Band: Sinner
Album: There Will Be Execution

Spielzeit: 45:15 min
Plattenfirma/ Vertrieb: Nuclear Blast/ EastWest
Vergleichbare Bands: einzigartig
Wertung: 6/ 6
Endlich ist sie da! Selten habe ich einer Scheibe so entgegengefiebert, wie dem neuen Album von SINNER - und was soll ich sagen? - Die Erwartungen an "There Will Be Execution" wurden nicht nur erfüllt, sondern sogar deutlich übertroffen. Die Langrille enthält 11 Edelstahl-Happen, die es faustdick hinter bzw. in den Ohren haben. So wird z. B. auf der ersten Hälfte des Albums mit Songs wie dem überwältigenden Opener "Higher Level Of Violence", dem hemmungslosen Groover "Die On Command" (erinnert im Chorus stellenweise an selige ACCEPT-Zeiten)  und "Finalizer" (Killer-Song) mit Hammerriffs und Doublebass-Attacken wahrlich nicht gegeizt, während uns mit "Liberty Of Death" ein Stampfer in bester SINNER-Manier erwartet. Lediglich bei "The River" (Mitsing-Hymne mit dezent-modernen Elementen) und der abschließenden Ballade "Crown Of Thorns" schlägt die Band um Chef Mat Sinner etwas ruhigere Töne an. "There Will Be Execution" ist mit Abstand das härteste und kraftvollste Album, das SINNER in ihrer mittlerweile fast 20jährigen Bandgeschichte veröffentlicht haben. Absolute Kaufpflicht für Fans des traditionellen Metal. Yes, I'm a sinner!
Herbert "Sonny" Waldherr

June 20th - we know it for a long time, but now it's time to reveal the fifth member of the new Sinner line-up and Henny Wolter will stay with the band. Henny recorded "The end of sanctuary" with the band and played the tour, but what you maybe don't know, Henny was a member of the recording line-up of "Bottom Line" - one of the most exciting albums of the band's career. Henny & Mat wrote some great stuff for the new album like "Requiem for a Sinner" or "Die on command". These days, we're focused on the pre production of the album and Tom & Mat wrote some brandnew very heavy stuff for the album like "Black Monday" or "God raises the dead". The recordings are 3 weeks away and we're really looking out to rock the house together again!
 

April 10th - the forth member of the new Sinner line up is revealed and please welcome back Sinner/Saxon drummer legend Fritz Randow !
 

Feb 24th - a new Mat Sinner interview is online - weired, but the truth - check it out and give us your comment on the new Finalsin guestbook !

Sinner's version of "The Sun Goes Down" appears on the Phil Lynott tribute album:

Half of the profit will go directly to: The Roisin Dubh Trust Fund The whole idea with this release is to commemorate the legacy of one of the finest songwriters & poets in the history of rock, and also to give a helping hand to the Roisin Dubh Trust Fund to raise money for a statue over Philip Lynott in his hometown of Dublin. Philip's mother Philomena has put down alot of love & hard work all these years to keep the memory of Philip alive, and we at Record Heaven and all the artists participating on this CD, feels that hopefully we can give a helping hand in this effort.
