The Cassandra Complex was formed in 1984 by Rodney Orpheus (vocals,synths, drums machine), Paul Dillon (electronics), and Andy Booth (guitar, keyboards). Their unique synthesis of post-punk, goth, EBM and industrial music, coupled with their exciting, powerful multimedia-driven live show and Rodney Orpheus’ commanding voice and stage presence proved irresistible to audiences, and since then they have toured extensively, filled club dance floors, and topped indie charts around the world. Songs such as Moscow Idaho, One Millionth Happy Customer, Penny Century, and Nightfall have been lauded as classics of the genre.
After a long hiatus they recently returned to the spotlight with the album The Plague, recorded during COVID lockdown, which spent 8 weeks at the top of the German Alternative Chart (DAC). In March 2024 they released Death & Sex, which similarly shot straight to #1 in the DAC for multiple weeks. Both albums are available from COP International Records on CD and on all streaming services.
Rodney Orpheus has also worked as an acclaimed producer, remixer, and music technologist, working with artists such as The Sisters of Mercy, Kraftwerk, Beborn Beton, The Future Sound of London, Die Krupps, Sinead O’Connor, Girls Under Glass, Faith & the Muse, Within Temptation, and many more.
