Sinners Burn - Pre-Mortal Autopsy (2008)

   As it was mentioned before, Paganizer debuted as a traditional '80s styled metal band that mixed the that time actual  musical directions, such as heavy, speed, thrash and even black metal. A traditional band, with a style that never even existed in this form in the '80s. That line-up formed Sinners Burn and they didn't keep their "origin" in secret, since the band name is also a reference to that.
   Even though it was evident from the beginning, that Sinners Burn is a death metal band, there is some analogy in their concept with the first Paganizer album. After "Deadbanger" Paganizer played devastating sounding death metal, but fortunately Sinners Burn didn't become a side project that's exactly the same like the main band, like what's usually happening in most similar cases. They played traditional Swedish death metal in a form like how it never existed in the early '90s. The style features are easy to identify, but still it's different somehow. The classics of the Swedish scene sounded heavier, more aggresive and their purpose to be exaggerated can be sensed in their music. They did that with primitive, but catchy themes. Sinners Burn combined some thrash influences with even simpler themes that were not meant to be the most suitable background noise for the upcoming apocalypse. Their music is intense, but they're not hammering like if it was a must, often stucking at middle speed instead. The outcome is kind of chilling compared to the oldies of the local scene, like if a death metal band existed before the debut of Entombed, Carnage and the others to form a bridge to them, they probably sounded like this. But of course there was no time for chilling back than in the middle of the competition of brutality. Still, "Pre-Mortal Autopsy" is an excellent old school Swedish death metal nostalgia album - a bit different like how it was usual.
