This Burning Effigy was an Irish gothic rock band formed in Dublin in 1993 and consisted of Stephen Carey on guitar and keyboards, Ger Egan on vocals, Micheal Cowley on bass, Brian Fallon on drums, and Phil Doyle on guitar. They recorded their first demo The Eternal Procession at Heartbeat Studios and released their debut album, To Bestial Gods..., in 1996 under the label Grave News. In 1996, the band relocated to London, where Cowley and Fallon decided to remain in Dublin due to personal commitments. The remaining two members continued their work, releasing Descent in 1999 with vocals from Julianne Regan of All About Eve on some tracks. Their final album, Resolution, was released in 2000. The band disbanded in 2001.
