SISTER SIN PREMIERE “CHAOS ROYALE” LYRIC VIDEO
Sister Sin have delivered the heavy metal album of the decade – Black Lotus, their fifth studio album in stores 10/27/14.
Sister Sin skillfully inject elements of classic, metal-tinged hard rock in the vein of Motley Crue, Accept, and Judas Priest, while remaining contemporary, fresh and pushing heavy metal to wider audiences, akin to bands like The Pretty Reckless and Halestorm. Revolver adds, “If you think Sister Sin are just another female-fronted metal band, you’ve got another thing comin’. Spiked and leather-clad, these Swedes crank out music for fighting hard and partying harder.”

Having recently announced their debut LP as Dream Police, Mark Perro and Nick Chiericozzi (best known as the founding members of The Men) are sharing the title track from Hypnotized with us today.
“Hypnotized” finds the duo utilizing a Roland 707 drum machine and Juno 106 synthesizer to compliment the psychedelic, and fuzzed out guitars that the two are best known for. Mark Perro’s monotone vocals lay even with the instrumentation in the mix so that the entire track washes over you.
