Floodland saw the band dramatically expand their sound, incorporating industrial textures and gospel-influenced choirs into their signature sound. The result was a bleak, epic, and profoundly influential album.
- Floodland was the only album released on the Sisters' own Merciful Release label. It reached number 39 on the UK Albums Chart. The album was recorded in three different studios: RTS Studios, Hook End Manor, and Wanderlust Studios.
- The album features guest appearances from rock icons Patti Smith and Donnie Van Zandt. It was the band's first album following the departure of founding members Gary Marx and Craig Adams.
- Despite its dark themes, the album produced the band's highest-charting single in the UK, "Dominion", which reached number 7.
The Sisters of Mercy are a British rock band fronted by Andrew Eldritch. They are known for their gothic rock sound and dark, poetic lyrics.
