Liv Jagrell
Liv Sin
In 2016 singer Liv Jagrell let the world know that she had formed a new band - Liv Sin. With a heavier sound, driven by furious guitar riffs, the band released their debut album "Follow Me" in 2017. The quintet followed up the release with immense touring during the festival summer and the fall in Europe, and later releasing the acoustic EP "Inverted". Metal Temple writer Jo Jo Hamilton recently caught up with Liv to see what she has been up to.

I would say it took about 6 month to write the album, even though we had ideas before and we also had a summer in between, but yeah around 6 month.
As for the music, this time I didn't listen a lot to other music for inspiration I wanted to let the song develop on its own. From the riffs and harmonies that my guitarists brought and for the lyrics I tend to write about things, events and thoughts that are important to me or gets to me, or that I wish could change. It can be personal, or things happening in our world.
For me its first of all that I do write music and lyrics in Liv Sin, which I didn't do in Sister Sin. And second i would say Liv Sin is more heavy metal and Sister Sin had that rock´n roll feeling to it.
Puhhh, it just feels like we just finished the one we just released, so I do think we need some more time to get back into inspiration mood.
No, there´s no theme, so mostly its just about things that concerns me or things I like to high light, or feelings and emotions that I have
I want to give catchy, heavy music to people, that they can hopefully get inspired by or somehow give a feeling, something that they can relate or grab on to, for example in hard times.
I'm happy about, and I hope that more people will find it and give a good listen. And the of course I hope that people will come out to shows and headbang along with us.
We did one day for " Blood Moon Fever" and one day for " Hope begins to fade"
"Death gives life meaning"!! I LOVE the guitar riff, its just such a heavy groovy kind of song to play.
I hope so, I hope so, but its hard, its such a competition to get good support slots, and you need the finances for that too. Today you have have soooo many bands, and we all want the same. To play live, to get good slots, and to record good music.
Next week we are heading for Japan, then we´ll see. I am really looking forward to japan and Tokyo!
