Zeraphine is a German rock band from Berlin formed in 2000 by Sven Friedrich (vocals, programming, lead songwriting) and Norman Selbig (guitars) from the then-defunct Dreadful Shadows.
However, since the Helix name was taken by another band, they were forced to rename themselves Zeraphine – taken from the Hebrew Bible's concepts of the seraph (or seraphim), a class of angel in traditional Judaism and Orthodox Christianity.
Originally, additional band members Manuel Senger (guitars), Michael Nepp (bass), and Marcellus Puhlemann (drums) joined the project as studio musicians.
A music video was made for "Be My Rain" (consisting of live footage), and a limited promo CD was released, featuring album, radio, and club mixes of the title track, and a cover of the Depeche Mode song "In Your Room".
Promptly after the tour finished, Zeraphine again entered the studio and churned out another single, "Die Macht in dir" (2004), which promised a full album at the beginning of the following year.
