Description
Setting the stage for goth’s burgeoning popularity in the mid-80’s, the Sisters of Mercy unleashed Floodland in ’87 to a rapturous response. A two-part anthem, “Dominion/Mother Russia,” kicks off this sonic odyssey that is equal parts terrifying and wondrous. Found within its roaring depths is producer Jim Steinman’s lush production and the captivating voices of the NY Choral Society. Followed by euphoric tracks like “Flood” and “1959,” and the elated “This Corrosion,” Sisters leader Andrew Eldritch (and bassist Patricia Morrison) have launched a black soundscape that’s as majestic as it is awe-inspiring. A darkly divine masterpiece.
