NEW SONGS!

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.

I feel like Ben has to know that posing for this picture is going to wind a load of people (including me!) up.

Nothing to "worry" about, I'd expect that Ben would make contacts for himself.
Or maybe a landing crew for upcoming/possible operation overload?

The way his tweet is written, it's either big news or high quality trolling...

I see no problem.
Maybe they met just like so and/or talked about Diamond Black issues as DB were discussing stuff in their weekly news
including the release of their first full album next year ... https://www.youtube.com/@DiamondBlack/videos ... :wink: ...

Good luck at that, btw ... :) ... sounds cool ... :) ...

Why on earth would this wind you or anyone up :?: and perhaps more to the point, why would it wind you or anyone up in a thread about new songs :?:

I think they meant wind up, in the sense "don't let this get your hopes up" ^_^

Also that "cover" is really very strange. Completely fabricated vocal line...

I feel like someone fed the live recording to one of those music generating AIs, wouldn't that explain the garbled lyrics and the art looks like ai too

Feels like it might be a gen-AI effort, the vocals especially remind me of the output from playing around with Suno

Can well be. Those lyrics are beyond any understanding of the original, a self-pitying complainer wrapped in sort of death metal roar ... :lol: :lol: ...

somewhat typical for the worst type of negative social media blah nowadays and more than double as long as the original of course ... :roll: :roll: :roll:

... Oh, the poor chaps ... sadly they are failed by all the healing in this song ... :( ...

Exaclty!
I doubt that AE, claiming he not g()th and has nothing to do with this, yet playing at g()th festival, while this label is ultra-g()th, it's a huge, enormous NO.

Trolling like it's 1997.

Yeah, Cleopatra Records, using the good name of The Sisters of Mercy to peddle disappointing versions of old songs to the unsuspecting public. Obviously some kind of money-grabbing scheme. I mean, who would ever do that? They’d also be caught out in a minute.
Nothing ventured, nothing lost
