The Mission are a gothic rock band from Leeds, England, who started in 1986 and are still going strong. They have produced eleven albums in their long history. Carved In Sand (1990) is their most popular. The album had a handful of singles but Deliverance is the fucking killer. Go to the one and a half minute mark for the start of the song. Mental live. Goes right off.
