Sinner
Sinner is one of the elder statesmen of German traditional metal.
Like fellow veterans
Running Wild ,
Helloween ,
Rage ,
and
Grave Digger ,
these guys got their start in the early 80's and were one of the big early
signings to
Noise ,
and like the others, they've cranked out albums pretty reliably over the
years, with lineup changes aplenty surrounding mainman Mat Sinner.
