Sinister - Afterburner (2006)


After a short split Sinister reformed in March/April 2005 due to letters from the fans around the world. A slight position change though. Former bassist Alex Paul moved to guitar, drummer Aad moved to vocals and newcomer Paul on drums. After the recordings of 'Afterburner', several promotional gigs, and after launching there DVD 'Prophecies Denied', which was taken in Poland, Paul left the band in late 2007 to pursue other interests.

A new record deal was signed with Massacre Records for an album to be recorded in May 2008 titled 'The Silent Howling' with Edwin van den Eeden on drums.The 'Legacy of Ashes' album, recorded in 2010, would be the last with Edwin and Alex. After some shows in South-Africa and Russia the band parted ways because of different opinions in the band.

Aad didn't hesitate and immediately he called his mates from project band Absurd Universe; Toep, Bastiaan, Mathijs and Dennis. Bastiaan, Aad and Toep knew each other already from the band Supreme pain. With this band they recorded 'Nemesis Enforcer'. Toep and Dennis knew each-other also from their cooperation in former bands, like Putrefied. Bastiaan and Mathijs are brothers ? So, putting this band together again with these guys, was just as logical as it could probably be.

In 2011 they started with recordings of 'The Carnage Ending' in Soundlodge with Jorg Uken. The band had to prove itself more than ever, after a serious lineup change. But the reactions were amazingly good and positive. With this record the band was back on track. Fans were even referring to Cross the Styx and the beginning of Sinister. Also with bookings agency D19, Sinister was able to play big shows and festivals like; 70.000 tons of metal cruise, Hell fest, Extreme Hate Festival Brazil and Eindhoven Metal Meeting.

After touring the Balkans and many festival shows in Italy and Germany, Sinister did not rest but started writing songs for the monster album 'The Post-Apocalyptic Servant', a CD which can be considered as the fastest and hardest work ever from Sinister. In 2014 recordings in Soundlodge were completed and Sinister started to promote this CD with a tour in Australia and many club shows in Europe. The critics were again amazingly good!!

After launching the 7 "EP 'The Unborn Dead', containing two cover songs of Novembers Doom and Grotesque in 2014, Sinister recorded a complete cover CD to celebrate the existence of the band for 25 years, not counting the breakup for two years. This CD was entitled 'Dark Memorials' and came out in 2015 and got great responses!

Heading for a new CD in 2017, Mathijs was forced to stop the band due to personal conditions and not much later the same applies for Bastiaan. Luckily Alesa (Aad's wife) was able to help the band with their mini tour in Brazil and some other great festivals in 2016 as Summer Dying Loud in Poland, gigs in Portugal and Spain, and so on. With Ricardo Falcon on guitar Sinister was on full strength again, for the live and shows and to work on the new songs for 'Syncretism', as Bastiaan stayed on the bands side to take responsibility for the 2/3 of the guitar parts on 'Syncretism'. In November 2016 recordings were done at Soundlodge with Jorg Uken again. A majestic dark album with 100% pure Death metal released in 2017.

In 2017 Sinister played at some great festivals as Netherlands Death Fest, In Flammen, Steelfest, Rockstad, Metal Days, Obscene Extreme and many others. Meanwhile Ghislain van der Stel was recruited on bass-guitar to join the squad. Touring South America with Pestilence, again the 70000tons of Metal and Maryland Deathfest were just few highlights that followed.
