The Sisters of Mercy

Biography

English gothic rock band, The Sisters of Mercy formed in 1980, achieving early underground fame before their commercial breakthrough in the mid-80s. They have released three albums in their career: ‘First and Last and Always’, ‘Floodland’ and ‘Vision Thing’, before stopping all releases in 1990 to protest their record company, Time Warner. Now the group has undergone many revivals, playing unreleased songs, obscure B-sides and reimagining’s of old songs to fans. In 2016 there were murmurings of a new album, with vocalist Andrew Eldritch saying “"I can tell you one thing: If Donald Trump actually does become President, that will be reason enough for me to release another album.”, so perhaps one is on the way.
