X-Mal Deutschland ("x times Germany") were an all-female doom rock band from Hamburg that lasted from 1980-1989. According to Allmusic.com they did have some success in the UK (but not that much in their home country) and actually competed with Siouxsie & the Banshess for goth royalty. Their song Incubus Succubus is considered a goth rock anthem. Unfortunately, the band let their sound drift away from doom to more pop-oriented material and switching the language from German to English seems to have been the death knell to their demise.
