So I want to start this post off with a bit of a disclaimer. I work with Secret Sin records. I don't say this as a way of showing off or anything, but rather as an acknowledgment that naturally, I want the bands on this label to do well. It makes sense that I would want to use every platform possible to aid in that right? Well, I want to tell you that even if I were not a part of this label I would be making a post about Secret Sin as well as the bands that are on it. When I did my first post about Angels of Liberty I still wasn't even involved at the time.
In my Angels of Liberty post I spoke a lot about my experiences with Voe and Scarlet and about the band, however, I didn't go into detail about the label they started. The original bands were Angels of Liberty, Snakedance, Fear Incorporated, Minnie d'Arc and New Zero God. Between 2011 and 2016 music was released by Secret Sin Records. There was always a DIY feel to their releases and they were known to throw in little extras that made every purchase feel special. What happened next is well documented. When tragedy struck Secret Sin was all but dead. Before Voe's passing Angels of Liberty had completed a lot of new material. The plan was to release another album, but of course that never happened.
This brings us to the current reincarnation of Secret Sin Records. A few friends who have stayed in contact with Scarlet gathered with the purpose of getting that unreleased material out there and continuing the label that Voe and Scarlet had started. Scarlet Powers from Angels of Liberty, Wayne Reid and Carfax Haddo, from the band Last Dusk, along with two long time Angels of Liberty friends DJ Xiola and June Moyer. I came on board some time later when it came time for a website. Once the ball got rolling word spread quickly and before long Secret Sin Records officially had on it's roster Angels of Liberty, Last Dusk, NU:N and the Stella Project. While getting everything in place for the release of the new Angels of Liberty ,Last Dusk released the first album under the new Secret Sin regime (although officially we are declaring the AOL release as number 1), "As the Young Die". The pre order for the Angels of Liberty album "Servant of the Grail" is under way with the official release coming soon and all is going according to plan.
The next couple of blog posts are going to be Secret Sin Record bands. I will be the first to admit, prior to having started working with SSR I had never heard Last Dusk. I had heard a bit of NU:N ,but not nearly enough to say I was well versed. In the last few weeks I have listened to both bands in depth and although I work with them, I do indeed recommend them as a fan as I have these other Artists I have posted about. That and let's be honest what kind of a friend would I be if I didn't add their music to my blog haha. Below I will post links to all things Secret Sin.
