8thSin

never been one for predictability, fronting a number of mostly black metal bands, usually with a flair for the unique, notably Vondur and Ophthalamia. He eventually burned out and retired from the music scene, but decided to start up a new project after hooking up with an old friend, Michael Bohlin, who was himself working on some new ideas. Thus was born 8thSin, the duo eventually bringing together three other members to form a proper band. As heard on Angelseed & Demonmilk, instead the focus here is on blending metal with techno and electronic influences. This would not be the first time that black metallists have turned techno (see The Kovenant and Deathstars for two other examples of this transformation), but the techno metal genre is still a young one, and there are enough interesting ideas at work here to give 8thSin a chance. Work had commenced on a third album for 2007, to be entitled Cosmogenesis, but It's departure put an indefinite halt to both recordings and live work.
