Legendary gothic rock band **The Mission** has officially announced the release of their latest album, a highly anticipated project set to accompany their 2025 world tour. The new album, titled *Eclipse of the Soul*, marks a fresh chapter for the band, blending their signature dark, atmospheric sound with a modern edge that is sure to captivate longtime fans and new listeners alike.
The band, originally formed in 1986 by former Sisters of Mercy members Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams, has remained a staple in the gothic and post-punk scene for nearly four decades. *Eclipse of the Soul* is their first full-length release since 2016’s *Another Fall from Grace* and has been described as a return to their classic form, while also embracing contemporary production techniques.
In a recent statement, frontman **Wayne Hussey** expressed his excitement about the album and the upcoming tour: *“This album is a labor of love, an exploration of everything we’ve been through as a band and as individuals. We wanted to create something that speaks to our roots but also reflects where we are today. The 2025 world tour will be our most ambitious yet, and we can’t wait to share this new music with the world.”*
The album features ten brand-new tracks, including the lead single **“Shadows Never Sleep”**, which has already generated buzz within the gothic rock community. The song combines Hussey’s haunting vocals, melancholic guitar melodies, and powerful lyricism, making it a standout piece in the band’s vast discography.
The Mission’s 2025 world tour is set to kick off in **London** before heading across Europe, North America, and Australia. Fans can expect a mix of classic hits such as *Wasteland*, *Tower of Strength*, and *Severina* alongside new tracks from *Eclipse of the Soul*. With their reputation for electrifying live performances, this tour promises to be a must-see event for rock enthusiasts worldwide.
Tickets for the tour are expected to go on sale next month, with special edition vinyl and merchandise also available for preorder. Stay tuned for further updates on *The Mission’s* latest musical journey!
