Our Take

The Sisters of Mercy burst onto the goth rock scene with their debut album "First And Last And Always," showcasing a dark and brooding sound that sent shockwaves through the music world. From the haunting vocals of frontman Andrew Eldritch to the atmospheric guitar work of Wayne Hussey, this album is a gothic masterpiece that still holds up thirty years later.

Opening track "Black Planet" sets the tone with its ominous bassline and haunting lyrics, drawing listeners into the dark world of The Sisters of Mercy. The band's signature sound is on full display throughout the album, with tracks like "Marian" and "Some Kind of Stranger" showcasing their mastery of blending post-punk and gothic rock.

But it's not all doom and gloom on "First And Last And Always." The Sisters of Mercy show their more melodic side on tracks like "Alice" and "No Time to Cry," proving that they can craft catchy hooks as well as brooding atmospheres.

Overall, "First And Last And Always" is a must-listen for any fan of goth rock or post-punk. The Sisters of Mercy have crafted an album that stands the test of time and cements their place as legends in the music industry. So grab your black eyeliner and prepare to be transported to the dark and mysterious world of The Sisters of Mercy.

About the artist

The Sisters of Mercy

SISTERS OF MERCY: The gothic rock legends that oozed more darkness than a midnight graveyard rave. This Leeds-based band, fronted by the enigmatic Andrew Eldritch, burst onto the scene in the early 1980s and quickly became the darlings of the alternative music world. With their signature blend of post-punk, new wave, and epic gloom, SISTERS OF MERCY were like a swirling vortex of black eyeliner and existential dread. Eldritch's baritone vocals could make even the most jaded listener feel like they were trapped in a gothic cathedral on a stormy night. Their seminal album "First and Last and Always" is a classic of the genre, with tracks like "Lucretia My Reflection" and "Marian" still sending shivers down spines to this day. SISTERS OF MERCY knew how to create a mood, and that mood was always one of brooding intensity. But don't let their somber aesthetic fool you - these guys had a sense of humour too. Just check out their cheeky cover of The Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" for a taste of their playful side. And let's not forget their famous feud with former band member Wayne Hussey, which was like a gothic soap opera playing out in real time. So if you're in the mood for some dark, moody, and utterly captivating music, look no further than SISTERS OF MERCY. Just be sure to wear your black eyeliner and velvet cape - they wouldn't have it any other way.
