Sisters Of Mercy – The Damage Done (1980)

December 2, 2024

Sister of Mercy’s first release centres around the single “The Damage Done” and its associated songs. It’s harsh, noisy post punk but again with that rigid drum machine backbone, which stops things from getting too chaotic. It’s pretty good for what it is, but it isn’t unique and is pretty nondescript. If anything it reminds me of Nick Cave’s first band, The Birthday Party.
