S.I.N. / EQULIBRIUM (2005)

S.I.N. (which means "SOMEWHERE INTO NOWHERE") was an European Melodic Hard-Rock/Metal band. It came from 00's and was born after FOREVER's death, then S.I.N. could be described as a FOREVER's rebirth. It's composed by British Jason Marks, Deddy Andler, Wolfgang Frank and Alex Hlousek. Their first self-titled effort was released in 2003, thanks to well-known label MTM Music. For their second opus - the album that I'm reviewing about ! - they've signed with Metal Heaven record company.

To be honest, when I listen to "Equilibrium", I think that S.I.N. looks like EVIDENCE ONE. I mean a pure German melodic music with high-pitched and aggressive vocals. I didn't say "it's a clone of EVIDENCE ONE" but "it looks like EVIDENCE ONE". The strong point is mainly Jason Marks's voice and Michael Voss as guest, plus the talented "instrumental" team (guitar-bass-keyboard players Deddy Andler and Wolfgang Frank, drummer Alex Hlousek). This is an incredible and grower album. In fact, some of you could need more listenings to appreciate completely the entire album. My killer tracks are, without a doubt, "Nail It To The Wall", "It's Forever" (feat Michael Voss), "Fight For My Life", "Nightwinds" and "Winding Road".

I've discovered too late this wonderful band. I was, also, sad to learn thanks to Deddy that S.I.N. was definitely dead ! R.I.P. to a wonderful band ! Thank God, they gave us three great releases to get good memories of S.I.N.
