The Sisters of Mercy Confirmed for Germany's Battle of Metal

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.

It's an extremely METAL line up. Will the Sisters fit in? Could be good fun and it's not too dear at only 63 euros. Fingers crossed they're playing on a Saturday. Black metal bands make me laugh, even more than goth bands.

matt..

Ooooh, less than a 90min drive for me, so an initial :P ...until on the FAQs:

Q: Will there be day tickets again in 2007?

A: There will only be festival tickets for the full period from July 5 - 7, 2007.

€ 63,00 (£42.00) to catch a one hour set at the end of the night after standing in a field all day is just a tad too steep for someone just wanting to just see The Girls. *sigh*

But obviously if they announce it's a showcase gig to promote the new studio album released the week before, I may be persuaded ... :innocent:

.....or deluded ;D

Me ? I'm too far away but would have gone quite happily had I been nearer. It's not a bad place to see such an engaging band and if there is a new studio album out then all the better.

Right. That's Satyricon discussed then......did somebody say the Sissies were on too ? :lol: :lol:

this is surely the least fitting headliner for that line-up. What is he expecting other than flying beer-bottles?
Put their heads on f*cking pikes in front of the venue for all I care.

Maybe that's what Von wants. :von:

Or maybe they'll play the new album's kickass metal tracks, beat all the other bands to the ground and leave them for dead. :twisted:

", it gave rumors over a new album" which we here also as rumor to stay lets. Which however no rumor is: the cult volume "The Sisters OF Mercy" will honour hostage wind the open air with a Live one show. Further information already soon under the menu option of volume.

Interesting. Maybe he will grow back his hair for this one and play a metal-set. Kicking off with More, finally! But he'll also need to be more drunk than usually these days and do a more '92-type performance.

i don't know what Satyricon has been up to for the last 10 years but seeing them on the same bill with Sisters is really weird...maybe i should travel farther for Sisters gig this year. Though probably they've little to do now with what they were in the early 90s.

That´s a good question. Geiselwind is in the middle of nowhere. Nürnberg or Regensburg, roughly speaking.
