The Sisters Of Mercy mainman Andrew Eldritch is one of rock’s more influential artists, even if he does hold much of what he’s influenced in contempt. Thanks to such dark-hued albums as 1985’s First And Last And Always and 1987’s Floodland, the Sisters Of Mercy have been held up as poster boys for the entire goth movement – much to Eldritch’s chagrin.
An aversion to the music industry has meant the band haven’t released a studio album since 1991, although they still tour regularly, and they are playing two London shows in May 2025 as part of their Two Wires Read tour.
