Scene News: The Sisters Of Mercy Announce Australian Tour

It howls. It’s grindingly beautiful. It’s dangerously sentient. It’s The Sisters of Mercyreturning to Australia this October and November for their first headline shows in over 7 years!

Propelled from the obsession with electronica but still a far distance from the machinations of the mainstream music of the time, the signature sound ofThe Sisters Of Mercycultivated a powerful mystique, creating some of the most influential rock music of the 1980s.

Led by the haunting voice and visual focus of founding band memberAndrew Eldritch, whose ingenious and self-proclaimed ‘superchargedindustrial psychedelia’ spawned a subculture of underground rock music that gained cult status and has since been cited as a major influence by the likes ofMetallica, Nine Inch NailsandMy Chemical Romance.

“aggressive, decadent, magnetic, metallic, and..downright operatic.”
