The north-western part of Sweden has spawned quite a few bands of notoriety: Cloudscape, Soilwork, Darkane, Faithful Darkness and Chine to name some all hail from the towns of Helsingborg and Höganäs to the north of Helsingborg.
Sins In Vain's debut album offers some nice melodic metal with plenty of hooks and emotions. Fronted by Linnèa Renholm Persson, whose vocal performances at times are so beautiful that I get a small lump in my throat.
Speaking of the musicians of the band, I really enjoy the work of guitarists Jens Tellman and Christian Andersen. Good, solid riffing along with some good solos they certainly do the job for me. The rhythm section with Fredrik Andersson (also on vocals in Chine) and Frederik Löfgren offers a solid backbone to this group.
Some of the songs don't quite do the job for me, mostly because they are a bit made of the same mould - but on the good songs there is enough quality to make me smile.
Sins In Vain offers some not totally original music but
on the whole "Enemy Within" is a good album.
