Hark and behold, all ye supporters of the darkest of Metal, the time has finally come. 4 years after the sheer onslaught which was InchSumerian PromisesInch, Sijjin return with their 2nd opus entitled InchHelljjin CombatInch. The German/Basque trio has delved into depths absolute, focusing their lens on the most antediluvian variety of Death Metal while bringing up a derivative of evil Thrash with utmost evil intent. The album conjures it's own life of satanic imagery, diabolical debauchery and biblical fatalism. Sijjin follow the firm path they once took but permanently turn to the south of heaven. Recorded live at BlackStorm Studios in Karrantza, Basque Country, the new songs brim over with satanic energy, countless tempo changes, vile twists and turns, a demanding instrumental performance and riffs that drag you directly to the lowest point in hell. On top of that, blessed with abysmal strength as it seems, Gericke's vocals never sounded as raspy and malevolent as on InchHelljjin CombatInch, or to put it simple, dirty as F**k. Adorned with an authentic and completely dry 80s analog sounding production, the record takes aim like fallen angels, storming the vaults in high heaven. In stark contrast to the tracks on InchSumerian PromisesInch, Sijjin's newer direction focuses on more extensive song structures as practiced by the godfathers of mid 80s Metal insanity, bringing such infamous names as Infernäl Mäjesty, Nasty Savage, Possessed, very early Slayer or Megadeth to mind. In conclusion while seeking combat in hell, the trio of Sijjin has once more ultimately testified to be the trident in the left hand of the devil. So mote it be! Album Tracks 1. Fear Not the Tormentor 2. Dakhma Curse 3. Trance of the Mummified 4. Death Opens the Grave 5. Religious Insanity Denies Slavery 6. Horrific Distortions 7. Five Blades 8. The Southern Temple

After the scenes of carnage left by last year's two track EP, 'The Concurrent Cycle', Sijjeel have returned once again with more sounds of otherworldly horror - this time a full album of mind-breaking, soul-burning death metal of the very darkest hues. More deeply steeped in the essence of terror than ever before, Sijjeel have invoked the ineffable, the unspeakable... The 'Affiliation of Horrid Containment'! Drinking deeply from a well of inspiration whose waters are black with the blood of old gods and the effluence of devils, Sijjeel have summoned into existence an album of horror and madness such as other bands only glimpse in their nightmares. From the first notes of it's nerve-stripping instrumental intro through to the last dying embers of the climactic InchImpaled Upon the PyreInch, 'Affiliation of Horrid Containment' is a behemothic black monument of agony made manifest. Each song is a new vision of chaos, be it the jagged blades of InchAbominable CaptivationInch or InchTorment Upon Their ExistenceInch - a cascade of warped grotesqueries that finally breaks open into bludgeoning blows of malignant dissonance. Hussain Akbar spins riffs from his guitar like the entwined entrails of innocents, while the bass of Lukas Kaminski is an abyssal beast, rearing up to inflict wanton stab wounds on the songs' tortured structures as the world-swallowing voice of Floor van Kuijk roars it's incantations of insanity from the darkness. Sijjeel have invoked another death metal plague from beyond the void... Continuing their blood pact with Comatose Music, Sijjeel will unleash 'Affiliation of Horrid Containment' on July 5th. Mixed and mastered by the band's own Floor Van Kuijk at his infamous GLDCHN Studios for maximum, soul-scarring impact and wrapped in the eye-gouging artwork of Rudi Gorgingsuicide, this album is set to bring a new age of darkness to the death metal undergrou
