│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Sandwiched between a cornucopia of Victory ║ │
│║ Records' metalcore factions and metalcore- ║ │
│║ related progenies is Sister Sin, a Swedish ║ │
│║ female-fronted heavy metal machine. Releasing a ║ │
│║ number of well-received opuses (no doubt thanks ║ │
│║ to VictoryÆs efficiency) that carry a fire ║ │
│║ similar in heat and color to that of the flames ║ │
│║ of Crucified Barbara or Doro to name a few, ║ │
│║ Sister Sin's beginnings include a little ║ │
│║ twenty-eight minute collection of snazzy heavy ║ │
│║ metal/hard rock tunes called "Dance of the ║ │
│║ Wicked." Those dogs running Victory took the ║ │
│║ liberty of repackaging and reissuing the record, ║ │
│║ stuffing in a lot of goodies in the process, ║ │
│║ which is fine, but they forgot to include ║ │
│║ something ridiculous like The Ghost Phallos ║ │
│║ Mortuus Ritual Box Set, which is a load of shit ║ │
│║ so this gets a zero. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ I'm jokingùthere's little different to the ║ │
│║ actual reissue other than a new cover art ║ │
│║ (better than the original yet both are still ║ │
│║ dreadful) and a handful of bonus tracks. I ║ │
│║ suppose one could dub Sister Sin's beginnings ║ │
│║ humble, for the group's antics throughout "Dance ║ │
│║ of the Wicked" are adequate and lively staples ║ │
│║ of old-school heavy metal/hard rock with the ║ │
│║ goods to sustain their own existences, clearly ║ │
│║ paying homage to Mot÷rhead, the aforementioned ║ │
│║ cohorts, and so on. There's nothing over-the-top ║ │
│║ or fattening here; just Sister Sin's early days ║ │
│║ captured in their raw, dirty glories. "Dance of ║ │
│║ the Wicked" is no masterpiece and frankly it ║ │
│║ looks like a band biting off way more than it ║ │
│║ could chew at the time, but it's still not too ║ │
│║ shabby, and there are definitely some diamonds ║ │
│║ hidden in the pile of dirt and sleaze. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Sister Sin's shining star is Liv Jagrell, whose ║ │
│║ voice is a total powerhouse of sonic ║ │
│║ electricity. She completely owns this album, ║ │
│║ bringing out traditional aspects of the female ║ │
│║ rock singer α la Doro Pesch mixed with bluesy, ║ │
│║ silky low notes similar to that of Danzig's. Her ║ │
│║ performance is absolutely phenomenal. "Dance of ║ │
│║ the Wicked" is otherwise pretty standard fare ║ │
│║ for this type of thing, using chorus-based ║ │
│║ rockers that run through the gamut of guitar ║ │
│║ leads and riffs without overcomplicating the ║ │
│║ overall picture. The payoff is sort of rocky, ║ │
│║ however; there are varying degrees of ║ │
│║ consistency between the eight anthems. "Kiss the ║ │
│║ Sky" and "Fall Into my Dreams" are stellar, ║ │
│║ delicious cuts of heavy metal goodness, while ║ │
│║ others like the title track and "Tragedy Loves ║ │
│║ Company" could've used a little more ║ │
│║ development. "Love Lies" and "Dirty Damn" are ║ │
│║ two general and paper-thin rockers that have ║ │
│║ been served by countless others beforehand. Oh ║ │
│║ well. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The cover of "Paint it Black" is decent, but it ║ │
│║ really isn't a huge deal since every band ever ║ │
│║ has covered "Paint it Black" at some point or ║ │
│║ another. The reissue's added content (mostly ║ │
│║ demos) is pretty useless, but it does include a ║ │
│║ baller cover of Mot÷rhead's "Rock 'n' Roll" ║ │
│║ featuring none other than Doro Pesch as a guest ║ │
│║ vocalist; it's one of those they-fucking- ║ │
│║ nailed-it kind of tributes. Other than that, ║ │
│║ "Dance of the Wicked" is listenable, fun, ║ │
│║ catchy, burning hot heavy metal. Some of the ║ │
│║ elements are undeveloped and myopic, but most of ║ │
│║ the album shows Sister Sin feeling around the ║ │
│║ edges and warming up to the long and endearing ║ │
│║ world of heavy metal. Good stuff. ║ │
