During my dark youth, I was very big fan of The Sisters Of Mercy’s 1981/88 era (« Floodland » included). At UPR we have always hesitated to pay tribute to this cult band from Leeds/UK, because it always seemed difficult to me to interpret the fabulous songs of the british acid rock gang, without falling into the ‘gothic cliché’ or poor copycat. But 40 years after the band's first concert in the north of England it's high time to pay them a true artistic ambitious homage. With the well-known requirement that is that of our label, we prepared an awesome CD compilation called 'HONORIS II THE SISTERS OF MERCY & THE SISTERHOOD' for the end of September. This Tribute will be accompanied by a very special limited tape and book designed & printed by the spanish label Industrial Complexx (Valencia). For vinyl collectors, know that the Oràculo label (Barcelona) is releasing also a vinyl version with 6 tracks taken from our compilation (12" + 7"), lauching pre-orders at the end of July. Many excellent musicians responded to our call, some legendary bands and talented outsider. There are already many international tributes to The Sisters Of Mercy, but by my standards they often sound pretty mediocre and below the original songs. My objective is therefore to bring together very awesome covers that will give thanks to the legacy of the original Andrew Eldritch’s songs, without caricatures or baroque clichés (fans know that Andrew hates the “goth” label), and by focusing especially on the early songs and B faces.The Sisters Of Mercy began their careers 40 years ago.
Long life to Andrew Eldritch!

Both Eldritch and James Ray (who sang on the original Sisterhood version) have disowned this song, but I can't understand why. I think it's a great song, stronger than some of the Floodland album tracks
Absolutely right. We feel the same way, but broken hearts speak their own language. We just thought it was time to find peace. With all the pain and all the crap that has passed. We found ourselves again with this song
Just this particular song? Why? I get that The Sisterhood project was created out of spite so Adams and Hussey wouldn't use that name for their new band. But at the same time it's a solid EP on its own merit. On a different note, what is the deal with band names? Do you need to trademark the name or is it done by default according to the "first come, first served" rule? I mean there are 18 metal bands named Leviathan, seven of them in the US alone. Why couldn't Adams and Hussey use the name The Sisterhood anyway?
@@ZombieDragQueen You have to register the name as a trademark to protect it. A guy I used to know (sadly deceased) was careful about registering the name of his band Altered States, and on at least one occasion had to prevent someone else using the same name.
Quelle belle version de l’un des plus grands morceaux des Sisters 🖤
Brutal!!!!!👏👏🖤🖤💯👌🖤🖤
Thank you honey!
Thrills like waves!

A Wedding Anniversary still rules!

I Hope that this track announces a new album 🙏🏻
Love it and Sisters of Mercy will always be my favorite band no1.
This song is beautiful 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Yes 🥰😍
This one is from Sisterhood... after Sisters broke up... I love them both and I have all these on vinil and cd... I prefer the original but this made me remember... the voice and tone of the Gift version much better
@@sergiolopes6126 You are right. Our approach is more conciliatory than the original... but that's because of our history and what we want to make out of it ;-)
@@aweddinganniversary8456 Thank you for your answer. Congrats on your musical work and, PLEASE, keep doing great music. The world is much better because of music. Cheers!
@@sergiolopes6126 We'll do with pleasure! Thanks for your beautiful mind and your interest!
Lovely!
Would you mind defining "Lovely"? :-*
@@aweddinganniversary8456 I love the original song but damn this cover is very updated and interesting! I loved the synths combined with 80's gothic rock sound,a mix of modern and oldschool elements that stick to the feeling of the original song (not as a copy but in a unique way). 🖤
@@korina7622 Thank you very much for your kind words and precise description!
marvellous cover !!!!
:-*
Muito bom o som dos caras e ainda mais os riffs da guitarra estalando os ouvidos 🎉
Awesome sometimes sounds like Peter Murphy. 💜
True!

Excelente versión, merecido tributo!
Thank you VERY much!
Excellent cover 🖤
Thank you kindly!
I just discovered this song and I'm now, as we speak, listening to the original. This is such a revamp, such an improvement! All at once, the full potential of the song comes to light. I hope more versions will follow; it would sound great in gothic metal, for example.
Thank you very much! We had dared to try. A free approach that respects the DNA of the song and yet exposes the potential that the creators didn't want to use for various reasons. Just have fun with it and... Andrew, sorry, we couldn't help it
No leave the metal where it belongs.
Yes/////
Yes .... why? .... but yes!!! thank you!
Astonishing ❦︎
