The cover of SOSthe latest studio work by Millencolinspeaks clearly: the little bird that has appeared on many of the Swedish band's graphics since the first demo is this time a little battered and flying on a planet on the brink of nuclear and environmental disaster. But no need to worry, all is not lost. For over thirty years the training – Nikola Sarcevic on voice and bass, Mathias Färm and Erik Ohlsson to guitars and Fredrik Larzon on drums – has forged his own distinctive sound, but with SOS it pushes towards unexplored territories and once again confirms its ability to survive fashions and trends. The secret? Solid writing, creative arrangements and an enduring friendship that shines through in every note of the album.
“When it comes to creative things you have to go down paths you've never seen before, and that can be a big challenge when you've been in a band as long as we have,” he explains. Sarcevic. «It was very important that these pieces were not a copy of what we have written in the past, and I think each of them has something very original». From the children's choir that opens the album's title track to the vocoder-tinged chorus of Yanny & Laurel passing through the sounds in style Descendants Of Sour Days, SOS is full of noteworthy moments, but a lot of work was needed to achieve this result. «Initially we had about thirty drafts of songs», he explains Farmwho took care of making them become true songs of the gods Millencolin. «This process lasted about six months. In a way it's like painting a picture. I would sit at home working on demos on my computer, slowly building these songs, because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to the final product.”
THE Millencolin began as a group of awkward Swedish teenagers who dreamed of skateboarding and California beaches, and debuted in 1994 with Tiny Tunes on the Swedish label Burning Heartdistributed in the United States by Epitaph Records. The long-distance bond with the historic label founded by Brett Gurewitz culminates in 2000 with the publication of Pennybridge Pioneersconsidered one of the classic albums of melodic hardcore at the end of the millennium and which allowed the Swedes to embark on their first world tour. Since then i Millencolin have become one of the leading bands of the genre, with nine albums under their belt and a very long series of participations in festivals such as Warped Tours.
