Profile:
Straight from the seedy depths of Seattle's gothic underground, The Sins' debut CD, The Beginning, delivers the ultimate dark-rock experience. Inspired by a wide range of artists, from early British gothic rock bands such as Sisters of Mercy and The Mission U.K. to with American rock legends like The Doors and Black Sabbath, The Sins have paved their own musical path combining the familiar sounds of the goth/punk past with their own modern rock influences and ideas. The result is a fascinating blend of genres and sounds from the middle-east-influenced tones of "Ecstasy in Oblivion", to the old school punk feel of "So Many Ways", to the more traditional goth vibe of "Little Girl Lost." The aggressive (yet catchy) track "Angels" is already becoming a club favorite, spun by DJs from coast to coast, as well as in the UK.
Reviews:
"This is big, gritty, full tilt rock with all the darkness, brooding anger and mystery you could ask for. Immensely talented musicians from various backgrounds contribute making this band one of the most musically sound bands I know who can pull off amazing improvs at their live shows functioning as one like-thinking organism. It's absolutely amazing what these guys can accomplish."

"Formed from the ashes of Seattle's Tri-State Killing Spree (3SKS), The Sins carry the gothic rock beacon with the same level of panache as our very own Faces of Sarah. There's a good pinch of influence from old-school bands like The Misison, Fields of the Nephilim and even The Cure, which all add to the Sins' dark guitar-driven sound. Hell, vocalist NightMare Boy even sings like a huskier version of Wayne Hussey! However, it's not all nostalgia as the five-piece combine the odd spot of contemporary programming, which lifts their music into the 21st century, while 'So Many Ways' carries a very heavy deathrock vibe. With songs as sleek and beautifully composed as this, it shouldn't be too long before those boys get snapped up and start playing gigs outside their home country."

"Nine years from Kurt Cobain's suicide and Seattle is still suffering post-grunge syndrome, a lethargy that deathrockers The Sins are doing their best to eradicate. With sights firmly set on the UK's mid-to-late 80s goth scene, The Sins manage to recreate both the Neph's arcane rock ambition and the Mish's Middle Eastern aspirations with confidence and flamboyance. They add their own twist in the tail in unconventional drummer Kris "The Cannibal" Kilian, the electric violin of Jyri Glynn and the haunting lyrical flair of vocalist NightMare Boy. With several storming tracks such as The Cure-like 'Rivers', 'Ecstasy in Oblivion', 'Angels' and the post-punk of 'So Many Ways' there's certainly no excuse not to heartily recommend these guys."
