Those familiar with our music know it's pretty basic in format and arrangements. Me and our guitarist Jimmy write all of the material for Sister Sin and we love our rock/metal "meat & potatoes" type of style; a firm beat, repetitive riffs, and with that big hook coming at you in the chorus.

"Chaos Royale" however differs a lot from that format with various tempo changes, technical guitars and different beats. Now this might sound like we crafted something grande and complex, when its probably childsplay for most musicians or songwriters out there, but for two drunken Swedes, in a damp and dark rehearsal space for days on end, it was quite the headscratcher.

Anywho, I can't remember exactly how we came up with the parts but I do remember that me and Jimmy struggled a lot to get them all in place and make everything flow in a natural way.

Cool riffs and headscratching aside, what really matters is how good the melody on top of everything turns out. And when we finally got all pieces of the puzzle together, like mentioned earlier, this track came out somewhat different from what we normally do. For that reason I tried a new approach to this odd creation and wrote the chorus/melody first and then tracked it on guitar so could live with it for a while. When listening back to it, some kind of scenery would roll by or a light bulb might pop up above my head. Up came; horses, castles and medieval stuff. Well...that's not cool at all! Not in my book at least. Unless... Ronnie James Dio sings about it! Dio 'Rainbow' "KILL THE KING" - That line works, but I'm not gonna write a song about killing kings and riding horses in serious manner. I don't have that magical touch as good �ole Dio did, plus it would be un-original as f***.

Some contemplating and a couple cups of coffee later I decided to keep that first line anyways but do it with a different spin. Make something new out of that old, over-used phrase

You know when you're a kid, or as an adult for that matter, you always day dream about what kind of awesome superhero, football player or dragon slayer, etc you will be when growing up? That's what the lyrics came to be about. More or less, at least. Except this person wants to be a ferocious dictator, enslaving the world and to ban all music that sucks (meaning all music except heavy metal.

"Kill the King, long live my tyranny"

Stupid? Yes. Juvenile? Yes. Very much so? Perhaps. But I had fun writing it and hopefully someone out there shares my bad sense of humour and can see it for what it is. Metal doesn't always have to be so serious.

Cheers!
