Artist: THE
SIN:DECAY
Album: Rehabilitation
Year: 2006
So, what do we have here this time...? The Sin:Decay is
a young and modern industrial metal band hailing from
Finland. There is not much info available online from
this band, so I just mention some things that I found on
their MySpace profile. This little orchestra exists of
three people, and they say to sound like ‘glamorous
anguish’. ‘Rehabilitation’ is the first promo release of
this band, which was mainly used to inform various press
and labels about their existence.
‘We Are All Slaves’ already illustrates the path this
band clearly follows. Cold, though catchy keys are mixed
with deep protruding riffs and dark, atmospheric vocals.
A band like Type O Negative comes in mind here and there,
although this band has a more powerful sound. Talking
about a powerful sound, the next song on the promo
called ‘Celestial Revulsion’ has a very powerful start.
The thrashy guitarwork fits the music surprisingly well,
and gives this song a certain identity which you cannot
deny. The chorus is extremely cool, where the thrashy
guitars meet up with the cold sampling... it gives you
the feeling of a snowstorm at a gig of Destruction!
‘Cold Dead Skin’ is the next track of the record.
Although the title might gives you the impression of a
dark and doomy track, the track proves the opposite.
Atmospheric and cold music is provided, and the song
even has a little bit of a catchy attitude. The vocals
match perfectly with the sampling on this song (just
like it does on this whole record by the way), and the
song turned out to be a perfect one to dream away on.
Trust me, I tried it already! ‘Deathlike Addiction’
contains pounding drumwork from the beginning, and when
they dissapear for a litte time when they got replaced
by some industrial sampling you already know that this
track is a killer one again. Dark parts are followed by
beautiful atmospheric sampling and even one part where
you can practise your headbanging on! ‘Give It Away’
starts with the most heavy guitars on this record. The
bassriffs are like a heartbeat on this record, and the
cold sampling that seems particular for this band hasn’t
dissapeared in this track either. ‘C76i8k76’ is
definitely the track with the weirdest track title. And
to be honest, it sounds very different from the other
tracks too. Some exmerimental, dark electro/EBM likely
stuff is provided in here, with whispering and
thundering vocals all in one. A track that sucks you out
of the world the preverious tracks brought you in, so
you can safely land on your own feet again. In the end,
this promo turned out to be everything you hope for when
you hear a new band. Some descriptions of mine: unique.
Talented. Special. Seriously kickass. Well, I am sure
you get the point now: this band managed to create an
own, fresh sound with their first promo already! Make
sure to keep an eye on this trio, I am sure I will! And
soon you can get hold of your own release of The
Sin:Decay, because a split with ...And Oceans and Havoc
Unit is ready to be released!
