The band performed two US national tours in support of the album, with bands like Motörhead, Otep, and Ill Niño. Sister Sin also toured Europe with Arch Enemy and played at festivals like Sweden Rock and Norway Rock. In early 2010 they recorded a follow-up album entitled "True Sound Of The Underground" with producer Henrik Edenhed (of Dead by April, Lambretta etc.) which landed on number 96 at Top Heatseekers in the United States on June 22nd 2010

The Jinx
Sister Sin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you do hard time and don’t get turned?
Could the sun out there wash your blues away?
Can you wear those chains for one more day?
Can you live in this world and keep the jinx away?
Hate in your bones, blood on your hands
Now you used to be such a righteous man
And it´s hard to smile when you never win, when you never win
Shakin’ the jinx
If I´d say sorry would it make amends?
Or would it come right back to my face again?
You said that I failed to plan but did I plan to fail?
Doesn’t really matter anyways because I’m cursed that way, cursed I´d say
Such a long way down
And I know that it will always be there to make sure that I´ll fall to the ground
Shakin’ the jinx
Can you walk through fire and don’t get burned?
Can you do hard time and don’t get turned?
Could you wear these chains for just one day?
If I say I’m sorry would it make amends?
Would you throw it back in my face again?
Never failed to plan but did I plan to fail
It wouldn’t even matter anyways ’cause I’m cursed this way
Such a long way down
And I know you will always be there to make sure that I´ll fall to the ground
Still shakin’ the jinx
The lyrics of Sister Sin's song "The Jinx" reflect a sense of a curse that follows the singer wherever they go, hindering them from moving forward in life. The song begins with a series of questions directed at the listener, asking if they are capable of overcoming adversity and avoiding bad luck. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the questions are directed toward the singer themselves, who admits to being cursed with bad luck and failure, unable to escape it.
The second verse reveals that the singer is haunted by their past and consumed by the hatred and guilt they feel. They feel like no matter how hard they try, they continue to fall short, unable to break the cycle of bad luck that seems to follow them. The repeated phrase "shakin' the jinx" is a testament to their frustration and desire to break free from the curse that weighs them down.
In the final verse, the singer questions whether apologizing for their actions would make a difference, or if their mistakes are inevitable due to the curse that plagues them. The final line, "still shakin' the jinx," shows that despite their struggles, they are determined to keep trying to overcome their bad luck and move forward.
