The Sisters of Mercy

Show & Culture

For over four decades, The Sisters of Mercy (TSOM) have been an iconic force in underground music: defining, defying and denying numerous subgenres of rock and roll. Their unique blend of punk-psychedelia, metal, dance beats and guttural growls has mesmerized the masses for several generations. Formed in Leeds in 1980, the band became a cult phenomenon with landmark releases such as Floodland (1987), featuring classics like “Dominion” and “This Corrosion,” followed by Vision Thing (1990). Their popularity and impact have only grown stronger over time. Recent live shows are praised as some of their best in years, combining timeless hits, acclaimed new material and a striking cinematic production.
