An EP that has been heralded in their native country the Netherlands as well as abroad, energetic live performances, skilled instrumentalists and a singer who can easily switch between melodic singing and brutal grunts. These are some of the highlights of the metal band The Sin Committee (TSC) whose four members all originate from the city of Nijmegen. Their music can be described as progressive, heavy, dynamic and by times melodic. Highly recommended for fans of bands like Mastodon, Opeth, Tool and Textures.
