SINISTER Working On New Material

June 11, 2007

Dutch death metallers SINISTER have issued the following update:

"It has been more then a year since we took the time to write something personal again on this page. Not so strange, since we were extremely busy the last twelve months. We visited almost 30 countries this year for the promotion of 'Afterburner' so you can probably imagine how busy it actually was.

"Meanwhile Aad [Kloosterwaard, vocals] found the time to become a daddy some months ago, so Alex [Paul, guitar] (who has a 3-year-old daughter running around) is not the only one in the band anymore who likes to talk about dipers and duplo, haha!

"About the new album; Alex wrote on this moment three complete songs with a total running time of 22 minutes!!! Yes… the new songs are longer then the stuff we did before. One of them is even longer then 10 minutes. Musically it will follow the direction of 'Afterburner', which means fast catchy blastbeats combined with slow atmospheric melodic parts.

"Unfortunately, we haven't got any time yet to practice them as a band. However, we will take it slower on the concerts the next few months to work on this situation. Our goal is to make a demo this summer with four tracks so we can get an idea how they will sound on the album.

"Also a word to our Mexican fans; this August we will visit your beautiful country to do some shows. Mexico City has been confirmed and hopefully we can add two more gigs. It has been four years since our last visit so it would be great to see you guys and girls again."

A preview clip of the first-ever live DVD from SINISTER, entitled "Prophecies Denied", has been posted online at YouTube. Released this past January in North America via MVD Visual, the disc was shot with seven cameras on August 24, 2006 at the Stodola Club in Warsaw, Poland and was made available as a standard DVD and a DVD+CD limited-edition package. The DVD also includes an interview with the band's frontman Aad Kloosterwaard and guitarist Alex Paul as well as a documentary, "Angels of the Apocalypse", plus rare footage.

SINISTER's latest CD, "Afterburner", was released last year through Nuclear Blast Records.

SINISTER's current lineup consists of Aad Kloosterwaard, drummer and founder of the band, on vocals, Alex Paul on guitar, Paul Beltman (ex-JUDGEMENT DAY) on drums, and Bas van den Bogaard on bass.

The band, who re-signed with Nuclear Blast back in 2002 after a one-album stint with the now-defunct Hammerheart Record, has already announced the working title of its next album: "No Mercyful God".
