Then finally in 2002, Tommi Muhli joined the<br \/>\n\u00a0 band and they recorded their first demo \u201cMy Grace\u201d under a different<br \/>\n\u00a0 name; Halflife. More demo&#8217;s followed and in 2006 they signed with Napalm Records<br \/>\n\u00a0 and delivered their debut album \u201cA New Day\u201d. End 2007 Sinamore released<br \/>\n\u00a0 their second CD \u201cSeven Sins A Second\u201d. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 The albums \u201cSeven Sins A Second\u201d starts a bit weird, you hear some<br \/>\n\u00a0 guitar picking and then it seems to start, but it all sounds very weird. Like<br \/>\n\u00a0 it is half there&#8230;I was thinking that something was wrong with the CD just<br \/>\n\u00a0 for a second. Then it made me realise that it is just a very cool intro to the<br \/>\n\u00a0 CD (or \u201cOutro\u201d as they call it), it gets you ready. The second song<br \/>\n\u00a0 kicks in immediately.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Being a Finnish band, you might instantly expect a dramatic melancholic tone<br \/>\n\u00a0 to it and Sinamore sure lives up to that. Sad, emotional and bittersweet. Sometimes<br \/>\n\u00a0 the sound reminds me of the melancholic catchiness of \u201cPoisonblack\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0 and \u201cEntwine\u201d, this then might not be the best album when it comes<br \/>\n\u00a0 to originality. At some points the music seems to step aside from the depressing<br \/>\n\u00a0 gothic sound and the sound of the guitars becomes heavier and the drums seem<br \/>\n\u00a0 to revive, tempo increases. Examples of this are \u201cBetter Alone\u201d and<br \/>\n\u00a0 \u201cThe Burning Frame\u201d. This creates a varied album with 10 melancholic<br \/>\n\u00a0 and sorrowful melodies.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u201cSilence So Loud\u201d has some guitar picking that reminds me of raindrops<br \/>\n\u00a0 on your window on a cold and dark winter day. The atmosphere is right. Mikko<br \/>\n\u00a0 Heikkila&#8217;s voice is easy to listen to and he does not try to sing as depressed<br \/>\n\u00a0 as some gothic singers seem to do. \u201cFrozen Mile\u201d has something else<br \/>\n\u00a0 that you might expect from gothic bands, a female choir. \u201cUnbreakable Calm\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0 and \u201cEyes of May\u201d remind me of \u201cA Perfect Circle\u201d with the<br \/>\n\u00a0 way of sad and emotional slow singing. At \u201cUnbreakable Calm\u201d Mikko<br \/>\n\u00a0 starts to scream to be later accompanied by a female vocalist. This happens<br \/>\n\u00a0 at the end of the track, although she lingers a bit on the background. She could<br \/>\n\u00a0 have been more present. A very pleasant song with a nice twist that came unexpectedly.<br \/>\n\u00a0 The last song \u201cEyes of May\u201d has that same sad atmosphere and it brings<br \/>\n\u00a0 you back to that dark rainy winter day.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 Although this album is not very unique, I would not toss it in the bin. When<br \/>\n\u00a0 you have this CD as background music it is quite relaxing and when you&#8217;re ready<br \/>\n\u00a0 to shake things up a bit, play with the volume. If you like melancholic sad<br \/>\n\u00a0 music with solid drumming and catchy choruses you will like Sinamore.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\u00a0 01 Outro<br \/>\n\u00a0 02 Better Alone<br \/>\n\u00a0 03 Silence So Loud<br \/>\n\u00a0 04 Dressed in White<br \/>\n\u00a0 05 Frozen Mile<br \/>\n\u00a0 06 The Burning Frame<br \/>\n\u00a0 07 Everything Ends<br \/>\n\u00a0 08 Unbreakable Calm<br \/>\n\u00a0 09 Far From a Dream<br \/>\n\u00a0 10 Eyes of May<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/sinamore\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sinamore MySpace<\/a><br \/>\nSinamore Official<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release date: November 2007; Label: Napalm Records By: Elvira\u00a0Visser \u00a0 In 1998 in a town in Finland, childhood friends Mikko Heikkila, Jarno Uski and \u00a0 Miika Hostikka founded Sinamore.
