Siamese frontman Mirza Radonjica has spoken to Rock Sound about the band's new album 'Dissolution', describing it as a deliberate return to a purer, less genre-blended rock sound after years of pushing boundaries within metalcore. He explains that the record marks an important step in his personal life, as he confronts long-standing anxieties and destructive patterns rooted in a difficult upbringing, rather than continuing to punish himself for them as on previous releases.

Radonjica reveals he grew up amid family abuse and violence, with an alcoholic father, and has long lived with an underlying fear of death that shaped his relationships and behaviour, including drinking and drug use. Rather than treating these traits as failures to be hidden or berated, as he did on earlier albums, he says writing openly about them for 'Dissolution' has helped him feel more whole, and that ageing has shown him he is more resilient than he once believed, despite recently experiencing severe anxiety.
