LIV SIN
Swedish modern metal juggernaut LIV SIN is back with a bang, dropping their hard-hitting new single “Louder” today, just as their highly anticipated album Close Your Eyes hits shelves via Seek & Strike. Known for their aggressive, riff-driven sound and soaring melodic hooks, the band is pushing the boundaries of their genre with an anthem that’s meant to be screamed and sung along to.
The song is a testament to the band’s unrelenting energy and fierce attitude, offering fans a straightforward, no-nonsense metal-rock track that’s sure to become a crowd favorite. As frontwoman Liv Jagrell (formerly of Sister Sin) explains, “Louder” is all about channeling frustration and resilience. “It’s a song about betrayal, about those who turn their backs on you and slander you. What better way to fight back than to turn up your favorite music, drown out the negativity, and just lose yourself in the moment?” she says.
With “Louder,” LIV SIN gives fans exactly what they crave: a song that perfectly captures the raw power and emotional catharsis that defines their sound. Jagrell’s powerful, visceral vocals cut through the track like a razor blade, while the band’s relentless rhythm section and blistering guitar work create a driving force that compels listeners to crank the volume to eleven.
“We wanted to make something that felt as much like our live shows as possible,” Jagrell adds. “We invited our fans to join us in the video, and it turned into an experience that truly reflects the spirit of our music.”“Louder” is a standout moment in the band’s new album Close Your Eyes, which has already received critical acclaim for its blend of sonic ferocity and emotional depth. Metal Gods Meltdown described the album as “an impressive blend of sonic breadth and emotional depth,” a fitting review for an album that showcases LIV SIN’s growth and their mastery of blending raw power with meaningful resonance.
The full Close Your Eyes album is a compelling journey into the heart of modern metal. Tracks like the title track “Close Your Eyes”, which tackles the harrowing realities of human trafficking, and “Run”, inspired by a real-life cult story, show that the band isn’t afraid to confront the darkest corners of the human experience. And with “Louder” now out, the band’s unflinching approach to songwriting is more evident than ever.
With a lineup featuring Liv Jagrell on vocals, Per Bjevoluk on drums, Daniel Skoglund on bass, Sonny Larsson on lead guitar, and Ante Mäkelä on rhythm guitar, LIV SIN continues to build a reputation for delivering soul-stirring performances and connecting with their fans in a genuine way. Each member brings something unique to the table—from folk influences to a passion for music education and community art, creating a dynamic that resonates deeply both musically and culturally.
Since their formation, LIV SIN has steadily carved out a name for themselves in the global metal scene. Born from the ashes of Sister Sin, the band’s new album Close Your Eyes serves as a testament to their relentless drive and evolution as artists. And with “Louder” as a fiery precursor to the album, it’s clear that LIV SIN is not just a band—they’re a force to be reckoned with.
“Louder” is now available across all streaming platforms, and Close Your Eyes can be ordered here.
