What started at the beginning of 1995 as a fun idea, turned out to be a serious band after winning several festival prizes. The idea of the band is to bring back the Glory-days of Metal (middle eighties) by playing cover songs from this era and own songs in that typical style. The musical part is completed with a bizarre sensual-macabre show. Goddess Of Desire has the name being the 'cult Show-Metalband from Holland'!

At first they played traditional Metal covers, but later they started writing their own songs. Their 4th gig was already on Dutch TV and their 8th gig was the first across the border. Journalists reported them as a Shock-rockband and they've been refused a few times in places because of their controversial show and/or lyrics. Still, Goddess Of Desire turned out to be a very wanted band with a professional show.
Goddess already did a lot of headliner shows but also supported bands like Destruction(D), Gwar(US), Therion(S), Rockbitch(UK) and Gorefest(NL). Now Goddess Of Desire is well-known in the Metal-scene also because of very successful shows in front of thousands at Dynamo 1997 & Wacken 1998. They were also noticed by several Dutch TV stations who broadcasted their show. Early '98 the first headline tour through Germany was done. The first deed in 1999 was signing a deal with Metal-Blade who released their 2nd CD/LP! At the very end of 1999 Goddess (& Tankard) supported Sodom on their tour through Germany. In the years following Goddess of Desire played several festivals, a.o. the With Full Force Festival, Summerbreeze and Bang Your Head revisited. In 2005 the band signed with Armageddon Recs. Who will release their 4th album "Awaken Pagan Gods".

At the end of 2009, Goddess of Desire broke up. A statement from the band can be found here.
