Portugal is well known for its fascination with the morbid. Death is part of daily conversation. Its national chant, Fado, is the musical incarnation of melancholy and painful longing called “saudade”. And the country’s capital Lisbon only wakes up in the darkness of night.
From this unlikely location, SINISTRO emerged as an embodiment of both lush and devastating musical landscapes driven by five individuals from distinct art circles. Their new album ‘Semente‘ (“Seed”) is a fascinating exercise in amalgamating this national legacy into dark and fascinating sound.
“Semente” has been scheduled for a worldwide release on April 8th via Season Of Mist.
A video clip for the song “Partida” is streaming in Greece exlusively by Metalpaths.com and can be seen above.
