Hailing from Belgium, VIOLENT SIN formed in 2016 to
honor and build upon the legacy of heavy metal and its
varied & diverse forms. Although the band certainly
draws inspiration from the days of yore, they're
certainly not limited to what people would call '80s
metal - in their words, "We believe that real metal is
timeless" - and humbly and reverentially do they offer a
continuation and innovation of what all their
predecessors set in motion.
VIOLENT SIN's first recording came in 2017 with a
digital single, and then was followed a year later by a
six-song demo. Five years would pass before a new lineup
was configured, but at long last - and with a
revitalized sound, to boot - is the band's debut album
ready to unleash its fury upon the world. Titled
Serpent's Call, VIOLENT SIN's first full-length is
indeed a summons to all headbangers who love denim and
leather, cauldron and sword. Like a veritable jukebox,
Serpent's Call synthesizes all sorts of righteous metal
styles - classic speed, proto-blackthrash,
speed-cum-thrash, juiced-up traditional - into one
37-minute thrillride.
The recording's suitably rough but not overly raw,
maintaining a "murky clarity" not unlike a classic
Combat or Metal Blade record from 1985, and just the
right amount of echo to emit sulfurous atmosphere. And
at 11 swift 'n' stout songs, VIOLENT SIN race from one
to the next, but always with memorability and malice.
For those who hail earliest Slayer, Exciter, Abattoir,
Hallow's Eve, and Germany's Warlock, heed the Serpent's
Call of VIOLENT SIN!
