BIO

From the Nuclear Blast Website

For years SINNER have posed as inspiring (and often times influential) figures among melodic rock and metal fans alike. The exceptional success of their Touch of Sin and Coming Out Fighting LPs catapulted the band to the very peaks of the European metal scene. Their live show bore even more impact - so much so that their opening, special-guest appearance with rock giants Deep Purple ended with Deep Purple vocalist, Ian Gillan, personally thanking the guys after the tour terming them the, "Best Special Guests of the Nineties."

Following such a "knighting" the band was a clear crowd thriller with their slot on the Wacken Open Air Festival 1999 churning enthusiasm from the masses (a crowd of more than 20,000)! The band closed the year with The Second Decade, a 'best of" record to document their high points and begin a whole new chapter of SINNER magnificance.

With a new millennium comes a renovated SINNER featuring ex-Thunderhead guitarist Henny Wolter and Helloween drummer Uli Kusch. (Former guitar wizard, Tom Naumann, was forced to flee the band due to health troubles and drummer Fritz Randow has been playing with Saxon for some time now). The two are more than mere replacements. They're undeniable assets to a new generation of SINNER.

Produced by band founder, Mat Sinner at the House of Music Studios, the LP shines in its structural versatility and individual musicianship. Songs such as "Signed, Sealed and Delivered" and "Blood Relations" clearly hint at the path chosen for 2000: uncompromising, powerful with their signature harmonies in full effect! The band is surging into new atmosphere's while maintaining their legendary, anthem-esque groove. The End of Sanctuary sees the band experimenting with riff-rockish crunch ("Pain In Your neck") as well as orchestral arrangements ("Destiny").

As stated in their January 11th studio report, "Uli Kusch is a world-class drummer and his drumming on the new SINNER album is outstanding. Uli confirmed that he will play live with the band in the future if his schedule with helloweeen fits....SINNER's trademark, the twin lead guitar solos will see a new dimension. Frank Roessler recorded some fantastic keyboards especially on the new hymns "Destiny" and "Night of the Wolf'' ".With explosive tune after explosive tune, The End Sanctuary transcends the boundaries of the term "traditional metal".
