From their 4th full album, THE BEAUTiFUL PEOPLE, released in April 2016.

It’s also included on their 3rd mini album, i AGAINST i, and is one of their staple songs at live shows.

The band leads a dance they’ve dubbed the “Monkey Dance,” where everyone moves their hands up and down with gestures like a monkey.

Alongside the loud sound, the synthesizer riff leaves a particularly strong impression.

From their second full album, SEEDS OF HOPE, released in October 2011.

It’s the album’s lead track and their masterpiece that brought SiM to a wide audience.

Up until then, their sound had been heavily reggae-influenced, but this song marked their shift toward the so-called loud rock that was just starting to catch fire at the time, and it quickly became the catalyst for them to race up the ladder of success.

From the 3rd full album “PANDORA,” released in October 2013.

The only ballad on the album.

The title “Rosso & Dry” comes from a cocktail made by mixing two types of Cinzano (vermouth): Rosso and Dry.

The slowly unfolding sound and the highly message-driven lyrics leave a strong impression.

From the 2nd full album “SEEDS OF HOPE,” released in October 2011.

A re-recorded version of the song of the same name included on the 2nd single “Murderer,” released in March 2009.

It’s a track where heavy, headbanging riffs and reggae’s characteristic laid-back groove take turns stepping forward, blending beautifully and sparking a chemical reaction.
