Heilung

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

I saw them a while back in DC. Absolutely amazing show.

Indeed an experience it was.
That was something quite different than what people expect from a concert.
And with people travel around countries to experience it again. There were people from Spain, a huge bulk of fans from Germany and Denmark, a few Italians and more around the globe.
Not a pause, 1h 54 minutes continuesly.
And the sound was excellent!
It was like living inside a dream for that time.

I got puzzled a bit because reading the terms "Iesus" and "Heilung" (which means "Healing", or "Cure" in German) in a Sisters of Mercy Forum burned a few synapses and popped up quite a multitude of layers of strange connotations to me.

No, sir, I don't want to talk to you about God right now. I'm practising atheism.

Anyway; they ("Heilung", the band) remind me a bit of the early Virgin Prunes...

Interesting, now you made me curious about the early Virgin Prunes :)

Otherwise like Bernard in Black Books...

Might be that the sense of similarities is just me, but some of the clips reminded me of songs from Virgin Prunes' first album, like Theme for Thought or Ulakanakulot (if you want to look for some specific songs).

I stand corrected as far as my atheism is concerned; the mere existence of tax regulations is the proof of the presence of evil on this earth, and how far it's tentacles of doom have already permeated our daily life ... :twisted:

I don't see a Virgin Prunes connection myself, but Dead Can Dance no longer full the world music gap as well as they once did for me. 😂
