Dies Irae

The Sin War (Metal Blade)
by Tim Den

If you missed their debut, Immolated, this is Vader members Mauser and Doc’s side band. Ironic, then, that this sophomore release is actually better than the last Vader full-length, Revelations. No cut-and-paste arrangements here! There’s even tasteful electronic dabblings! Add to that clever breakdowns and catchy-as-fuck riffs, and you’ve got a side project that might have a bright future. If you like your Vader-style death metal done deliciously, look no further.
