Sinners Bleed is a Berlin based technical death and thrash metal band that was founded in 1997, split up in 2010 and has been active again since 2015.

history

The band was founded in 1997, with drummer Eric Krebs and guitarist Sebastian Ankert having known each other since 1993, when they were still playing in the band Frozen Emotions. In 1999 the demo The Awakening was released . Another followed in 2000 under the name Restless . To promote the demo, they performed with Haemorrhage , Profanity and Cryptopsy . This was followed by a self-financed album called From Womb to Tomb , recorded in the Berlin Soundforge studio with producer Andreas Hilbert and released in April 2003. Shortly afterwards, guitarist Pele Geltat left the line-up. For an appearance at the Fuck-the-Commerce Festival in the same year, Lille Gruber came in as a replacement. In 2004 the band was one of the few without a record deal who performed at the Inferno Metal Festival Norway . In the same year the band also took part in the Party.San and the Metal Battle of the Wacken Open Air . In April 2006 Vincent LaBoor joined as the new guitarist. On October 16, the band started working on the next album with Andreas Hilbert in the Soundforge recording studio. In 2007 the Mexican Priscila Serrano joined as a singer. A demo was then recorded, which contains the two songs Behind the Veil and Devouring Hatred . In the same year the group was represented again at the Fuck the Commerce. In December of that year the group played together with Six Feet Under , Nile , Finntroll and Belphegor in Berlin, this gig being part of the Metalfest tour held by these four bands. In 2008 the band played at the Death Feast Open Air . Since the band had problems to replace the singer Jan Geidner, who left in 2007, and since many members now had a family to look after, the band split up in 2010. After the dissolution, Sebastian Ankert continued to write songs over the years.

In 2015 the band got together again, with the re-founding suggested by Jan Geidner. In May 2019 the album Absolution was released via War Anthem Records . The line-up consists of the musicians of the original line-up, namely Eric Krebs on drums, Sebastian Ankert on electric guitar and Jan Geidner as singer. The new members are guitarist Arne Maneke and bassist Henrik "Fux" Fuchs. The album sometimes contains songs that are over ten years old and riffs that were created over 20 years ago. The songs had all been recorded in the band's own studio, with the exception of the drums, which, on the advice of Lille Gruber of Defeated Sanity , had been recorded in the Dailyhero Recordings studio in Berlin-Kreuzberg . The album had also been mixed there, for which Hannes Grossmann was responsible. For 2020 the group was confirmed again for Party.San, but the festival had to be canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany .

style

According to Metal Hammer , the band also uses elements from Thrash Metal in their Death Metal. Her influences would include groups like Suffocation , Death , Testament, and Sadus . Metal.de described From Womb to Tomb as a "brutal mixture of Death Metal with a few Thrash Metal elements". The band's own naming of influences such as cryptopsy, suffocation, sadus and death was agreed, as there are tonal similarities. However, Sinners Bleed avoid just copying these groups. The speed is mostly "fast to very fast". The "sawing guitars and the very hateful vocals" are also characteristic. In his review of the debut album, Patrick Schmidt from Rock Hard noted a technically demanding mixture of death and thrash metal. Playing the electric guitar is reminiscent of that of Death, which he described as "filigree [s] craft", but which "fortunately never degenerates into extreme tinkering". Overall, he described the album as a mixture of skeptic and all death releases. In a later edition, Schmidt reviewed Absolution and assigned it to Technical Death Metal. The album ties in seamlessly with its predecessor; he described it as a mixture of suffocation, decapitated and death in the Symbolic era . On the release, a “sophisticated guitar work” is mixed with a “technically outstanding, accentuated power drumming” and “wonderfully brutal vocals”. One issue later, Schmidt wrote that the album played technical death metal that could be classified between death, decapitated and obscura . In an interview with him, Eric Krebs stated that, in addition to classic technical and progressive death metal bands, he also counts younger bands such as Hour of Penance , Bloodtruth and Analepsy among his influences.
