Sister by In Solitude

7.1 / 10

The young Swedish metal band In Solitude's darkness is alluring and seductive, not esoteric and obtuse. On their third album, they move away from emulating Mercyful Fate and show an increased interest in NWOBHM, early 80s speed metal, and even deathrock.

Before I started listening to this album, the first thing I thought of was: "funny they gave it the name Sister, there's an old Sonic Youth album with the same name!" But as it happens they are not a Pitchfork-friendly indie re-hash band, but a pure, no-nonsense heavy metal band from Sweden.
