Sweden’s SIDEBURN To Release Evil Or Divine Album In North America Next Month
May 6, 2015, 9 years ago
Stockholm, Sweden’s Sideburn, featuring Dimitri Keiski (vocals, guitar), Morgan Zocek (guitar), Martin Karlsson (bass, organ), and Fredrik Haake (drums), will release their fifth full-length album, titled Evil Or Divine, in North America on June 9th via Metalville Records.
Inspired by seminal acts such as Black Sabbath, Candlemass, Scorpions, and Rainbow, Sideburn has gained a solid reputation in the hard rock/doom genre by blending retro sounds with a modern approach.
Mixed/Produced by Jonas Edler with Morgan Zocek and Sideburn at B.A.S. Studio and mastered by Mats "Limpan" Lindfors (Meshuggah, Katatonia, Opeth) at Cutting Room studios in Stockholm, with a sound that as much is rooted in the past as it is heading for the future, fans can expect more of what they’ve come to know and enjoy from the band - heavy guitar attacks blended with intense solos backed by a steady rhythm section.
“We are happy signing with Metalville and with their belief and support we think we can take the band to the next level in our career,” says guitarist Morgan Zocek.
Evil Or Divine tracklisting:
“Masters And Slaves”
“Sea Of Sins”
“When Darkness Calls”
“The Seer (Angel Of Death)”
“The Day The Sun Died”
“Evil Ways”
“Presence”
Originally formed back in 1997, the band signed to the Italian label Beard of Stars/Vinyl Magic in 2000 and soon after released their debut album, Trying To Burn The Sun. From there, the quartet would go on to release their second album The Newborn Sun in 2007, followed by Demon Dance in 2010, and 2012’s IV Monument – both via Transubstans Records.
