Floodland

by The Sisters of Mercy

Floodland cover art

Driven entirely by relentless, programmed drum machines and Andrew Eldritch's commanding bass-baritone, 'Floodland' is a monumental gothic rock achievement. The album utilizes dense, Wagnerian choral arrangements and swirling, atmospheric synthesizers to create a sprawling, nocturnal soundscape steeped in dark romanticism and apocalyptic political imagery. It stands as a definitive, highly produced peak for 80s darkwave.
