Mindless Sinner are a
heavy metal band from Sweden formed in 1981 releasing an E.P. and an album
before disbanding in 1990. The band reunited in 2001 but broke up in 2004
and then reunited for a second time in 2013 with a new album 'The
New Messiah' released
in 2015. The bands appearance at the Keep It True XVIII festival the same
year was highly anticipated, with their performance recorded, and released
as 'Keeping It True' in 2018. 'Poltergeist' is the bands new album, and was
released early in 2020. |

Having lost none of
their energy, power and passion since their formation almost four decades
ago, Mindless Sinner enter the next chapter of their lengthy career with the
galloping and highly melodic romp 'Poltergeist'. Ten songs across fifty
minutes gets underway with the title song 'Poltergeist' - a thundering,
shuddering, "foot on the monitor" gallop of traditional heavy metal, with
one helluva sing a long chant able anthem of a chorus. Mindless Sinner have
opted for the heavy metal direction, rather than the hard rock one of many
of their fellow countrymen and women. Poltergeist (the album) a classic
example of booming heavy metal, contains another metal anthem to add to the
list - 'Heavy Metal Mayhem'. With lyrics such as "this is our destiny",
"this is our true religion", and "we shall go on singing this song
forevermore, it's gonna be our anthem", Mindless Sinner appeal to the hearts
of fans everywhere...and am sure fans will sing along and do the band proud. |

Reducing the pace to an
almighty heavy foot stomp, 'Valkyrie' turns in a performance worthy of
recognition by the epic and glory genres of metal. It is bold, proud and
cinematic, and raises the hairs on the forearms such is its intense epic
nature. 'World Of Madness' rattles along like a freight train, and with as
much energy and force too. Be careful, for if you stand in the way of 'World
Of Madness', you're gonna get crushed - you have been warned. Assuming the
guise of a power ballad, 'The Road To Nowhere' ambles into life, all mellow
and soft, before adopting the epic, heavy foot stomp inspired style of
legends Black Sabbath and Dio. 'The Road To Nowhere' fairly booms its
presence out of the speakers, rippling the air and causing a tickling effect
on the back of the neck. Hitting back hard from the slower feel of the
previous couple of songs, 'Rewind The Future' sets a blistering pace across
the land, leaving only scorch marks in its wake. The classic sound of
traditional heavy metal has never sounded so good. |

'The Rise And Fall'
takes the album in the direction of mid tempo melodic heavy metal. Still
very heavy, 'The Rise And Fall' will keep heads banging hard as it pounds
and pummels its way relentlessly on. 'Hammer Of Thor' picks up the pace and
hurtles off down the heavy metal road. Very much eighties in its feel,
'Hammer Of Thor' owes much of its sound to the evolutionary NWOBHM movement.
And there is that epic sounding mid tempo heavy foot stomp once more -
'Altar Of The King' is a melodic march of heaviness. The chorus is
theatrical and choir like, and it's gonna be a joy to a part of the concert
sing a long when the band perform this one live, well, hopefully they will!
The album is brought to a close with the bombastic punch of 'Roll The Dice'.
A thumping slice of traditional heavy metal, Mindless Sinner round off their
fourth album in almost four decades with a glorious gallop of the most
famous and well known style of music in the world - heavy metal. |

Overall, a traditional
heavy metal gallop, Mindless Sinner deliver fifty minutes of "foot on the
monitor" head bang able enjoyment. |
