The Sisters of Mercy Look Back On Four Decades of Music at Their Concert at Sala Auditorio Roig Arena

Legendary British band The Sisters of Mercy, one of the most influential names to emerge from the post-punk scene and closely associated with the gothic rock of the 1980s, performed tonight at Sala Auditorio Roig Arena in front of an audience of nearly 2,000 people.

Led by Andrew Eldritch, the only original member who remains at the helm of the band, The Sisters of Mercy have built an unmistakable sonic identity over more than four decades, defined by Eldritch’s deep voice and the distinctive use of a drum machine, which the band itself named “Doktor Avalanche”. Their discography includes three studio albums, “First and Last and Always” (1985), “Floodland” (1987) and “Vision Thing” (1990), although the group has since continued to expand its live repertoire with new compositions that have not been officially released.

During their performance at Roig Arena, the band revisited some of the most iconic songs of their career, including “This Corrosion” and “Lucretia My Reflection”, both featured on “Floodland” (1987), as well as “Temple of Love”, one of their best-known singles. The setlist also featured more recent compositions that form part of their live shows, including “Eyes of Caligula”, “Quantum Baby” and “On The Beach”.
