I spent a lot of time not giving The Sisters of Mercy a chance. I kept hearing about them, but then would get distracted by some other band or just stick with what I already knew. But when I finally did, I started here with "This Corrosion." I think I started there because I saw an interview with Patricia Morrison and they played it. Regardless, I fell in love with the sound.
I cannot stress just how much I love male vocalists with deep baritone voices. It is a weakness. Jim Morrison, Ian Curtis, Peter Murphy, and now Andrew Eldritch. But, unlike with the other examples I used, during this period of the band's history, The Sisters of Mercy were also using the high female backing vocals. It's a nice contrast, I think.
Not to mention I think the music video is really sexy.
Hey now, hey now now, sing this corrosion to me.
