Product Description
Description
Long before Trent Reznor brought his brand of densely textured, hard-hitting Goth rock to the world, The Sisters Of Mercy were creating the mould with albums such as FLOODLAND. Here, front man Andrew Eldritch and company mix styles with a dark and gloomy palette. Songs are built with punishing and/or danceable drum machine tracks, guitars that alternately moan and crash, touches of '80s keyboards, and Eldritch's deeply resonant, undertaker voice, for a sound that made the Sisters one of the leading lights of the '80s Goth movement.
"Dominion/Mother Russia", the album's opener, presages industrial goth with its epic, thunderous rhythm track, wiry guitar lines and a chorus that treads that fine line between dance pop and death metal. Especially notable here is the inclusion of the band's best known single "This Corrosion", a multi-layered goth-pop gem held together by a eerie back-up choir and a driving dance beat. Though the stylistic focus ofthe album varies from the chilling piano balladry of "1959", to the battering ram, chamber-of-horrors hypnosis of "Lucretia My Reflection", FLOODLAND is probably the band's most cohesive and accessible album.
