The Sisters of Mercy are one of the most iconic Goth groups of all time. Despite not releasing an album since 1990's 'Vision Thing,' they retain a devoted fanbase, as evidenced by the rapturous acclaim of their 2023 North American tour, which saw them play hits like 'This Corrosion' along with deep cuts, and new material. And now the band are preparing to return to the U.S. and Canada with a Fall 2024 tour.
On this week's episode I talk to band guitarist Ben Christo to discuss what fans can expect on the setlist, why the band are in no hurry to release a new album, the band's songwriting process (they continue to write songs, but only perform them live), their enduring appeal, and more.
So check out the episode, and visit the bands website https://www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com/ for tour dates and more.
