=====================================
SINOCENCE
Sinocence are Ireland’s premier Metal act, based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The band are working on part 2 of the ‘No Gods, No Masters’ trilogy. Vol 1 already being heralded as “Ambitious & Awesome!” 13 Years in and the band are as hungry as ever….This quick review of Vol 1 sums up the vibe that is in the band at present…..“A driving, wounded sound and really quite invigorating. The riffs are excellent and surprisingly detailed, with each one spanning at least two or three variational phrases before repeating, (a trait which seemed to die after Carcass). It’s an album of depth of feeling with great production and better songwriting.” Courtesy of Metal Ireland.
