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.

He's been trying to associate himself with metal/hard rock for quite some time now in his neverending attempts to break the band beyond their typecasting, and that's all fine and well but I say give it a rest already. I like metal and hard rock too since it also was the music of my youth, but I would find it just as tiresome if, say AC/DC and Motley Crue were to constantly say "we're not a hard rock/metal band" and tried to align themselves with goth/alternative.

I've loved the Sisters for the longest time and liked Von but :roll:

Sisters headlining a metal festival? Oh dear.

I'm looking forward to see Manowar as a headliner for M'era Luna next year then.

If I ever had any doubt about going to see M'era Luna, that would erase it. ;D

my friend, Subway To Sally was awful enough at M'era Luna in 2005 but I still enjoyed Sisters and Deine Lakaien as well.

True. I forgot that. But still.. Having Sisters headlining a metal festival? Strange choice, I daresay.

It would be hilarious to see how the goth crowd would react to a song like Hail And Kill :lol:

Give them Carry On, Defender and the Funeral March section of Achilles, Agony And Ecstasy (In Eight Parts), they'll be happy.

The only real concern is - how early one must start making ones way towards the front row, and how many (and what kind of) people one is to come past by, and in what way.
