The Sisters Of Mercy - A Merciful Release
Review by Olamide Alowooja
A Merciful Release by Sisters of Mercy is an iconic album that showcases the band's unique blend of gothic rock and post-punk. Released in 1987, it features some of their most memorable tracks, including "Dominion/Mother Russia" and "Lucretia My Reflection."
The album's dark and brooding atmosphere is established right from the opening track, "First and Last and Always," which sets the tone for the rest of the record. Andrew Eldritch's deep and commanding vocals are perfectly complemented by the haunting guitar riffs and atmospheric synths, creating a sound that is both eerie and mesmerizing.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dominion/Mother Russia," which features a catchy chorus and a driving beat that is impossible not to dance to. "Lucretia My Reflection" is another highlight, with its memorable hook and powerful lyrics.
