Australian stoner/doom heavyweights Vessel have just released their take on The Sisters Of Mercy classic “Body And Soul”, streaming now via Doomed Nation. The track is part of their forthcoming concept album, The Somnifer, set to drop on November 1st via Majestic Mountain Records.
On the new single, the band shares: “It’s interesting that a cover song was able to fit the narrative of a concept album so well. I’m a huge fan of The Sisters Of Mercy, and was listening while working from home and taking breaks between writing for the new album when Body And Soul spoke to me so directly. It was saying exactly what I needed to hear, what I wanted to say, and that was how the story of The Somnifer ends.”
