Sisters of mercy - This Corrosion origonal REMIX

The Sisters of Mercy were a popular English Goth band who did very well in the UK between 1984 and 1993. In 1985, tensions in the band led to their split, with bass player Craig Adams and guitarist Wayne Hussey leaving to form The Mission. Sisters Of Mercy leader Andrew Eldritch re-formed the band in 1987, without Adams and Hussey. This song takes a stab at Adams and Hussey, with lines like "Sing this corrosion to me" and "Selling the don't belong" indicating that Eldritch considered The Mission's sound to be a copy or corrosive version of The Sister Of Mercy. (thanks, gothstar - Cr, England)
Eldritch wrote this in 1986, and was going to release it as a single from his band Sisterhood, but they waited a year and released it as The Sisters Of Mercy.
Jim Steinman produced this. He used the 40-piece New York Chorale Society to get a grand sound. Steinman worked on all of Meat Loaf's hits as well as "Holding Out For A Hero" and "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" for Bonnie Tyler.
The Mission went on to have a successful chart career in the UK, with hitsingles like "Wasteland," "Tower of Strength" and "Butterfly On A Wheel."

you don't understand how easy it is to delete the comments. im sure you have a lot of lovely things to say but is it nessesary to leave them as comments to be deleted seconds later? if you have that much to say feel free to send me a message. Rants are good for many things but if you cant see the waist of life it is to write all that for me to delete in then you need to put yourself in check.

Interesting choice of photo, as two of them hadn't been in the band for three or four years when this came out.

if thats a compliment, thanks. if thats an elitist condescending remark... fuck off and enjoy music.

[saintmirrenmalky]

Agreed. I love The Sisters of Mercy, and I love The Mission. For me, there is no conflict.

@nefhead I know that. They were ALSO a tribe originating from Germany. And watch your language, dude. I meant no harm. Didn't anyone tell you that if someone does nothing wrong, they need not be cursed out? Learn some manners before you reply to this, my friend.
