The Sisters of Mercy - Dominion Mother Russia [HQ - HD 720p] (4:38) ~ Sarakyel, 2013-02-09
Note: The music video name says "Mother Russia" but it didn't include the that coda part.
Also notable in the video, he has a walking stick with a hidden sword within. Victorian gentlemen walked around with canes and cane-swords as a self-defense precaution because sometimes the poor they were exploiting would get just desperate enough to try something. Maybe in these interesting times of riots and masked villains we should resume the practice of toting gentlemanly canes.
Here is the better sounding full track with coda "Mother Russia" to trigger all the anti-commie asstrolls out there...

Today I learned about the interesting political backstory of that song:

I also learned about the "Ozymandias" track:
The Sisters of Mercy - Ozymandias (7'' version) (4:16) ~ Dark Snake, 2010-03-21
" The B-side "Ozymandias" is simply an edit of "Dominion", with most layers of the track played backwards except for the drums. When "Ozymandias" is itself in full played backwards, it sounds simply like a remix of "Dominion" with backwards-echoed drums, in a similar fashion to the drum layer in "Peek-a-Boo" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.

I was a lifeguard that summer and had earned a lot of money (not really, but to me then, at 16-17 it was) and I spent most of it on music (I was also a wedding DJ). I was at the record store so much, and because I liked eclectic music of all genres, they hired me. This was one of the albums I was stocking. It's amazing how after not listening to this for 30 years I still know all the lyrics.
