Massacre\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
SINISTER returns with album number nine, or the third after their comeback. They started out in 1989, and debuted in 1991 with \u201cAcross the Styx\u201d. After several vocalist changes, with e.g. Rachel van Mastrigt-Heyser singing betwixt 2001-03, original member Aad Kloosterwaad, vocals, restarted the band together with guitarist Alex Paul, bassist Bas van den Bogaard and drummer Edwin van den Eeden. Ridiculously heavy death metal is offered here according to the info, I press play\u2026<\/p>\n
A somber intro with distorted narrative voice opens lead heavy. SINISTER will not reduce their heaviness, or the meanness. They have changed and disintegrated but risen again, quite similar sounding apart from the gender differences in vocal styles. Drummer Edwin works hard and it all feels quite ok. I have heard a stronger opener than \u201cInto the Blind World\u201d from this lot though. Aad growls in a husky fashion, sometimes a bit too muffled for me. Alex churns out riff after riff, but turns melodic in the right moments, as in the part before the solo of \u201cThe Enemy of My Enemy\u201d. The plucky riffs are all very well thought-out and they have the necessary grooves most of the time. The grooviest moment is probably in the excellent \u201cAnatomie of a Catastrophy\u201d. The title track breathes SLAYER from the start, ominous, mosh-friendly and with a nice refrain it is a highlight. The exceptions on the album are the uninspired \u201cThe Hornet\u00b4s Nest\u201d and the directionless \u201cThe Living Sacrifice\u201d. But all in all this is entertainment on a high level from a born-again band. <\/p>\n
