Dark Reign

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Just to compound Von's doubtless misery over the Classic Rock Magazine article "None More Black", the Sisters feature heavily in Dave Thompson's new book
"The Dark Reign of Gothic Rock: In The Reptile House with The Sisters Of Mercy, Bauhaus, and The Cure".
Nice photgraph on the cover of Von and Wayne circa '84.

;D :von: :eek: :oops:


But at this point in the Sisters' career I can't help thinking any publicity has got to be better than none.

got this book today.
the first things i noticed (and disappointed me) - why there is only one picture of The Sisters on the plates (in the same time for example 2 of The Nephilim) and when will people learn to write "THE Sisters Of Mercy" - i mean the chronology in the end of the book -
in the main text there is the correct name of the band.
but generally this book seems to be quite OK (sorry, have read maybe only 6-7 pages from different chapters by now).
seems to be quite objective and informative.
and the chronology of events, sessions and record releases (despite of this i said) is a great thing IMHO :notworthy:
well, it's only a paperback but it seems to be a good paperback.
(hope, it will not disappoint me after reading through.)

To reiterate the above - as the learned Pikkrong has mentioned - I REALLY hate to see "The" missing from anything in print about THE Sisters of Mercy - it really "Irks" me.

Next we will have to put up with just 'Cure / M****** / Strokes / Velvet Underground / Doors etc etc'

Or will it go full circle - The Pink Floyd - The Motorhead - The Type O Negative *shakes head in frustration*
