The Sisters Of Mercy

1980–1985, 1987–presentUKPost-Punk/Goth/New Wave

Their drummer was a machine called Doktor Avalanche, and Andrew Eldritch's deep, sepulchral baritone loomed over its relentless pounding, making the Sisters of Mercy one of goth's defining bands, a label Eldritch has always rejected.

First and Last and Always paired chiming, echoing guitars with Eldritch's bleak romanticism, and after guitarist Wayne Hussey left to form the Mission, Jim Steinman's bombastic production on Floodland turned 'This Corrosion' into a choir-backed epic.

Since Vision Thing in 1990 they have released no further studio album, but Eldritch keeps touring and debuting new songs onstage.
