A Brief Overview
The Sisters of Mercy are a rock band that came out of the British post punk scene in 1980-1981.
The band cited Leonard Cohen, The Stooges, Suicide and Motörhead as among their influences. The group has made only three original studio albums, of which the last was released in 1990.
Currently, the band is kept alive as a touring outfit only. The only original member to survive the band's numerous lineup changes is singer and songwriter Andrew Eldritch (even Doktor Avalanche, the drum-machine, is not an original member). All of the original members had left the group by 1985.
The band is one of the most popular and influential among the gothic rock scene, although since the 1980s they have tried to disassociate themselves from that scene.
