Sister Sin – “Now And Forever”

I have been a fan of Sister Sin for a while now; I love how they put a modern twist on old school heavy metal. Their latest offering, Now And Forever, successfully carries on that tradition, but kicks things up a notch as well. After a brief introduction, “End Of The Line” starts things off in true Sister Sin fashion; and with the exception of “Morning After”, I feel this record is edgier and more aggressive than anything they’ve previously released. Don’t get the wrong idea though, their trademark classic metal riffing is still here, but I feel the whole disc has a heavier feel to it.

As I mentioned though, there is one exception. “Morning After” is a piano-driven, string-laced, tender ballad that really showcases Liv’s incredible vocal abilities. While I am not the biggest fan of ballads, this one is extremely well done and really enjoyable; I feel it’s a perfect way to cap off such a great record. I highly recommend picking up Now And Forever, it is some of the best straightforward metal I have heard all year.
