Sinsaenum (Slipknot, Mayhem, Dragonforce, Chimaira, etc.) Release Death Metal Ripper “Nuit Noire”

I admit that my expectations for the sophomore album by Sinsaenum were modest. I wasn’t bowled over by their debut, and music by supergroups made up of Very Famous Metal Dudes more often than not end up being… again, modest.

The first two singles from the band’s new album have been solid, though, and the third — which came out today in music video form — is my favorite yet. It’s straight death metal fiyah, easily the heaviest thing I’ve heard from the band to date. It’s such a ripper, in fact — fast, furious, brutal — that it’s hard to believe dudes who used to be in Slipknot and Dragonforce made it until you think about it a bit further; Joey Jordison’s drums in Slipknot were always impressive, and fast death metal like this is basically just Dragonforce played in a different key.

Jam the track below, and check out the previous singles “Sacred Martyr” and “Final Resolve.”
