Description
‘Sunrise To Sundown’ is the ninth studio album by Swedish stoner rock band Spiritual Beggars, released on 18th March 2016 by Century Media Records.
Traditionally, Spiritual Beggars albums always turn out a little bit different from their predecessors. ‘Sunrise To Sundown’ is no exception, to the point that the album’s diversity was a cause for concern for Michael Amott (founder and guitarist).
“When we come together, we sound a certain way, but it’s definitely more diverse,” Amott says of the album. “There are a couple of songs that actually go back to the ’90s era, very riff-oriented, no traditional song structure, and some longer songs. I was a little worried about that initially because I was wondering if it was going to make any sense to people. Listening to the mixes while on the road with Arch Enemy, it makes sense to me now. It sounds like Spiritual Beggars.”
Spiritual Beggars is a long running success in spite of – or perhaps because of – Amott’s ongoing full metal assault with Arch Enemy. He has always insisted that he would never do two bands that sound similar, and credits Spiritual Beggars for being the haven he can get his rocks off doing something totally different.
“A lot of people can’t wrap their heads around being able to go from playing melodic death metal to rock,” says Amott. “I just have two sides to my musical personality. It’s still me playing guitar; I’m just expressing myself in a slightly different way.”
