The Sisters Of Mercy
Contact
It howls, it's grindingly beautiful, and it's probably heading your way.
New and hence unreleased songs make up half of any Sisters set these days, although the classics get a good thrashing in rotation. Having derived their light show from the Big Bang (gleefully inventing rave lighting in the process), the Sisters see no reason to tone it down, and will be exploding in all their usual glory at the next suitable opportunity.
Metal Hammer: [the Sisters are...] "a lean glittering groove machine for the new millennium, leaving the sullenly anachronistic reformations of their contemporaries far behind."
The Sisters Of Mercy are
Andrew Eldritch: vocals
Ben Christo: guitar and backing vocals
Dylan Smith: guitar and backing vocals
Ravey Davey: nurse to the Doktor
Doktor Avalanche: drums etc
