| Sorrowful melodies, melancholic lyrics, and a somber atmosphere are typical of Finnish bands. Sinamore also adheres to these principles, as heard on their outstanding debut, which conquered the darkish hearts of Metal and Gothic fans alike, and unerringly established the band among greats such as Sentenced and H.I.M. Yet for all the world weariness imparted in their music, Sinamore never forgets their rock band status. Thus, the four Finns let it all hang out, combining pleasing melancholy and soft sounds with solid drumming, great hooklines, catchy choruses, and heavy guitars. In other words, Gothic Rock with balls! (2007) |
