About this album
First And Last And Always is the defining statement of The Sisters Of Mercy’s goth rock era, turning shadowy atmosphere and mechanical drive into a hugely influential debut. Released in 1985, the album brought together bleak imagery, metronomic rhythms and Andrew Eldritch’s deep, commanding vocals, with songs such as Black Planet, No Time To Cry and Marian becoming scene touchstones. Recorded during a turbulent period for the band, it nevertheless established their signature sound and helped shape the wider gothic rock movement. Its stark elegance and hard-edged momentum have kept it a cornerstone of 1980s alternative music.
