FLASH: FOR YOUR SINS – DEA MATRONA

L
Dea Matrona - For Your Sins

For Your Sins is the victorious debut album of Dea Matrona, and a real gem. Review of this unmissable record.

FOR YOUR SINS – DEA MATRONA

Alarming guitar and bass riffs and two enchanting and catchy vocals… here are Belfast’s duo Dea Matrona, opening their debut album For Your Sins. I find everything I need in this first track, Stuck on You. Besides, the contrast between powerful riffs and clear vocals doesn’t stop here. Stamp on It picks up from blues and classic rock when Red Button comes back on a dark atmosphere with its unforgettable chorus. I fell for it straight away. Childhood friends Mollie McGinn and Orlaith Forsythe are also sharing and switching instruments between the songs, each pouring their own passion into them each time.

Now, rock anthems are not the extent of their repertoire. The summery Every Night I Want You comes to tickle their funk and pop strings. Glory, Glory (I am Free) turns to folk and adds some beautiful orchestral instant to it. Won’t Feel Like This Forever is made of traditional folk, and Dead Man’s Heart steps into country territory. These songs are pretty noticeable, fresh and surprising as set between some heavier tracks like So Damn Dangerous, Wilderness, and the excellent bluesy Get My Mind Off. Here, Dea Matrona is confirming how flexible they can get with genres.

Another favourite of mine is Did Nobody Ever Love You? Its infectious chorus is unmatched, and its cheeky attitude is beautifully highlighted by the bass lines. It’s an unmissable song to me. To end their first album, the duo has chosen Black Rain, with a sweet introduction, and an engaging chorus, it’s the perfectly balanced sum-up of what they’ve done so far. For Your Sins will convince more than fans and curious ears, and Dea Matrona is a band to follow closely. Will they save us from our sins, or add to the list? Maybe both! Don’t miss them!
