Devil Doll were (is?) a super proggy, gothy, metal-tinged ridiculous band that someone introduced me to in my teens when I was listening to Marilyn Manson. He turned to me and went "Oh, you think that's goth? THIS IS GOTH" in a very Crocodile Dundee way. I say ridiculous because the backstory is a huge pile of absurd statements, possible lies a Residents-level of mystery (Mr. Doctor's name was revealed a couple years back when he wrote a giant book on 7" punk releases in the UK): quote:The first work of Devil Doll was The Mark of the Beast, recorded in Tivoli Studios, Ljubljana in the last half of 1987. After being finished, a single copy pressed, in February 1988. The cover to the album was painted by Mr. Doctor himself, who keeps the album in his home to this day. No other copies exist: "This is a painting, not a graphic work". That's the way he operated: press up some copies, give 'em away, burn the rest in a bonfire. He hasn't released anything since '96 but insists that he still records on a regular basis, he just doesn't have any interest in releasing anything.
