Former SPIRITUAL BEGGARS Vocalist Returns With New Band MY REGIME
June 23, 2016, 8 years ago
Swedish singer / songwriter Spice (Spiritual Beggars, Kayser) returns with a new band named My Regime, and a new album titled Dogmas - scheduled for an August 26th release on Scarlet Records.
Dogmas is Spice’s most aggressive album to date, a furious thrash metal attack that brings to the table some of the fastest and sharpest riffs ever conceived, with an old school feel and plenty of attitude. Here is how Spice himself commented: “This band is my ventilation to get rid of some unhealthy anger. Both in a musical way, but also in a mental way. I feel I need it to keep me sane in a politically correct and insane society. Especially living in a country that is selling out all the progress what past generation has achieved. I feel the need to ventilate the madness of certain ideologies that are taking us in the wrong direction. I can’t think of a better way than to express it through some good old thrash songs. I’m talking about thrash the way it was in the beginning. Fast, angry and raw.”
Christian "Spice" Sjöstrand was a member of Spiritual Beggars, alongside guitarist Michael Amott (Carcass, Arch Enemy) from 1993 – 2001. Spice sang and played bass on the first four Spiritual Beggars albums: Spiritual Beggars (1994), Another Way To Shine (1996), Mantra III (1998), and Ad Astra (2000).
