Art Of Darkness

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.

Found this while looking through UTR

Is it a live bootleg? The band members don't make sense with the setlist.
I reverse image searched it but nothing came up.
if it is a live show it would have probably been during the overbombing 93 tour but I checked the setlist and none of them line up perfectly

any ideas?

Well as is written on the page ...it's a virtual release ... something that never happened, definitely.

Nice reminder, though ... :) ...

I wonder whose idea of a joke that was - the UTR crew, or Von

It's been a while so I may be misremembering but wasn't there (a not terribly good) issue of Underneath The Rock that was full of 'meaningless slogans'? Maybe it was part of that...

Absolutely. It's from UTX XII which was titled A SERIES OF SHOCK SLOGANS AND MINDLESS TOKEN TANTRUMS and had such texts in three lines of various font sizes ongoing at the bottom of all pages. The above one was on page 20.

It is such a pity because that title and that cover art would have been perfect for a mid-late 90s Sisters album, esp. one featuring "War on Drugs"

the booklet came free with "Christ..The Album" & is drummer Penny Rimbauds account of the death of the Sttonehenge Free Festival and the state-sponsored murder of activist Wally Hope. the actual title is a line dissing CRASS from right-wing british music journo-scum Gary Bushell who was instrumental in the rise of punk-rock spin-off-yet-antitheseis movement Oi!
