Our Take

Buckle up, darlings, because Sisters of Mercy are back with a vengeance on their iconic second album "Floodland." This Gothic rock masterpiece is a dark and twisted journey through the depths of frontman Andrew Eldritch's brooding mind. From the haunting opening track, "Dominion/Mother Russia," to the epic closer, "This Corrosion," this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that will have you reaching for your black eyeliner in no time.

Eldritch's vocals are as mesmerizing as ever, soaring above the atmospheric synths and pounding drums. The lyrics are as cryptic and poetic as ever, with songs like "Lucretia My Reflection" and "Flood I" painting vivid pictures of despair and longing. The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument and sound carefully layered to create a dense and otherworldly sonic palette.

But don't let the darkness fool you - there's an undeniable sense of fun and campiness throughout "Floodland." Tracks like "Driven Like The Snow" and "1959" have a playful energy that will have you dancing around your candlelit bedroom in your best vampire costume.

In conclusion, "Floodland" is a timeless classic that deserves a spot in every music lover's collection. Sisters of Mercy have truly outdone themselves with this album, and it's a must-listen for anyone who enjoys a good dose of spooky, theatrical rock music. So grab your leather jacket and your crucifix, because you're in for a wild ride with 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.
