Sinsaenum (ex-Slipknot, Mayhem, Dragonforce, ex-Chimaira, etc.) Release New Song “Ashes”

It’s been a minute since we’ve talked about the supergroup Sinsaenum, so here’s a quick refresher on the band’s lineup:

Sean Z (Dååth, ex-Chimaira): vocals
Attila Csihar (Mayhem): vocals
Frédéric Leclercq (Dragonforce): guitar, bass, synth, vocals
Stephane Buriez (Loudblast): guitar
Heimoth (Seth): bass
Joey Jordison (VIMIC/ex-Slipknot): drums

Pretty cool, at least in theory, right? Turns out we don’t need to just theorize: we quite enjoyed the band’s debut EP Echoes of the Tortured, which came out last year. The band — which is helmed by Jordison and Leclercq — will take the EP approach once again with Ashes coming laster this fall, and they’ve just released its title track, which you can check out below.

Quick, first-listen verdict: it’s pretty good! It sounds very much like the sum of its parts given who’s involved, and I’d even say it’s heavier than I was expecting it to be.

Ashes comes out November 10th via earMusic; pre-order here.
