Sister Sin- True Sound Of The Underground
released June 22, 2010 on Victory Records
Sister Sin is a band from Gothenburg, Sweden that’s been described as “street metal” and that moniker is actually quite appropriate. “Sound Of The Underground” opens up this album and it sounds strongly like early Motley Crue with female vocals, with a dash of Judas Priest and Budgie thrown in for good measure. It’s like being transported back to the early 80s but without all of the frizzy hair. “Outrage” sounds more like a continuation of the first track and you’ll want to spin it along with “Heading For Hell” (for some reason, reminds me a bit of Motorhead), “Times Aren’t A-Changing” and “Beat Em Down”. I don’t really see much else to write home about but this is a fun album. It may seem a bit too formulaic for some but it’s just nice to hear something different come out of Gothenburg other than the usual. Check it out.
