Sijjin - Sumerian Promises - VINYL LP

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
