‘A Violent Case Of Despair’
Lyrics by Jon Pyres
Prepare for a riveting dive into the shadowy realms of music as Violet Sin, renowned for their uncanny fusion of melancholy and headbanging rhythms, unleash their latest auditory masterpiece ‘A Violent Case of Despair’.
This time, they’re amplifying the intensity, speed, and intricacy of their sound, proving that it’s possible to go bigger and bolder while luxuriating in the depths of haunting melodies.
With their third single, the band bids farewell to genre constraints and instead embraces an unapologetically unbridled creative process.
The stage is set for a plunge into an abyss of emotion – can the world handle the impending deluge of melancholic moshing they’re about to usher in?

VIOLET SIN
has released single
‘Fading Love’
Composed by: Jon Pyres, Veli-Matti Kananen, Jimi Myöhänen & Ari Levola
Lyrics by: Jon Pyres
Expertly weaving heart-wrenching melodies into this hauntingly beautiful, and at times surprisingly brutal track, Violet Sin captures the essence of heartbreak and loss in a way that will make you want to curl up in a ball and cry…but in the best way possible.
The vocals and ethereal instrumentals transport you to a world of dark beauty and raw emotion, conjuring up images of starless nights and turbulent emotions.
So grab some tissues and a glass of wine, and let yourself get lost in the pain and beauty of lost love.
Violet Sin has gained recognition in the metal scene with their debut single ‘The Night is Dark (And Full of Memories)’ which received positive feedback from metal music media internationally.
The band’s unique sound, a combination of 80s influenced singing, Scandinavian melancholy, and modern metalcore, has garnered attention and praise from critics and fans alike.
Founded by Veli-Matti Kananen (Kalmah) and Jon Pyres (Lycanthro, Threads of Fate), Violet Sin is a group that aims to create melancholic metal that incorporates various musical elements.
After enlisting the talents of Jimi Myohanen (Se, Josta Ei Puhuta / Kaera / Swansong / Sadistik Forest) and Ari Levola (RASA), the band set out to record their first EP in late 2022, which is set to be released in 2023 under Inverse Records.

All it takes is one 80’s influenced singer from Florida to make a melancholic Finnish metal band to sound like non-Finnish in a very haunting and beautiful way.
The debut single of Violet Sin is definitely modern and metalin terms of production but at the same time the song runs through the past decades of music.
There’s 00’s metalcore, low tuned guitars, retro synths and a big melodic chorus.
In addition no click tracks were used in the recordings to get the live feel that is needed in today’s metal.
Violet Sin is the brain child of Veli-Matti Kananen (Kalmah) and Jon Pyres (Lycanthro, Threads of Fate).
Aiming to create melancholic metal that incorporates various, different musical elements, the duo began writing material during late 2016.
Eventually enlisting the talents of Jimi Myohanen (Se, Josta Ei Puhuta / Kaera / Swansong / Sadistik Forest) and Ari Levola (RASA) and thus obtaining a full lineup, the group set out to finally record what would become their first EP during the late months of 2022, to be released in 2023 under Inverse Records.
