The Sisters Of Mercy - The First And Last And Always CD

The First And Last And Always is the debut studio album by The Sisters Of Mercy and a cornerstone of gothic rock. Originally released in 1985, the album blends driving drum machine rhythms, dark melodic basslines and Andrew Eldritch’s commanding baritone vocals into a stark, atmospheric sound that defined a genre. Songs such as “Black Planet,” “Walk Away,” “No Time to Cry” and “Marian” combine post-punk energy with brooding romanticism and existential themes. Moody, hypnotic and uncompromising, The First And Last And Always remains a hugely influential album whose shadow can still be heard across alternative and gothic music today.
