Versione 1
Rating: Of bastards and saints; of demons and death.
This is all told in this short EP that Sinister released in 1996.
The Dutch land is their nation of origin; one of the European bands I have appreciated the most when it comes to Death Metal. On par with much more well-known and acclaimed groups like Entombed, Carcass, and Napalm Death. With a fierce and aggressive sound at least until the end of the nineties; and live a stunning war machine that left no survivors (I experienced it on my then-young skin!).
"Reborn From Hatred" is an instrumental introduction of just a few dozen seconds. You breathe a heavy, black, and ruthless air; and the gates of Hell swing open with the subsequent "Bastard Saints," which in the first part is played with barely restrained control. Until the sudden explosion, the turn towards that abrasive and piercing Death sound: always an exhilarating characteristic of the Dutch. Mike's voice is a cavernous and oppressive growl launching fierce barks against the Church; Aad's militaristic and lightning-fast drumming supports the heavy and ultra-violent work of the guitar-bass duo. In other words, one of my favorite songs not only by Sinister but of all Death Metal.
You find yourself in a sort of anxious wait with the mid-tempo "Rebels Dome," and you arrive at the pestilential sound hurricane represented by the listening of the last two songs; "Cross The Styx" and "Epoch Of Denial." Two tracks already known and published on their debut album of 1991, that "Cross The Styx" which is still among the pillars of the most extreme Metal. They mainly want to demonstrate their growth from a technical point of view: five years have passed, and even the production has become clearer, more compact. Two vile, muddy tracks that kill...BUY OR DIE...
Ad Maiora.
Tracklist and Lyrics
04 Cross The Styx (05:01)
Rise into the elder world
the burning purgatory
deadly cosmic terror
the lowest dephts of hell
I signed the book of blood
by will - now that's a fact
marked by the numbers
of predominance
lead me to the path of perfect celebration
I've been reborn in a world of consumption
Arisen in blasphemy
mutilation I need
consume souls eternally
for my torment they will bleed
Realm of darkthrone
netherworld of doom
cruel horned spirits
everlasting ghouls
Flowen from the dephts
dark horned mutations
million tied up souls
infernal slaves of manipulation
Cross the Styx
I call on thee
blind idiot god of chaos
goat with a thousand young
god of perfection
Cross the Styx
Pumping the agony through my veins
as perpetual pleasure it enters my brain
swallow the lunatics of god's creation
their tumors create a sacrificial lust
grime crippled putrescent infants
melted and fused by demonical abcesses
reincarnation of perfection
behind the forbidden sinister gates
Souls drowned in the blood of Oblivion
dragged in the stream of the inflicted access
zymotic slime of substracted skin
into damnation tortured infinity
(lead : Ron)
(lead : Andrˆ)
Cross the Styx
05 Epoch Of Denial (04:14)
Epoch of denial
Visual deceit
two horned grown in man
disembody thee
Entreaty of lies
from her melting face
insolent contempt
to divide god's ways
Rise to the horns of capricorn
burn at the stake witch burn
inside the womb dies her unborn
melt into one repent
Execrate the human whore of beast
rise from the blackened soil
Reborn the epoch of truth
torture purified the soul
virgin cleansed from demon seed
no longer alive but free
Sacrifice
innocent life
your fear of god
is fed by superstition
I summon on thee
victims of inquisition
gather and feed from the corpse
(lead : Ron)
Submit to the call of the beast
rise from the blackened soil
Reborn the epoch of truth
torture purified the soul
virgin cleansed from demon seed
no longer alive but free
