Has anyone else noticed the similarity between David Bowie’s Golden Years and The Sisters Of Mercy’s Afterhours?
The studio effect and way Andrew Eldritch says the word “angel� in Afterhours is a direct copy of the way David Bowie says the word “angel� in Golden Years.
I guess you could call it an allusion to Golden Years, but why would Von referance this song? Perhaps he just liked the sound of the studio effect.

Yes. But this time more so.

I think the influence is strongly apparent at times, though other times I don't hear any resemblence at all.

I would not call it copying, well maybe in this case he does. I'd rather say that
is influenced.
