Review

"SINAI BEACH tears your soul out and smashes itinto a brick wall with their open musical violence." --HM Magazine

Product Description

SINAI BEACH erupted from the fertile grounds of Southern California to take their rightful place among the modern extreme music movement's luminaries. They bring a sonic brew that incorporates the best of metal's past, present and future combined with a hardcore scene-bred work ethic and an undeniably heartfelt spiritual conviction. No quarter is asked and none are given. There are no apologies—only brutality. The band built their hard-won reputation through two years of do-it-yourself touring - playing headlining shows in basements, clubs and churches across North America and Europe. They backed up their live shows with two harsh rumbling CDs - When Breath Escapes and Wolves in Sheeps Clothing- from Christian hardcore label, Facedown Records. Their Victory Records debut, Immersed, will take the world by storm, bringing with it a melodic but savage sensibility inspired by PANTERA and DANZIG on a blueprint of MESHUGGAH and SLAYER. Immersed is a metalcore album as it has never been done before: intense, provocative and fully-realized.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardcore is alive and well, January 16, 2006

Plain and simple this album is BRUTAL. So BUY IT! People will say that hardcore is dead. With bands like Sinai Beach, Norma Jean, Poison The Well making groundbreaking music, and purists like Hatebreed, Throwdown, Terror, and Bury Your Dead still making brutal tracks...I have to say that Hardcore is not only alive, its stronger than EVER!

if you enjoyed "When Breath Escapes" most reviews are correct when stating the difference is sevenfold, but this is still a brutal album, and something theat Sinai Beach should carry their heads high with. So what about the quote-unquote Danzig type vocals that several reviewers were complaining about. I admit it kind of took me back a little too, but I'm willing to move beyond that and give this album it's proper credit. Anyway the brutal/hardcore vocals far surpass this so-called Danzig rip-off stuff. ONe reviewer stated about this cussing in the song "The Serpent's Letter". Let me clear this up. There are a couple of times on the track where references are being made to "Pissing on the devil's tortured soul." So what, this isn't anything to get worked up over, or if you're so serious of a Christian music fan, not to buy this album over. The whole c.d. is filled with passion and praise for the Almighty God of the universe. Some songs are angry, and deal with subjects that need to be addressed, but there is nothing to hinder anyone from enjoying this disc. Heck, give it a try. Also check out Nodes of Ranvier's two albums you can find at Facedown Records. Both are well worth the listen as well as Sinai Beach's "immersed". So don't get on the guys too hard, they still shred. A little difference is good, and admit it, another "When Breath Escapes" would have eventually gotten old and monotonous. Change is good, unless you're Metallica....well, that's another bag of monkeys!

4.0 out of 5 stars better than their last, June 29, 2006

Overall, this release from Sinai Beach was a step in the positive direction for SB's career. The clean vocals on this album are what will make listeners either love it or hate it. Personally, I didn't think the clean vocals were very well done. But that is by no means a reason not to get this album. It is extremely hardcore and relentless from beginning to end. Courtney Alderson does a very good job with the screaming. Overall, good album and should be given a chance.
