About Andrew Eldritch

As of 2014, she was the last founding member of the band The Sisters of Mercy still alive. The band started off as a post-punk outfit before branching out into gothic rock and hard rock.

Andrew Eldritch is an English singer, songwriter and musician. He is the frontman and only remaining original member of the Sisters of Mercy, a band that emerged from the British post-punk scene, transformed into a gothic rock band, and, in later years, flirted with hard rock. Formerly a drummer, Eldritch also programs the tracks for the Sisters of Mercy's drum machine and plays guitars and keyboards in its studio recordings but uses live shows to focus solely on his vocal performance. Eldritch is well known for his deep and melancholic bass-baritone singing voice as well as his poetic lyrics. The Sisters of Mercy is regarded as a major influence on gothic rock, and Eldritch, with his shock of black hair, bass-baritone vocal style and pale and thin look, was described in the media as a poster boy for the genre, earning him the label "the Godfather of Goth", which he frequently rejects. He also established the record label Merciful Release.
