Hailing from an unlikely source like Lisbon, Portugal, Sinistro is the embodiment of both lush and devastating musical landscapes, driven by 5 individuals from distinct art patterns.
Sinistro has been cultivating sonic exploration since 2012 with the self titled debut album released on Portugal´s leading indie label Ragingplanet. The album blends film soundtrack ambiance with progressive textures, and a rock/doomy sensibility that creates layers of constant excitement on a journey into both dark and beautiful, earning them many praise from both critics and public alike.
Sinistro´s 2013 effort titled Cidade, welcomes new found singer in the form of actress Patricía Andrade, scattering influences that range between a massive wall of guitars, heavy and dense keyboards, smooth and sensual vocal sensibilities or the deepest intensively melancholy that gather the emotional outpourings of Fado (the country´s national musical treasure) that takes the listener into a gloomy and mystic elegant journey with no boundaries, pushing the band another step ahead into their unique style.
Cidade had a critically acclaimed review overall, and affirms Sinistro has a name not to be missed into the Portuguese music scene.
Forward into 2014/2015 Sinistro began writing their new album, now adding a second guitarist into their fold focusing on re-shaping the formula present in its previous releases, and showcasing a deep insight into the Fado style combined with ambient rock elements to portrait crushing melodies, spiritually healing moments and poetic sensibility.
Always with the cinematic aspect on the background, varying from abrasive musical thickness and a perfect sense of stillness, creating 7 brand new enigmatic songs that will sure appeal to the fans of the genre.
Despite being a relatively new band, Sinistro members are no strangers to the Portuguese music scene, having paved their way over 20 years, being part of bands such as We Are The Damned (Lifeforce Records), Besta, Fever, and countless others.
