Review by Nic Drake

Don’t Turn On The Lights Live At Bochum 30051984 – A Goth Rock Monster That Kicks Ass Alright, let’s get one thing straight: if you’re into that dark, brooding vibe of Goth Rock with a punch to the gut, Don’t Turn On The Lights Live At Bochum 30051984 by The Sisters Of Mercy is gonna slap you in the face. Released in 2016 (yeah, decades after it was recorded), this live album from Europe’s legendary gloom merchants feels like a time capsule—and not some polished-up nostalgia trip either. It’s raw, unfiltered, and dripping with attitude. No label noise here; it’s self-released under Not On Label, which tells you they didn’t give two shits about trends or commercial crap. The setlist? Pure fire. You’ve got classics like “Emma,” “Ghostrider,” and “Body Electric” smashing through your speakers like an angry ex-lover kicking down your door. But I’m gonna zoom in on two tracks that stuck with me for different reasons. First up: “Ghostrider.” Holy hell, this song is relentless. Andrew Eldritch’s voice cuts through the mix like a rusty blade—gravelly, pissed-off, but somehow melodic as fuck. The driving bassline and industrial-grade drums hit harder than most modern bands can even dream of. This isn’t just music; it’s a war machine. Every time I hear it, I picture myself cruising down a deserted highway at midnight, windows down, cigarette dangling outta my mouth, feeling invincible. That’s what “Ghostrider” does—it puts you in its world and doesn’t let go until the last note fades away. Then there’s “Body Electric.” If “Ghostrider” is all brute force, this track sneaks up on you like a shadow in the fog. It starts off slow, almost hypnotic, then explodes into this chaotic swirl of guitars and synths that feels like falling apart and coming back together all at once. Eldritch sounds possessed, like he’s channeling something ancient and dangerous. There’s a moment near the end where everything drops out except his voice, and damn if it doesn’t send chills up your spine every single time. It’s haunting, unsettling, and beautiful all at once—a perfect storm of Gothic brilliance. Now, here’s the kicker: listening to this album makes me realize how much we lost when bands stopped taking risks. These days, everyone’s chasing streams and TikTok clout, but The Sisters Of Mercy? They don’t give a flying fuck about any of that. Hell, they didn’t even bother putting this out until years later because they knew their fans would find it eventually. And guess what? We did. So yeah, turn off the lights, crank up the volume, and let this beast devour you whole. Just don’t expect to walk away unchanged. Oh, and one more thing—why do people keep sleeping on old-school Goth Rock? Seriously, y’all need to wake the hell up.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The Sisters Of Mercy’s live album *Don’t Turn On The Lights – Live At Bochum 30051984* was recorded way back in 1984 but didn’t see an official release until 2016. That’s over three decades later! It captures the raw energy of their iconic goth rock sound from that era. Tracks like "Ghostrider" and "Body Electric" showcase why they became legends in the genre. Funny enough, it was released under the label “Not On Label,” which feels fitting for a band known for doing things their own way.
