Sirens of Light album 'Nullus Margis Gothica' was recorded in 2004 and saw a very limited release in 2005. The album was written and recorded mostly between March and June 2004 at Andy J.'s family home in Suffolk, England - a medieval church - using very minimal equipment and a mobile recording device. Additional recording and mixing were done later in 2004 at Earthworks Studios, London and at Damage Recordings in Herfordshire U.K.
The album was always designed to be very traditional goth and to be listened to from beginning to end, taking the listener on a journey through an emotional soundscape of the dark, mysterious and macabre.....
Original copies of this release are now almost impossible to find.
Sixteen years later, in 2021, after the lost original recordings were discovered by chance, a new re-mixed version of the record 'Nullus Margis Gothica MMXXI' will be released. As much of the original recordings have been preserved as possible.
Drawing on influences from the earliest days of Gothic rock and the 80's /90's London Goth and Glam scenes - Sisters Of Mercy, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen,Southern Death Cult, March Violets, Rose Of Avalanche, Bauhaus etc.
The band was originally formed in spring 2004 by musician and producer Andy J. Davies and James P. Quinn. Both members have worked with and toured with many bands including Rubicon, Last Rights (Fields of the Nephilim), Soho Roses, S*M*A*S*H*.
