Finland's Sinisthra have recently signed with Italian label Rockshots Records for the release of their new album, titled The Broad and Beaten Way. This effort, which will be released in May, comes 15 years after the debut Last Of The Stories Of Long Past Glories.

The band explains the evolution of their music: "We all had a history in thrash and death metal bands, but when the band originally came together in 2000, there was not much metal at all in the sound, it was leaning more towards grunge and at times trip-hop. After the first album in 2005, the sound took a lot more metallic turn and something came in from 70's prog as well. Metal genres are irrelevant to us."


Sinisthra line-up:

Tomi Joutsen - Vocals
Markku Mäkinen - Guitar
Erkki Virta - Drums
Timo Vainio - Keyboards
Marko Välimäki - Guitar
Janne Telen - Bass
