Hungary’s Sin of God Need to be on Your Death Metal Radar

Sometimes, as a music journalist, you get so many promos that it can be annoying, and you miss out on some good stuff because you feel overwhelmed or you get too focused on the new record by a big-name band. But some days, you make a point of scouring your promos, and you find a band that makes you think, Man, I just need to be more patient, because it would’ve sucked to have missed these guys.

For me, one such band is Hungarian death metal crew Sin of God, a link to whose new album, Aenigmata, I discovered today in my inbox. The record is just killer, full of menacing death metal that doesn’t lean too hard into the old- or new-school sound; think a crossbreed of Book of Black Earth, Deicide, and Fleshgod Apocalypse sans opera, and you’ll have some idea of what these guys are like. Modern death metal fans will love the band’s technicality and production, while classic headbangers will dig their atmosphere and badass riffs. Definitely get into them.

Listen to Sin of God’s Aenigmata below, out now on Satanath Records. You can buy the album on the band’s Bandcamp.
