Description
The Sisters of Mercy "Floodland". The Sisters of Mercy emerged from the post-punk and indie scene of early 1980s in Leeds, and quickly defined a genre of music who’s pioneering influence can still be felt today. They also helped define Leeds at the time as the home of goth rock, spawning many imitators and singlehandedly creating a clearly defined and recognisable scene. Fronted by Andrew Eldritch and backed by his trusty drum machine Doktor Avalanche, The Sisters of Mercy formed their own independent Merciful Release label to issue a series of now rare and collectable singles and EPs.
At the end of their US tour in June 1985 the band took a break from music, to return in November 1987 with ‘Floodland’ (UK #9). Still aided by Doktor Avalanche, Eldritch hired former Gun Club and Fur Bible bassist Patricia Morrison to complete the new line-up. Featuring the now iconic hit singles ‘This Corrosion’ (UK #7), ‘Dominion’ (UK #13) and ‘Lucretia My Reflection’ (UK #20), production duties were shared with famed Meat Loaf writer Jim Steinman.
