Sinister/The Carnage Ending/Massacre Records/2012 CD Review

  Sinister  are  a  band  from  the  Netherlands  that  has  been  featured  before  in  this  zine  with  a  history that  goes  back  20  years  along  with  a  musical  style  that  I  would  describe  as  being  dark,  heavy  and  fast  old  school  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2012  album  "The  Carnage  Ending"  which  was  released  by  Massacre  Records  with  5  cover  tunes  as  the  bonus  tracks.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  brutal  sounding  blast  beats  being thrown  into  the  music  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  is  coming  out  of  the  guitars,  as  for  the  synths  they  are  only  used  on  the  intro  and  they  bring  a  very  dark  and  evil  sound  to  the  music.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  old  school  style  death  metal  riffs  that  are  very  dark,  heavy  and  evil  sounding  with  a  good  amount  of  melody  being  thrown  into  the  riffing  in  addition  there  is  a  great  amount  of  thrash  influences  on  the  cover  tunes,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  chaotic  sounding  90's  death  metal  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  some  spoken  word  samples  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  lyrics  cover  dark,  occult  and  anti  religion  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy  and  professional  sound  to  it.

  In  my  opinion  this  is  another  great  recording  from  Sinister  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  band,  you  should  enjoy  this  album.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Transylvania"  "Oath  Of  Rebirth" "Blood  Ectasy"  and  "Face  Fate"  which  is  a  Bloodfeast  cover.  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
