Sinister have always kicked the world's ass when it came to making the deadliest music around. Always maximum heaviness. Never limp-wristed. A lot of bands have similar styles but never ever come close to creating the punishing entertainment Sinister dish out. Simply a great set of musicians with the ultimate of satanic chemistry.

Best thing about Sinister is their technical ability. Hate is simply an excellent album. This is death! Great songs in 'Awaiting the Absu', 'Embodiment Of Chaos' and 'Art Of The Damned'. I remember waiting for my friend Steve (old school dude and ass-kicking Scot) and to pick me up and throwing on this disc while he strolled over. He comes into the domain and hears the slow down mega riff in 'Embodiment Of Chaos' and some simultaneous headbanging broke out! Sinister rules, man!!! A seriously pounding CD. By the way Aad uses Pearl drums. 9 songs 39:47 m:s
