SINSAENUM Resurrect from Grief with Blackened Elegy 'In Devastation'

Sinsaenum Resurrect from Grief with Blackened Elegy In Devastation

Like a demon punching through the soil of its own grave, extreme metal monstrosity Sinsaenum have clawed their way back into the light-only to drag you straight into the darkness.

Their new single, “In Devastation,” isn’t just a comeback. It’s a funeral pyre, a seance, and a war cry all rolled into one. And it’s the title track from their soon-to-erupt third studio record, due later this year via earMUSIC.

It’s the band’s first thunderous output since the devastating loss of legendary drummer Joey Jordison (Slipknot, Murderdolls), and if that doesn’t already punch you in the chest, the album also mourns guitarist/founder Frédéric Leclercq’s father. Grief? This isn’t just grief. It’s grief with fangs.

“I was devastated,” Leclercq confesses. “But we had to carry on. This record is for my father, for Joey, and for anyone who’s had to crawl through the dark just to feel the sun again.”

The full-length album is a ten-track cyclone of blackened death metal - razor-sharp, emotionally volcanic, and infused with Sinsaenum’s signature feral elegance. Produced by sonic sculptor Lasse Lammert, the record isn’t afraid to veer into prog spirals, clean vocal specters, and yes… even cello. But don’t get comfy - this thing still rips faces off like it’s headlining Armageddon.

Leclercq is joined by the infernal pantheon: Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Sean Zatorsky (Dååth), Stéphane Buriez (Loudblast), and Heimoth (Seth). Behind the kit? Andre Joyzi, former drum tech to Jordison and now torchbearer of his rhythmic wrath.

Tracks like “Obsolete and Broken” gnash with blistering nihilism, while “The Last Goodbye” leaves you gutted with emotional rawness. Then there’s “Shades of Black” and “Over the Red Wall” - melodic wrecking balls that crash straight through genre walls with no survivors.

Following 2016’s Echoes of the Tortured and 2018’s Repulsion for Humanity, In Devastation doesn’t just close a chapter - it sets it ablaze. Sinsaenum have stared into the abyss. And now they’re dragging it back with them.

You’ve been warned.

Are you brave enough to hit play?

In Devastation isn’t background noise - it’s a bloodletting in sonic form. It’s grief weaponized, melody mangled, and catharsis turned up to eleven. Will you dive headfirst into this maelstrom of blackened brutality? Or are you just here for the merch and misery? Don’t just stand there reading - press play and find out if you can survive what Sinsaenum just unleashed.
