the next lucretia cover

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.

Ok so since there's so much speculation about what Sisters song it's going to be I have to let the cat out of the bag, every song on that record is great but Lucretia has always been my favorite, Dominion being a close second. Anyone that knows me knows that I have always loved old school goth, "nu goth" is kind of boring. Matt Wicklund did a great job of making Lucretia METAL

Warrel Dane is the singer of a band called Nevermore - never heared of them before.

I'm not sure why people bother. :|

If I see any Hot Chocolate fans who think the Sisters are a pile of unadulterated wank, I'll be sure to send them your way. :roll:

Oh, but of course, it'll be different...

Nevermore are actually really good, and pretty unique as far as metal goes. They have absolutely nothing in common with the HIM/Paradise Lost/Tiamat/etc. goff-pop-metal nonsense. They're probably the heaviest band going with a clean (singing, not growling/screaming) vocalist. Their guitar player is fantastic, as is their drummer. I've seen 'em live back in my more metal days. They did a Bauhaus cover years ago; I forget what song.

Mr. Dane is a good singer, but an aquired taste. He has a penchant for really odd melody lines and dissonance.

Never. EVER. Use HIM, PL and Tiamat in one sentence. HIM is nu goff-pop-metal-wank.

Paradise Lost and Tiamat were two of the best doom-bands around and they grew up. Sort of. PL for worse, Tiamat for the better.

Now there. Next up, calling Katatonia Emo-rock? :twisted:

Really? Judas Christ is terrible, can't imagine a greater disappointment after the decent Skeletron and utterly sublime Deeper Kind Of Slumber. Or are you referring to their earlier stuff Iz, in which case I couldn't possibly comment having heard not a note. Got me in the mood now though, Slumber is the first cd on when I get home 8) :notworthy:

Nup. Clouds and The Astral Sleep were rather uninteresting, even for a doom lover as myself. Could not stand his voice.

Then The Sleeping Beauty EP emerged and all was good ;D

Have to agree that A Deeper Kinda Slumber is their best of the 'new era', but the others are as sublime as they are simple.

A bit like You Could Be The One really...

I was gonna say- are you really trying to suggest that Judas Christ is a good record? :lol: I like Wildhoney/DKOS/Skeletron as far as Tiamat is concerned. Huge Sisters influence on Skeletron, though I have to admit, Brighter Than The Sun is probably the best Sisters knockoff I've heard.

Older Paradise Lost is alright, though not my favorite. I prefer My Dying Bride and Anathema if we're talking British doom. I'm not a fan after One Second, which I have to admit I enjoyed.

And I like Katatonia quite a bit.

I suppose if I have to make a broad generalization like that I'll pick on Within Temptation or someone like that who doesn't have a quality back catalog to prop themselves up on. ;D

there was a leicester band called Grumble Grinder which featured a half-decent rythm section and two of the ugliest others in the whole cosmos.

a 12" of their's had the unlistenable and unforgiveable rendering of lucretia which they had murdered with extreme prejudice and little redeemable brevity.

i got my hands on a box-ful of said 12 " and had snapped a good 3/4 in half before they noticed. :innocent:
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.

"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
