Retro Video Unit (6/26/15)

The '80s stopped by today and left this one for us: "This Corrosion" by The Sisters of Mercy.



It does not get much more ridiculous or over the top than this video, but regardless this is an excellent song and absolutely of its time. When I watched this now, I found myself wondering where these people are and what they're doing; Wikipedia informs me that while no new recordings have been released in over two decades, the band is active in touring and performing live.

(Trivia: this song was produced by Jim Steinman, who was largely responsible, as producer and songwriter, for the success of the Meat Loaf album Bat Out of Hell in the late 1970s.)
