The Sisters Of Mercy - A Slight Case Of Overbombing CD

A Slight Case of Overbombing (Greatest Hits Volume One) is the definitive singles collection from influential gothic rock pioneers The Sisters of Mercy. Originally released in 1993, the compilation gathers many of the band’s most iconic tracks, capturing the dark, atmospheric sound that helped define the gothic rock and post-punk scenes of the 1980s and early 1990s.

Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Andrew Eldritch, the band blends driving drum machine rhythms, powerful guitar riffs, and brooding lyrical themes to create a sound that is both dramatic and hypnotic. The album includes standout tracks such as Temple of Love, This Corrosion, Lucretia My Reflection, and Dominion / Mother Russia.

Spanning material from across the band’s most celebrated releases, the compilation highlights their evolution from early post-punk roots into the grand, epic gothic rock sound that became their trademark. The record also reflects the influence of the band’s legendary drum machine, often referred to as “Doktor Avalanche,” which helped shape their distinctive sonic identity.
