Sinister=The World's Most Brutal Death Metal Band!

"Sinister's latest album Aggressive Measures is one of the most brutal albums I have ever listened to. The guitar work is amazing. Bart is a very aggressive guitar play that doesn't just chug along on the low-E string. He puts together some of the craziest riffs along with awesome solos and dive bombs on the wammy bar. The best part of this album is the killer crunch sound that the guitar makes. This album is a good example of what Pantera would sound like if they played death metal. The drumming on this album is superb. Aad must be one of the most physically fit drummers in the world. He has hyper blast beats and quick time changes in his arsonal. All of which he uses on this album. Eric, the vocalist, has a deep growling voice, yet he is understandable. Sinister starts this album with piano playing on the intro ('The Upcoming). But don't be confused this song is only a minute long. After that it is pure hate from tracks 2-9. Track 2, Aggressive Measures has this ending like none I have ever heard of before. I would tell you about it, but I'll let you judge it for yourself. All in all Aggressive Measures is an amazing moment in the art of death metal."

BEST SINISTER ALBUM YET!

"I first put this cd on this afternoon and it shreds! This is better than HATE because it is faster, heavier and the songs are more varied in tone. The new singer grinds his way through brutal song after song. The solos blew me away with technicality. If you like old sinister you will like this even more!"

Perhaps their best album...

"Aggressive Measures is a claasic slab of brutal death metal. While I'm not the biggest fan of the dutch scene, this is one of my favorite death metal bands ever. While a slightly different approach from their first 3 records, the music is faster with a bit more technical prowess involved, the grooves are heavier, and Eric's (one time vocalist for Severe Torture) growls are menacing. The bass guitar is really low in the mix, but I guess it's better that way since keeping the bass down preserves the clarity of the guitar riffs. Buy this and you will NOT be disappointed."
