The Sisters of Mercy are a British gothic rock band that emerged from the post-punk scene in the late 1970s. Founded in Leeds in 1980 by Andrew Eldritch (vocals), the group has undergone several lineup changes throughout its history, with Paul Hession (guitar) and Wayne Hussey (guitar) among the longest-serving members. Their sound, characterized by dark atmospheres, sinister melodies, and introspective lyrics, quickly propelled them into the British goth underground. In the mid-1980s, The Sisters of Mercy achieved significant commercial success with albums like *First and Last and Always* (1985) and *Vision Thing* (1987), which introduced their sound to a wider audience. Tracks such as «Temple of Love», «This Corrosion» and «Lucretia My Reflection» became classics of the gothic rock genre. After a series of disagreements with their record label, the group ceased releasing new material in 1990. Although they have had periods of inactivity, The Sisters of Mercy returned to live performances in the 1990s and have continued to record music sporadically. Their last studio album is *Floodland* (1987).
