The latest CD from the Swedish band Sister Sin is True Sound Of The Underground. Vocalist Liv fills us in on the album, a recent lineup change, their U.S. tour, her musical beginnings and several other topics.
Chad Bowar: How did the band's sound evolve from Switchblade Serenades to True Sound Of The Underground?
Liv: It just came naturally to evolve towards a bit more heavier and aggressive style, something that became apparent when touring on Switchblade Seranades. It just lacked the energy in some places that we really needed when playing live. I think this is the step towards the sound we've been aiming for, the songs, the style, it all fit together. We are very pleased how it came out.
Where did the album title come from?
Coming out of Gothenburg in 2003 where all bands played that melodic, In Flames, kind of metal. We've always felt like outsiders, and many bands in that genre claimed themselves as "underground," although it was the most popular music there at the time. So we decided to use "true sound of the underground" on our websites, stickers and stuff. The phrase has stuck with us ever since and we thought it would be cool as an album title.
