Music speaks for itself, but when it comes to
Toronto’s Scarlet Sins, it shouts in your face.
From the inimitable cover of their debut
independent eponymous effort—the alchemical
symbol for androgyny—to the 13 tracks of thick,
undulating metallic rock inside, this is not your
typical band.
Stylistically, Scarlet Sins’ low-end rhythms
intertwine with melodic verses and soaring
choruses to create concise, guttural epics. The
band’s spirited power and intense musicianship
rides the line between metallic thunder and
straight-forward rock grace with ease. Tracks
such as “Let Go,” “Above Ground” and “Fire
Inside” are imposingly patient; their mid-tempo
pacing creates an enticing, ambitiously gripping
aura. Singer Sylvya NuVynska’s vocals shift
between grit-laden, throaty crooning evidenced
on “Drown” and the towering, emotional
conviction behind ballad-esque “With You,”
impelled by Cristina Bishop’s guitar which
alternates between crunchy drive and punching
squeals, Tanya Nicklaus’ vociferous bass and
drummer Elie Bertrand’s forceful, incensed
pounding.
Formed by Bishop in 2004, Scarlet Sins is the
product of destiny; of personal relationships and
acquaintances finally uniting. Searching out the
perfect vocalist, fate intervened as Bishop and
NuVynska met through an online classified ad,
realizing their personal musical styles were
perfectly suited. Bishop’s intuition compelled her
to bring longtime friend, Nicklaus, into Scarlet
Sins thanks to her thunderous delivery. After
auditioning a plethora of hopeful drummers, the
band was solidified in mid-2007 with the addition
of Bertrand, a seasoned performer sponsored by
the likes of Pearl, Sabian, Los Cabos and
Sibertdrum.
Sonically, Scarlet Sins incorporates diverse
interests such as metal, industrial, rock and
classical into their sound, intertwining these
influences to create a unique sonic drive with
prowess and originality.
“When we write, we allow each other to express
ourselves. For the songs on this album, we took
ideas formulated by Cristina and then expanded
the initial seeds of originality into some really
compelling ideas,” says NuVynska. “Cristina was
the catalyst, but with all of us, it became Scarlet
Sins.”
“We’re melodic; contemporary; we’re trying to
bring heavier music into a newer time,” adds
Bishop. “To us, being heavy is an intense
melody; a feeling that you emote.”
Still, the professional intuition of producer Rich
Chycki had a strong impact on personifying that
emotion into an album as he understood how to
channel their expression. Utilizing his experience
with acts including Rush, Aerosmith and Simple
Plan, Chycki was able to capture the essence of
Scarlet Sins on tape.
“Once we found Rich, we knew he could bring out
the best in us,” recalls Bishop. “He knew exactly
what we wanted and the connection was natural.”
Propelled by passion and instinct, Scarlet Sins is
raw emotion. As both NuVynska and Bishop note,
when expressing personal experience through
music, such a sincerity and honesty can only
result in the dynamic authority evidenced on their
debut.
“I express myself though my lyrics. That’s my
therapy,” says NuVynska. “We all have issues we’
re going through. You grow from it. It’s cathartic.”
“The songs may be inspired by sad things,”
concludes Bishop. “But we’re taking negative life
moments and making something positive. This
album is a document of that; a moment in time.”
After an opening slot for Motley Crue and a
Molson Canadian Keg Event under their belts;
several new sponsors (Seymour Duncan, Evans,
D’addario, Amp Clamp, M.A.C., Schwarzkopf
Professional, Ernie Ball, Zoogee) as well as new
management, Aucoin Globe, aboard; and a
second album in the works, Scarlet Sins has
planted the seed for world domination. Prepare
yourself – Scarlet Sins are here to cleanse you.

SCARLET SINS: Scarlet Sins
http://cdbaby.com/cd/scarletsins2

"Scarlet Sins are 4 girls who will not hesitate to rip you a
new one!! They're hot, they're loud and they are good.
Really f%@#ing good!!"
- Scott Penfold, Q107fm On-Air Personality, Toronto
"Scarlet Sins is a band that reaches back into the roots
of the rock, metal and industrial traditions and pull out a
fist full of sinfully sonic sounds conjuring a tempest of
music that floods your soul like an infinite ocean chasing
the phoenix--their live performance is like a flooding
flight of fire..."
-Al Soni, Metal Canvas CHUO 89.1fm, Ottawa
Devoid of sincerity, intensity, soul and attitude, the
current hard rock landscape leaves much to be desired.
Enter Scarlet Sins.
Driven by hardship and loss, the members of Scarlet
Sins have fostered the hope and belief that music will
save all.
"Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white
as snow."
Their journey began with an excerpt from a church
scripture and is now embodied by four women with
reavers atop their shoulders. Since autumn 2004 the
Sins have claimed their ground across Southern
Canada and garnered praise from all who witness.
The story is far from over.
Poised for success in 2007 with a new lineup and a
brand-new album in the works - produced, engineered
and mixed by Rich Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Mick
Jagger) - Scarlet Sins plan to bring North America and
their growing international fan base to their knees.
Prepare yourself - Scarlet Sins are here to cleanse you.
