The Sisters of Mercy

The Sisters of Mercy are an English rock band formed in 1980, associated with a dark, atmospheric strand of post-punk and gothic rock. Fronted by singer Andrew Eldritch, the group is recognizable for its deep baritone vocals, drum-machine-driven rhythms, reverb-heavy guitars and synth textures that create a brooding, cinematic sound and stark visual aesthetic. They are often cited as an influential presence within the goth and alternative rock milieu.
