[2][3] Drawing on late 1970s techno experimentalists such as Cabaret Voltaire and The Human League, and the early 1980s synthesizer sound of artists such as Depeche Mode and Alphaville, Suspiria fused crisp electronics with heavily effected guitars to produce a much more dancefloor-orientated sonic backdrop to the melodramatic vocal stylings of frontman Lucian.
on the Nottingham label, Nightbreed Recordings, led to widespread international club and radioplay and established Suspiria as one of the most sought after bands in the underground goth scene.
[citation needed] This was followed up with the 1995 album, The Great and Secret Show, which featured a number of tracks that would become major club hits, including "Night Time" and a haunting cover of Depeche Mode's "Behind the Wheel".
[citation needed] Internal tensions during the recording of Drama however had begun to take its toll on the band, with Lucian in particular suffering nervous attacks at shows in Paris and London.
In January 2008, Tansley reworked the club hit "Allegedly, Dancefloor Tragedy", with vocals provided by Subterfuge frontman Clifford Ennis.
