The Sisters of Mercy

Summary

The Sisters of Mercy are an English rock band formed in Leeds in 1980. After achieving early underground fame, the band experienced a commercial breakthrough in the mid-1980s, sustaining their success until the early 1990s, when they halted the release of new records in protest against their record company, WEA. Although the band operates primarily as a touring outfit today, they continue to perform new and unreleased music live.
