This made my day. I think you’re the first reactors to do Sisters of Mercy. Sisters of Mercy are one of my favourite bands and I was a Goth back in the 80’s. Some of their other songs worth listening too are Temple of Love, Alice, Marian, No time to Cry and Dominion

[@redglass77]

One thing I’ve always loved about Sisters Of Mercy is you can pull any song from their library and it fits perfectly into a movie soundtrack. Opening credits , end scene, either way their sound is always epic and their story telling is perfectly visual.

[@galacticsurvivorvainamoine5823]

At 18 years old, I took the Black Planet cassette to basic training and listened to it every night at lights out. 10 years later, "Temple of Love" was my wedding song. That said, "Alice" is my favorite song from these guys. Don't skip out on their amazing catalog.

[@uris77]

SISTERRRRSSSSS!!!!!! Glad to see someone react to them. They take me way back.

[@dave9732]

I have danced in the goth clubs to this song more times than I can remember. A staple in goth clubs.

[@icekaps1415]

If you liked this song you should hear the full version of it just for your own enjoyment. The video you watched jumps into the song about a minute or so after its actual beginning and ends (suddenly, as you saw) with about 3 minutes left. The full version is over 9 minutes long. A unique song and IMO one of the best of the decade.

[@_Shadoh_]

Yeah, hurts how the song was chopped into pieces 😒

[@icekaps1415]

@@_Shadoh_ I had to listen to the WHOLE song again after watching the video because this version didn't sit well in my head.

[@RockDawg77]

Which bands before SOM were releasing the longer full length version of songs on eps, etc. Simple Minds had a lot of incredible remixes, usually on imports. The Cult had some great different and longer takes on album stuff. Had to be others, but SOM was definitely one of the first to perfect it. IMO.

[@artemusprine]

I thought that had to be an extended mix... Or maybe "the band" really did lose track of time on it. "Turn, cold, burn, like a healing hand" is the best line and they didn't even get to it!

[@Prettyphile]

The song was meant as a slap at The Mission - "Its about the idiots, full of sound and furry, who stampede around this world signifying nothing. Its about people who sing about the revolution while selling it short, about people who sing about the corrosion of things while they themselves are falling apart. People who miss the point....Its also stupidly over the top bombastic, but rightly so" Andrew Eldritch, Sounds (Sep 1987) But really Eldritch had a more direct target in mind. After it took Hussey & Adams two months to work out that "Jihad" was aimed at them, Eldritch felt he needed to produce a more obvious "fuck you" with the group's signature satirical edge clearly slashing at those who has betrayed him. Lines Like: Sing this Corrosion to Me implying that The Mission sound is a corrupted copy of The Sisters of Mercy. For more info look up "The Smirking Revenge of The Sisters of Mercy & THIS CORROSION | New British Canon"

[@billdecat855]

[@chernobyl68]

While "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is nice and all that, there are far better tracks for one's Bauhuas initiation, for example: She's in Parties The Passion of Lovers All We Ever Wanted Was Everything The Man With the X-Ray Eyes Stigmata Martyr Hair of the Dog Spirit King Volcano Hope

The Sisters of Mercy were relatively late to the game, at least in terms of producing record albums. Hell, Bauhaus had disbanded two years before the Sisters released their debut album. Granted, the Sisters formed in 1980, but still. . . .

[@hmpz36911]

There are very few perfect songs, and this is one of them. The level of pettiness that inspired this track is LEGENDARY

[@MrQuabs]

Hi, im doing a presentation on the 4 biggest goths for school, i cant find what inspired it, can you explain it please?

[@MattBlackbike]

@@MrQuabs The Sisters of Mercy were a popular English goth band who did very well in the UK between 1984 and 1993. In 1985, tensions in the band led to their split, with bass player Craig Adams and guitarist Wayne Hussey leaving to form The Mission. The Sisters Of Mercy leader Andrew Eldritch re-formed the band in 1987, without Adams and Hussey. This song takes a stab at the departed pair, with lines like "Sing this corrosion to me" and "Selling the don't belong," indicating that Eldritch considered The Mission's sound to be a copy - or corrosive version - of The Sisters Of Mercy.

[@MendezPalmira]

Finally!!! Now all we need is for B&L to do the full length version of A Forest by The Cure and we will be golden.

This is a good intro song into Sisters for sure. Lucretia My Reflection and Temple of Love are great follow ups. It's cool you heard Type O Negative in it as I'm pretty confident Sisters would have been a big influence on them.

[@chestrockwell8328]

I only barely remember this song, the chores. Having listened to it again just now sounds like a David Bowie wanna be doing a song that was originally written for the Pointer Sisters. However, the movie Atomic Blonde some how captured the vibe of this song, therefore I dig it.

