I think I have heard them. Do they sound anything like the Sisters Of Mercy?
If so then no, not prog or prog related.

The one album from 1986 that I just listened into is not at all like Sisters of Mercy. I'll listen in more detail, read some reviews on other websites and then I'll vote.

I have to admit I've only heard one or two tracks some time ago and my first impression was the Sisters of Mercy. I also haven't voted yet (possibly never will) until I have heard more from them.

BTW, I quite liked the Sisters of Mercy

I used to like this band when I was younger. I saw them live about three times. They always sounded really good live, especially on the 'Elysium' tour (1990?)

They were once referred to as the 'Goth Pink Floyd' shortly after the Elysium album came out. The album had a much more conceptual feel than its predecessors, and featured long songs and a fair amount of ambient messing around, but prog? No. Goth rock.

In many ways better than the other big goth acts of the day; The Sisters of Mercy & The Mission. More interesting and more rock than the former and less cheesey than the latter...IMO..

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I love the band. Only for "Last Exit For The Lost" they are worth listening to.
