The Sisters of Mercy sono un gruppo musicale britannico di genere gothic rock, emersi dalla scena post-punk alla fine degli anni '70. Fondati a Leeds nel 1980 da Andrew Eldritch (voce), il gruppo ha subito diverse formazioni nel corso della sua storia, con Paul Hession (chitarra) e Wayne Hussey (chitarra) tra i membri più longevi. Il loro sound, caratterizzato da atmosfere cupe, melodie sinistre e testi introspettivi, li ha rapidamente catapultati nell'underground goth britannico. A metà degli anni '80, The Sisters of Mercy hanno raggiunto un successo commerciale significativo con album come *First and Last and Always* (1985) e *Vision Thing* (1987), che hanno introdotto il loro sound a un pubblico più ampio. Brani come «Temple of Love», «This Corrosion» e «Lucretia My Reflection» sono diventati classici del genere gothic rock. Dopo una serie di contrasti con la casa discografica, il gruppo ha cessato le pubblicazioni nel 1990. Sebbene abbiano avuto periodi di inattività, The Sisters of Mercy sono tornati a esibirsi dal vivo negli anni '90 e hanno continuato a registrare musica sporadicamente. Il loro ultimo album in studio è *Floodland* (1987).

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
