Album Notes & Community Reviews

Originating purely as a spiteful legal maneuver by Andrew Eldritch to prevent former bandmates from using 'The Sisterhood' name, the project evolved into a pioneering darkwave experiment. Dominated by rigid drum machines and icy synthesizer sequencing, the record firmly bridges gothic rock gloom with the mechanized club sounds of EBM.
