Step back into the mid-’80s, a pivotal time for goth music, with the Sisters of Mercy and their groundbreaking album, Floodland. Released in 1987, this iconic record showcases the band’s return with a powerful sound and rich production. Led by Andrew Eldritch and featuring bassist Patricia Morrison, the album opens with the driving anthem ‘Dominion/Mother Russia’, setting the stage for a mesmerizing auditory journey.
Unlike their earlier, more abrasive works, Floodland is a masterclass in lush soundscapes, thanks to the collaboration with renowned producer Jim Steinman and the New York Choral Society. Ethereal tracks like ‘Flood’ and ‘1959’ exemplify the best of goth music, while the majestic ‘This Corrosion’ stands as a hallmark of the genre. This album is not just a collection of songs; it’s a milestone that every music lover should own.
