This week on CHRIS AKIN PRESENTS... INTERVIEWS, Chris Akin had the privilege of sitting down with a true titan of heavy music, Frédéric Leclercq. Many of you know Frédéric from his incredible work with Kreator, but in this episode, we dive deep into his other powerful project, Sinsaenum.
Frédéric joined us to discuss Sinsaenum's latest release, "In Devastation," an album that is profoundly personal. He shared how the raw emotional pain of losing his father, as well as his dear friend and bandmate Joey Jordison (the legendary drummer of Slipknot and Murderdolls), became a driving force behind the songwriting.
We explore the sensitive topic of how their new drummer handled the immense task of filling the shoes of a legend like Jordison, the exciting new elements they've incorporated into the Sinsaenum sound, and the realities of touring around Frédéric's incredibly busy schedule. This is a conversation that goes beyond the music, touching on grief, creativity, and the enduring power of friendship.
