Description

8th Sin were founded by IT and Michael Bohlin in 1999-2000 when the idea came up to combine several elements in metal/goth and synth/electro to create something fresh and new, not to serve the charts but their own satisfaction. IT was the former of bands like Abruptum, Ophthalamia, War (with Peter Tagtgren and David Blackmoon Parland) and Vondur in the 90 and released 13 albums during his earlier musical career in various constellations. Michael produced the Vondur debut album Stridsyfirlysing back in 1995, were involved in the production of the second Vondur album The Galactic Rock n Roll Empire in 1996 and were remastering the original tapes for the Abruptum album Evil Genius released in 1995. IT also wrote lyrics for both Marduk and Dissection. 8th Sin released their debut album Sinners Inc in October of 2004. Their debut contained a very aggressive electro/synth orientated style of music combined with riffing guitars and ITs strong and theatrical voice that sounds like a mix of Johan Edlund of Tiamat and Marilyn Manson. Their second album Angelseed And Demonmilk was released in October 2005. That album nailed the 8th Sin-sound totally and when recorded with the full band it was a completely different atmosphere. The red line through all songs and the production made this album the perfect template of what 8thSin are. Peter Tagtgren were one of the guests on the album, and were doing a great duet with IT on the song Liars (the first time IT and Peter co-operated since the War album). That song also ended up on several compilation albums in late 2005.
