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 dunno what you think about this woman, but i simply love her style, her music, her voice, the lyrics, her presence in the stage.. well.. everything.

I'm really happy to know that 2 double album releases out December 1.

"Defixiones, Will and Testament"
"La Serpenta Canta"

I'm anxious to see her concert again.... :notworthy: :notworthy:

I saw her on The Tube (for those overseas readers- It's a music show) in around 1984. She looked like Nina Hagen with bigger hair and she didn't sing, she just screamed and screamed. Truly awful, quite scary too!

In that time of course she just screamed. But try to listen now. She don't scream anymore, she has a beautiful voice, very powerful.

I've seen her twice; once on the Malediction and Prayer tour and once on the Defixiones, Will and Testament one. Really powerful performances.

This is a good summary, I think:

I only saw her in Defixiones, Will and Testament tour.
About Malediction and Prayer i just have the cd of that tour wich has one of my favourites musics "Abel et Cain" which lyric is a poem from one of my favourite poets (besides François Serpent ;) ) Charles Baudelaire.

if I am not mistaken, and in this occasion I am not, she made an album with John Paul Jones ex Zeppelin, within the last 4 years.

anyone know what it sounds like?

That would be 'The Sporting Life' which came out in '94/'95 and some of it is a rather standard rock album with a smattering of the blues. Galas tames herself down and nearly sounds like a demonic Bette Midler on "Do You Take This Man", otherwise....vocally, it's what one would expect from her.
