UMUR
"Sin Will Find You Out" is the debut full-length studio album by US speed metal act Original Sin. The album was released through Cobra Records in 1986. The history of the band is quite interesting, as Original Sin was promoted as an all-female speed metal act (which was quite unusual for the time) and photos of the band showed an all-female band, but in reality it´s only lead vocalist Danielle Draconis (real name: Danae DeFeis and sister of Virgin Steele vocalist David DeFeis) who is of the female sex. The remaining band members (all working under female pseudonyms) are all males. Some of them normally working with DeFeis brother in Virgin Steele, but all three of them also recorded the 1986 Exorcist album "Nightmare Theatre" with David DeFeis. The latter also acts as producer on "Sin Will Find You Out" which completes the circle.

If you´re familiar with the "Nightmare Theatre" album from Exorcist, the music style on "Sin Will Find You Out" won´t come as a huge surprise, as the two albums are very similar in terms of the instrumentation and overall speed metal music style. The difference is of course that Draconis provides the music on "Sin Will Find You Out" with a female touch, which the slightly more raw "Nightmare Theatre" didn´t have. Draconis is a relatively raw and staccato delivering speed metal vocalist though, so don´t expect angelic lead vocals here.

"Sin Will Find You Out" features a raw, organic, and well sounding production job, which suits the rawness of the material well. I´d describe it more or less as the sister album to "Nightmare Theatre" and I rate them both pretty equally in terms of quality and listening satisfaction. A good quality release and a 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
