BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1983

The Sisters of Mercy are an English Gothic Rock band that formed in 1980. After achieving early underground fame in UK, the band had their commercial breakthrough in mid-1980s and sustained it until the early 1990s, when they stopped releasing new recorded output in protest against their record company. Currently, the band is a touring outfit only.

On 15th October 1983 Temple Of Love entered the UK Independent Charts peaking at #1. After the success of “Temple of Love”, the band signed a contract with major record label WEA.