Great point about the low pitches... I used to listen to them on cassette, in my car, in the winter... So it was nothing but mid-range. But for some reason this band still works even if all you're hearing are the mids. And some of their early stuff is mostly middle of the EQ.

[@jkbezo1]

Sisters of Mercy? Many great songs and videos from them. Nice, welcome to the underground Lex and Brad ! :-) Gothic rock, darkwave (dark new wave), dance-punk/post-punk music. This type of music had dark vibes and ethereal sounding guitars, vocals and synthesizers. This genre usually sang like Jim Morrison from The Doors, deep and creepy, you guys are right. Alternative rock of the '80s! Music you only hear on college/alternative radio stations back then and videos on 120 Minutes (MTV) show that showed alt music videos in the '80s and '90s. Played at many goth and underground clubs dance music for vampires, goths, alternatives, new wavers, freaks and punks? jaja Yes Type O Negative, Marilyn Manson, NIN, and others influenced by these bands. Danced to this at clubs back in the 90s and many sexy ladies dressed in gothic/punk wear and colored hair. I can smell the clove cigarettes in the air. I ended up marrying one jaja and had kids. Oh no! The song was cut too short oh well. Thanks for playing it though! Lex and Brad liked it. Bands to check out in this genre: Clan Of Xymox, Sioxsee and the Banshees, The Cure, The Cult (early albums), Echo and the Bunnymen, The Charmeleons, Killing Joke, Cocteau Twins, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, Depeche Mode, Fields of Nephilim, Love and Rockets, Christian Death, And Also the Trees, Frozen Autumn ('90s/'00s) , The Cramps, Bauhuas, Faith and the Muse ('90s/'00s) Soft Cell, Peter Murphy, and a lot more.

Sisters of Mercy are gothic rock band,associated with The Sisterhood,the Mission,SSV,Ghost Dance,the March Violets… Andrew Eldritch,the leader of the band spent some time in Germany(Berlin) in a same time as Bowie and Leonard Cohen, as jurnalist…He studied French and German literature at the University of Oxford before moving to Leeds around 1978 to study Mandarin Chinese at the University of Leeds: he left both courses before graduating. He speaks fluent French and German and has some knowledge of Dutch, Italian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and Latin!

Saw them in Vegas back in 2006 I believe it was. Was a bucket list show for sure.

[@13_13k]

I saw them when they played in Los Angeles back in the late 80s maybe early 90s. Still one of my favorite bands today.

LUCRETIA!!!!

So glad you did this song but bummed this video chopped off that last 20% which is my favorite part of the song. If you want to check out this scene live, you really need to go to The Castle on Ybor on a Saturday night. It used to be one of my favorite places to go in Tampa. They actually play This Corrosion in the downstairs outside dance area pretty regularly. That area is where they play old school goth. The upstairs main room is more current stuff. I miss that place alot.

It's a shame it wasn't the album version with the beginning chorus.

[@timcliffsmith]

TBF, this song is a stone-cold banger. Also, just watch Rocky Horror again and react to it. One of the best things ever made.

Flood II will forever and always be my favorite Sisters song

[@harlanmonk569]

Sounds like the love child of The Cure and Talking Heads with a sprinkle of Marilyn Manson.Cool.

[@adammclennan5213]

Great memories from that time! It reminds me of another song by the band Underworld called Underneath the radar. Mainly because it was around the same time.

I give thanks to the movie The World's End and this song playing the credits for getting me into Sisters of Mercy, but my favorite song from them turned out to be "Temple of Love"!

[@KelsaRavenlock]

"Ribbons" is a song by them you should really react to.

[@alexwaeytens8390]

Later live versions though.. Actually most of their most recent live remakes of classics.. I'm so happy I was at the only ever live version of "good things" in Tienen

[@heathcornbeef]

Nothing to add Chur chur every one as pretty much nailed it ✌️👍

[@atldawn2]

You guys should definitely hit up The Castle in Ybor City! It’s a goth club that’s been open since the mid 90s. Danced to this song many a nights there.🖤

[@jonathangibson3578]

Hell, even I've been to The Castle, and I live in Canada! The Castle is legit.

[@SteveOpstad]

The Sisters! Now we talkin'! I love all genres and eras, tons of music, yet the Sisters of Mercy still remain in regular rotation in my car. Still sounds as good as it did 30+ years ago. Andrew's voice is timeless... as one might expect. 🖤🧛🖤

[@Marqu1sALew1s]

Nice! Heard them on the sound system of the music store back in my day. Instantly my fav band, still are. Consider: "Floodland", "Neverland" (a fragment)-very dark and mysterious, their cover of "Gimme Shelter" and "Adrenochrome".

[@averagegoth]

There’s so much goth bands I’d recommend like Sextile, Lebanon Hanover, She Past Away. Those are just three out of the many bands I know and love
