Am 30. September 2016 werden The Mission ihr neues Album Another Fall From Grace veröffentlichen, das Mastermind Wayne Hussey selbst als Bindeglied zwischen dem The Sisters Of Mercy Album First & Last & Always und The Missions God’s Own Medicine bezeichnet. Dass diese Bezeichnung nicht von ungefähr kommt, beweist nun die neue Single MET-AMOR-PHOSIS, denn diese erinnert gerade zu Beginn sicher den einen oder anderen an einen einschlägigen TSOM-Song. Das Video zur Single findet ihr weiter unten, die zusätzliche Gesangsspur stammt von niemand Geringerem als HIMs Ville Valo. Und auch für das Album konnten The Mission eine ganze Reihe weiterer illustrer Gäste aktivieren, so wird es außerdem Backing Vocals von Gary Numan, Martin Gore (Depeche Mode), Julianne Regan (All About Eve) und Evi Vine geben. Das Album soll wieder etwas düsterer ausfallen, was sicher viele Fans freuen dürfte.
Lass Dir den Beitrag vorlesen:
For me, this new Mission album is the long lost missing link between the Sisters Of Mercy’s First & Last & Always and The Mission’s God’s Own Medicine, both albums of course that I was heavily involved in making. I set out this time with the intention of making an album that sounds like 1985. The fact that I feel this has largely been achieved is down to my renewed love for the jingle jangle shimmer of the electric 12 string guitar which featured heavily on those two previously mentioned albums and now the new Mission album.
This is a dark album although I didn’t set out with that intention, it’s just the way things unfolded. I know I did go a little crazy and even a little paranoid during the recording of this album, certainly my mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well being all suffered during the course of it. And I think that has informed both the music and the lyrics. So much of this was done in isolation – from the world, from my family, from my friends, and even from my band mates. I can’t say it’s an album I enjoyed making but it is an album I NEEDED to make. It is with huge relief that I can now say it is finished and maybe it’s like an acute pain that you have that once it’s gone you can’t remember how it felt. I hope so as I would like one day to feel the fondness for this record that it maybe deserves. (Wayne Hussey, 12.08.2016)
