Review: The Sisters Of Mercy's enduring album Floodland presents an 80s throwback; this was a time in which many bands were experimenting with gothic and shadowy musical and visual themes, and the Sisters were no exception, having been progenitors of this trend in their native Leeds since as early on as 1980, only shortly after the term "gothic rock" was coined. Floodland followed a much-mythologised tour fallout in June 1985, after which the band effectively split up; dusting themselves off, and/or rising from resurrective Transylvanian mists, they soon returned with Floodland in 1987, albeit with a revised lineup. Still aided by the trusty Doktor Avalanche, lead brain Eldritch would this time hire former Gun Club and Fur Bible bassist Patricia Morrison for performance duties; packing the hit singles 'This Corrosion', 'Dominion' and 'Lucretia My Reflection', this is a caliginous cascade of doomy sound, tempered by both lonely moments of piano catalepsy and high moments of hellish hysteria.
