Bio:
From the dark beaches of south Sweden, Liv ”Sin” Jagrell emerged as a major force as the vocalist for hard rockers Sister Sin. Throughout their 13 year career, Sister Sin sold thousands of albums and toured the world with high profile tours supporting the likes of Slayer and King Diamond on the Rockstar Mayhem festival tour, as well as being a part of the Revolver magazine ”Hottest Chicks in Metal” tour. Sister Sin toured relentlessly for over a decade across Europe and North America garnering an intensely loyal following of rockers that craved the band’s aggressive and melodic brand of hard rock.When Sister Sin called it quits at the end of 2015, Liv knew that she had much more to give to her fans. From this, LIV SIN was born.
Album:
Female singer Liv Jagrell has always been a diehard. From her days with gritty melodic hard rockers SISTER SIN, through to her current solo status and role as one of heavy metal’s most passionate advocates, she has been a reassuring presence for the last decade.The albums released with her self-named solo band LIV SIN have been particularly different, heavier, as the Swedish powerhouse stayed true to the old-school values that have underscored most of her work, while also taking straight-ahead, melodic hard rock into unfamiliar, fervently modern territory.New LIV SIN album “Close Your Eyes” is even heavier with relentless lethal dark hooks, monstrous deathly guitar tones and some of the most vicious vocals Liv has ever delivered. Getting heavier by the minute, Liv is plainly not interested in the sepia-tinted, double-denim market. Like her spiritual forebear, Dee Snider, she has an urgent need to rock, but by the heaviest means possible.As result, “Close Your Eyes” is filled to the brim with herculean drops, impressive solos, heavy-modern guitar riffs and intense drumming. ‘Run’, a stand out off the record, is a head-banging tour de force that showcases the power that the band have locked up in their vault.Liv always had a voice that could scalp all-comers at a hundred paces, but with LIV SIN has become an absolute monster in recent years. “Close Your Eyes” begins with “Praise The Winners”, which seethes with righteous indignance and features the singer in a state of infernal fury. As has increasingly been the case, her band’s bedrock of muscular hard rock is now often closer to the punishing, pure metal of ARCH ENEMY than to anything from the ’80s, and their leader’s formidable roar has matured hugely as a result.She nails the hook with real venom on the breathlessly catchy “Run”, makes like a steroidal LIZZY BORDEN on horror tale “The Mask”, and delivers brutal defiance and a dash of adolescent petulance on “It’s Not Your Life”.At times, it is unashamedly direct: “Louder” and “I Refuse” are the kind of insolent, celebratory anthems that Liv was born to sing. In contrast, the closing “Hold It Together” is a lissome pop ballad with a big metal chorus that she nails to the wall with such furrowed-brow force that everybody within earshot is going to feel the splinters.The finest moment when LIV SIN embrace the old school with renewed alacrity, “Above The Line”, is a near-perfect metal song, with the bite and charm of JUDAS PRIEST, the skin-scouring pomp of W.A.S.P. and the deadly, melodic intelligence of IRON MAIDEN. It even takes a brief detour into doom territory, via an ugly, stuttering riff that blossoms into a textbook classic metal coda.“Close Your Eyes” is full of such moments, where the singer’s infectious enthusiasm is mirrored by the feverish invention of her bandmates, and everything falls neatly and loudly into place. LIV SIN continue to rock, heavier than most, and that voice will still knock you sideways.
