UMUR
"Sinsaenum" is an eponymously titled EP/single release by multi-national death metal act Sinsaenum. It was released through earMUSIC in June 2016 to promote the forthcoming release of the band´s debut full-length studio album "Echoes of the Tortured" which was released a month later in July 2016. The EP/single features the non-album track "Death Is the Beginning" and "The Forgotten One", the latter which was included on "Echoes of the Tortured".

Stylistically this is early 90s influenced US death metal. Artists like Morbid Angel, Angelcorpse, and other technically well playing, brutal, and sharp death metal bands from that era are valid references. Sinsaenum don´t offer much innovative or unique here, but the songwriting is memorable, effective, and powerful, and the performances are flawless. The performances are actually more than just flawless, they are high class on all positions. Looking at the lineup and the names involved in the project (among them Joey Jordison, Attila Csihar, and Frédéric Leclercq) that´s not surprising though. The drumming is through the roof and the many well played lead guitar parts deserve a mention too.

Two songs aren´t much available material to evaluate an artist, but I think in this case the material featured on this EP/single display exactly what you can expect on the forthcoming "Echoes of the Tortured" album, and that´s high quality US death metal. A 3.5 - 4 star (75%) rating is deserved.
