Paint My Name in Black and Gold : The Rise of the Sisters of Mercy
Sisters of Mercy - Book - by Mark Andrews
(2022)
Leeds,
1980. Amid the violence and decay, the city was home to an
extraordinarily vibrant post-punk scene. Out of that swamp crawled the
Sisters of Mercy.
Over
the next five years, they would rise from local heroes to leading
alternative band, before blowing apart on the verge of major rock
stardom. Their path was strewn with brilliant singles, astonishing EPs,
exceptional album tracks and legendary live shows. Two classic line-ups
were created and destroyed: Andrew Eldritch on vocals, Craig Adams on
bass, Gary Marx and Ben Gunn - later replaced by Wayne Hussey - on
guitars, and a drum machine called Doktor Avalanche.
Drawing
on dozens of interviews with band members and key figures in the
Sisters' journey, Paint My Name in Black and Gold is the most complete
account yet of how - against the odds and all reasonable expectation -
these young men came to make transcendent and life-changing music.
