A Crisis Of Reality With RORY MACLEAN From ST. SINNER

Interview by Kris Peters
Canberra metal outfit St. Sinner are amongst the emerging breed of
acts who are increasingly shunning expectation in favour of growth
and expression.
With a sound that is constantly morphing into a hybrid of styles
and genres, St. Sinner recently showcased their intentions with the
EP Identity Crisis, containing eight songs that exemplify the
band's refusal to paint within the lines while blurring the
conventional perception of reality.
It is an EP that signifies musical evolution of the highest degree,
setting St. Sinner on a path with destiny that is now firmly in
their grasp, with one eye firmly planted in reality, in direct
contrast to the wandering eye that refuses to yield.
HEAVY caught up with frontman Rory Maclean to dive deeper into
Identity Crisis and the immediate future of the band.
We discussed Identity Crisis from a sonic viewpoint, with Rory
emphasising St. Sinner's vision to create a narrative story with
their releases, exploring a diverse musical approach each time. He
provided insights into the creation of the opening title track and
the evolution of the song Devil Boy and also delved into the
inspiration, production, and themes of their songs Headcase,
Villain, and Dysphoria.
Rory elaborated on his strategy of associating different colours
with the singles and chapters within Identity Crisis to enhance
memorability for marketing and aesthetic purposes. He emphasized
the importance of using them to create a cohesive visual identity
and discussed the specific colours associated with each single. The
conversation also discussed the inspiration behind the song Lost It
and the decision to create an animated lyric video for the music
clip, also talking about the guest artists who performed on the EP
and what they brought musically.
