The Mission UK - Carved in Sand torrent

The Mission (known as The Mission UK in the United States) were a gothic rock band formed in 1986 from the splinters of the freshly-dissolved rock band The Sisters of Mercy.

It was started by frontman Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams (both of the Sisters), soon adding Mick Brown (of Red Lorry Yellow Lorry) and Simon Hinkler (of Artery/Pulp). Aside from Hussey, the line-up has changed several times during the years, and the band has been dusted up from a state of dormancy once or twice.

The backbone of the band's catalogue consists of nine main albums (Gods Own Medicine, First Chapter, Children, Carved in Sand, Masque, Neverland, Blue, Aura and God Is A Bullet) with several complementing albums, compilations and other miscellaneous releases also in existence.


Carved in Sand was an album by the band The Mission, produced by Tim Palmer, and engineered by Chris Sheldon, featuring Reeves Gabrels (guitar) on "Into the Blue" and on "Hungry" as the Hunter and Guy Chambers (keyboards) on "Grapes of Wrath".
