Dim candles, occult rites, red roses, blood filled chalices, ridiculous sunglasses: Sisters of Mercy.

Rivaling The Cure's self-pity and brooding, Sisters of Mercy are a pillar in the goth canon, and have stood as a high water mark for this particular brand of darkwave since the early 80s. Mind-blowing bass tone, deep crooning vocals, goth synth love, and expansive atmosphere make both of these LPs a must have for anyone who doesn't give a shit that the New York Times won't shut up about "goths" with pastel hair, and just wants to brood alone in the dark. Grab a bottle of blood red wine (at least one per person involved) and start with "Marian," you won't regret it.

  2. My mom's first name is Marianne. I haven't lissened to THAT in maaaaaaaaaaany years when I was gettn hit in the ass by the whorizontal and going down to where it's really dark. Wiseabove with me just for a second; break-out of our homo'BOMBa behavior...

    There's an alternative to everlasting misery: wanna wiseabove to Seventh-Heaven? Here's what you do: turn around 180°, turn away from the dark, and STOP following the whorizontal. Decide NOW. God bless you.

    Yes, I was a hardcore, lissening to GBH, MDC, DOA, Fear... yet, I knew that aint what God was calling me for. Know, grow, wiseabove. Meet me Upstairs. We'll have a blast.

      Q: what's the MOST important objective
      N our lifelong demise determined by us?
      A: achieving Seventh-Heaven: in the
      Great Beyond, everythang is possible.

      When our eternal soul leaves our body at death
      and we riseabove to meet our Maker,
      only four, last things remain:
      death, judgement, Heaven or Hell
      according to the deeds WEE mortals
      have done in our Finite Existence.
      Find-out what RCIA means and join.

      PS° I'm a re-boot NDE:
      if you're RIGHT,
      you'll see the LIGHT -
      follow that to the Elysian Fields.
      Let's be tethered2forever Upstairs.
