WAITING FOR ANOTHER WAR

A History of The Sisters Of Mercy     Vol. I: 1980-1985


by Trevor Ristow



THE LONG AWAITED PAPERBACK HAS ARRIVED



The thrash of Motörhead. The mechanized anxiety of Suicide. The poignancy of Leonard Cohen. The arrogance of Bowie. The Sisters Of Mercy combined it all to create an unforgettable noise.

 

From 1980 to 1985 lead singer and master strategist Andrew Eldritch maneuvered The Sisters Of Mercy from the grimy pubs and student unions of Northern England to London’s storied Royal Albert Hall. 


Then the whole thing fell apart.

 

Based on original research and a thorough reading of hundreds of interviews, articles and reviews, Waiting For Another War  is a chronicle of The Sisters Of Mercy’s brilliant years from ‘The Damage Done’ to First And Last And Always.
