Additional information about this, The Mission vinyl art.

The Mission – The Artist

The Mission (known as The Mission UK in the United States) are an English gothic rock band formed in 1986. Initially known as The Sisterhood, the band was started by frontman Wayne Hussey and bassist Craig Adams (both from The Sisters of Mercy), soon adding drummer Mick Brown (Red Lorry Yellow Lorry) and guitarist Simon Hinkler (Artery and Pulp). Aside from Hussey, the lineup has changed several times during the years and the band has been on hiatus twice.

Serpents Kiss – The Song

‘Serpents Kiss’ is a song by Gothic rock band The Mission. It was written by the band members, Adams, Brown, Hussey and Hinckler. It was released on the Chapter 22 label. It did not come off a studio album but a compilation album entitled, The First Chapter which included material from their first two EP releases.

The Serpent – The Shape

This record has been modelled into the silhouette of a serpent or snakes head. Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles. The serpent, or snake, is one of the oldest and most widespread mythological symbols. The word is derived from Latin serpens, a crawling animal or snake. Snakes have been associated with some of the oldest rituals known to mankind  and represent dual expression of good and evil. Snakes are elongated, limbless, carnivorous reptiles of the suborder Serpentes. Like all other squamates, snakes are ectothermic, amniote vertebrates covered in overlapping scales. Many species of snakes have skulls with several more joints than their lizard ancestors, enabling them to swallow prey much larger than their heads with their highly mobile jaws. To accommodate their narrow bodies, snakes’ paired organs (such as kidneys) appear one in front of the other instead of side by side, and most have only one functional lung.
