(Classic Rock) The Mission have released details on their upcoming 30th anniversary album Another Fall From Grace. It'll be released on September 30 - a day before Wayne Hussey and co head out on tour in support of the record.
Another Fall From Grace will feature 12 tracks and include guest appearances from Gary Numan, Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, HIM's Ville Valo, Evi Vine and the band's longtime collaborator, All About Eve's Julianne Regan. The cover art and full tracklist can be seen below.
Hussey previously said the follow-up to 2013's The Brightest Light would be the "lost link" between The Sisters Of Mercy's debut album First And Last And Always and The Mission's God's Own Medicine.
And he's further elaborated on the new album, saying that his "mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing" suffered as he and the band made the record.
Hussey says: "This is a dark album, although I didn't set out with that intention, it's just the way things unfolded. I know I did go a little crazy and even a little paranoid during the recording of this album, certainly my mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing all suffered during the course of it. And I think that has informed both the music and the lyrics.
"So much of this was done in isolation - from the world, from my family, from my friends, and even from my bandmates. I can't say it's an album I enjoyed making, but it is an album I needed to make.
"It is with huge relief that I can now say it is finished and maybe it's like an acute pain that you have that once it's gone you can't remember how it felt. I hope so, as I would like one day to feel the fondness for this record that it maybe deserves."
The Mission have also released a video for new track Met-Amor-Phosis featuring backing vocals from Valo. Watch it here.
