Legendary goth rock band The Sisters of Mercy returned to the US on Wednesday night for their first US tour in nearly 15 years. Playing to a packed house at Fillmore Silver Springs outside Washington, DC, the band played 23 songs, including 10 previously unreleased pieces. Watch a video of the concert and check out the full playlist below.
The sisters opened with new song “Don’t Drive On Ice,” featuring some of their classic hits like “Lucretia My Reflection,” “Temple of Love,” “More,” “Dominion,” and more. Meanwhile, the new song showcases songwriter Andrew Eldritch’s recent output and the fact that he’s still writing despite not having released an album since 1990.
The next stop on the 19-day tour is this weekend’s Sick New World festival in Las Vegas, which will also feature System of a Down, Korn, Deftones and more. The band will then play some West Coast shows, travel through Central Texas, make stops on the East Coast, and wrap up in Denver, Colorado on June 9th.Tickets for all other dates are on sale here.
