Sinister

Sinister was one of the veterans of the Dutch death metal scene, forming in 1988 and surviving sixteen years and seven full length albums. They were one of the few death metal bands to feature a female vocalist, recruiting Rachel Heyzer late in the their career. They decided to break up in April of 2004, but then announced their return a year later with a modified lineup.
