The Sisters of Mercy have not released new recorded material since 1993. In 2010, Eldritch confirmed that he saw no reason to release an album in an interview with ''[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]]'' contributor [[Joel McIver]]. In August 2010, when asked to elaborate, Eldritch cited time constraints and a lack of available material as some of the issues involved.  

Speculation about a new release was renewed in November 2016 when Eldritch mentioned he might release a new album if Donald Trump were elected president: "I don't think I could keep quiet if that happened."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Jost|first1=Matthias|title=Andrew Eldritch: Sisters of Mercy will make another album if Trump is elected|url=http://teamrock.com/feature/2016-06-21/andrew-eldritch-sisters-of-mercy-will-make-another-album-if-trump-is-elected|website=TeamRock.com|date=21 June 2016|access-date=23 August 2017}}</ref> The band has yet to release any new material, but in 2017 they embarked on a European tour in August and September.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.post-punk.com/the-sisters-of-mercy-announce-2017-european-tourdates/|title=The Sisters of Mercy announce 2017 European Tourdates|date=2017-05-23|work=Post-Punk.com|access-date=2018-02-10|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://midlandsmetalheads.com/gig-review-the-sisters-of-mercy-and-the-membranes-at-the-institute-birmingham-22nd-nov-2016/|title=Gig Review - The Sisters of Mercy and The Membranes at the Institute, Birmingham, 22nd Nov 2016|date=2016-11-23|work=Midlands Metalheads Radio Ltd|access-date=2018-02-10|language=en-GB}}</ref> The band has performed thirteen new songs during concerts held between 2019 and 2024, such as "There's a Door", "Don't Drive on Ice", "I Will Call You", "Show Me (On the Doll)", "When I'm on Fire", "On the Beach", "But Genevieve", "She's a Monster", "Here" and "Quantum Baby", but no studio recordings have been made available.<ref>{{Cite web |author1=Mark Andrews |date=2023-05-11 |title=The Sisters of Mercy's Andrew Eldritch thinks 'Fear of the Dark' by Iron Maiden is like a Sisters cover version |url=https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-sisters-of-mercy-s-andrew-eldritch-thinks-fear-of-the-dark-by-iron-maiden-is-like-a-sisters-cover-version |access-date=2023-08-24 |website=louder |language=en}}</ref> Since 2012, some of the shows have featured a guest appearance by the Irish singer Lisa Cuthbert, who performs her cover version of "This Corrosion" on piano.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.breakingtunes.com/lisacuthbert|title=Lisa Cuthbert on Breaking Tunes|website=www.breakingtunes.com|language=en|access-date=2018-02-10|archive-date=10 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180210180911/https://www.breakingtunes.com/lisacuthbert|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hotpress.com/Lisa-Cuthbert/music/interviews/A-Walk-On-The-Dark-Side/10288572.html|title=A Walk On The Dark Side {{!}} Music {{!}} Interview {{!}} Hot Press|website=Hot Press - Music News, Reviews, Interviews plus Pop Culture and Politics|language=en|access-date=2018-02-10|archive-date=28 August 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240828055946/https://www.hotpress.com/music/a-walk-on-the-dark-side-10288572|url-status=live}}</ref>
