Hey metal friends, I found this album ENTER THE GATES from the Norway Heavy Metal band SINSID, and I want to share with you my review about this new record.
Initially formed in 2012, SINSID's influences include anything from the blues and rock to metal and Viking or thrash, but the very core of the band is, unmistakably, traditional heavy metal. The band's debut came out in 2018, and "Mission from Hell" triumphantly introduced SINSID to the metal world.
A piece of exceptional music! That was the first word that crossed my mind when I pushed "play" to listen to their ENTER THE GATES album.
Sometimes it is excellent when you find a heavy metal band, but if that band recorded a superb record is two times great! The music of the ENTER THE GATES album has an honest spirit with a passionate, creative work and a visionary solemn metal melody that seep into your brain. I have no doubts about it.
I say this because ENTER THE GATES has fresh and power melodies, epic moments, and catchy metallic choruses.
The art design of this CD album is pretty nice. The cover art is a beautiful representation of strength and power, I don't know the story behind that, but that is what I see. I love it. I like the pictures inside the booklet.
"Enter the Gates" is out on September 18 via Pitch Black Records on CD, Digital and Vinyl. The Vinyl edition will come out in special orange vinyl and will be limited to 100 numbered copies with each copy, also including a download code.
They deserve 9.5/10. Go & Buy it!
