Tracing The Sisters of Mercy's musical career

The Sisters of Mercy began as a collaboration between frontman Andrew Eldritch and Gary Max in 1980.They released their first studio album, First, Last and Always, in March 1985. The album reached the number 14 spot on the UK Album charts and within four years, it sold more than 100,00 copies.

Following their first album, The Sisters of Mercy split in 1986, due to differences between the members. The original lineup performed a final show together as a farewell to their fanbase, which was later released on video as Wake.

Following their split, former members of the band Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams formed the goth-rock band The Mission later that year.

The Sisters of Mercy gained prominence with their next album, Floodlands, released in November 1987. This marked a departure from the earlier soundscape of the band to a more atmospheric soundscape. Andrew Eldritch inducted Patricia Morrison of Fur Bible as the bassist and produced it alongside Larry Alexander.

The album was accompanied by a music video shot at a cotton mill in Mumbai, India by director Peter Sinclair.

The album sold more than 250,000 copies and reached the number 9 spot on the UK Album Charts.

The Sisters of Mercy returned to the music scene years later with several tours in early 2000s, with guest appearances by Irish singer-songwriter Lisa Cuthbert.
