Description

Said it before, will say it again: in relevance, Mat Sinner is as a ’constant’ for German Metal as artists like Udo Dirkschneider or Doro Pesch or Rock ’n’ Rolf or Kai Hansen. Not only has he achieved preserving his own band for 26 years now, not only has he achieved in being associated with major metallic events on German ground, he still is respected for his works (Sinner, Primal Fear) and participations/appearances while the man’s still hungry for rhythmic Metal the German way. Henny Wolter (Thunderhead) is back on the trek and Sinner delivers another in-your-face European Hard ’n’ Heavy album, ‘Crash & Burn’. If you seek for something innovating from Sinner it’ll as well be like looking for a Prog metal album from Running Wild. Yes, there are bands willing to preserve ideals. Even if the band did flirt at times with some power metal stuff (90s) or German hard rock hits (late 80s) or even darker elements (late 90s), fact is that the legacy of Thin Lizzy and a rendition of the whole British pre-NWOBHM movement of the 70s, along with the metallic lightning of Accept are the trademark for Sinner and this does not change that easily. Engineered by Dennis Ward and mixed by Achim Kohler, this album will not make you love Sinner if you already haven’t; it will not disappoint you either, if you’re a follower of the band through the years.
