The Sinister King is melodic heavy metal band from Norway that released its debut EP, “All is Vanity” in 2021. Prior to the EP, the band had released three singles, “Still Here”, “A Cure for Insomnia” and “Death of All Joy”, that are all included in the “All is Vanity”.
As you can understand, Sinister King have but a small musical background as a band and yet this hasn’t stopped them from leaving great first impressions. They present a fairly solid sound formed by their fresh artistic gaze. Their desire to create something notable is undeniable and while the “All is Vanity” is a small sample of their abilities, it is a promising teaser of their skills.
Musically, the EP is built around a melodic, heavy metal core that works both as the guideline and the glue, since the album tends to walk on a thin line between groovy and progressive. Mostly to the groovy side, the musical approach is mixture of wide, catchy choruses, heavy riffs spiced up by progressive ideas and an extensive use of keys that are there to dictate the atmosphere of each song.
The quality of the production is a selling point for the “All is Vanity”. Solid, clear with a distinct low end, the production elevates every song on an individual level. Usually, production isn’t something that’s getting mentioned since the vision of the artist may differ from the listening experience that the fan is having. However, in Sinister King’s case the work that was done in producing the album is undoubtedly pretty killer.
No one expects from a band to develop a fully formed and original sound in just 5 songs, but the “All is Vanity” proves that the band is on the right path and I am confident that by the time of the full-length album, the sound will be ready.
