Israelâs Sinnery is about to burn up the thrash metal scene with their new EP âBelow the Summitâ. It picks up where 2022âs âBlack Bileâ left off, continuing their self-actualization journey through searing guitar work, pummeling basslines, and vocals that cut through like a razor. âBelow the Summitâ is a very fast-paced piece of music where a lot is happening all at once. Itâs a journey further into the minds of Sinnery, the music and lyrics are a barrage of exactly what they feel in the most authentic and exaggerated way pummeling the listener with a wall of intensity. It is a very human experience that has been etched into this recording, detailing the strange times we are currently living through. The band comments:
âWe are thrilled to get our new EP âBelow the Summitâ out to listeners! This record marks another important milestone in our lives and careers as we continue to explore further and expand the horizons of what Sinneryâs music can be. BTS is a moment in time when we didnât know exactly how things would turn out for us, we were isolated in our homes when we began writing this, sharing ideas from afar. It was a special experience for us to write this record like this and we feel like we really put that into it.â
In this EP, Sinnery introduces new drummer Liam Fine who has written and recorded on the EP all while learning the bandâs older material. In just four months Liam learned 19 songs and wrote four more. Doing so much all at once is probably the most âSinneryâ thing that could have happened to anyone joining in.
âBelow the Summitâ was mixed and mastered by Arie Aranovich and the album artwork was done by Xul1349 and inspired by a famous Japanese painting called âThunderstorm Beneath The Summitâ by legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai. The EP is recommended for fans of Sylosis, Metallica, and Power Trip.

âBelow The Summitâ is due out on September 29, 2023, via Exitus Stratagem Records

“If you didnât get around to giving this quartet from Tel Aviv a whirl, hereâs another chance. The band, like many others, were graced with a period of pandemic-enforced downtime which allowed for an introspective and pointed look at themselves and their art. The result is the forthcoming EP, Below the Summit from which weâre premiering the bandâs latest single and video, âAn Ode (Knife of Erato),â a song that definitely upholds, if not elevates, their previous workâs vicious precision.” – Decibel Magazine
“Iâve said this many times in the past, but one of the many things I love about this business is following the progress of bands as they come of age, mature and get better at their craft. Whatâs not to love about paying early witness to a bunch of folks gelling and heading on an upward trajectory as they make the move towards proverbial world domination? Israeli thrashers Sinnery are one such band. Gathering their Exodus, Testament, Gojira, The Haunted and post-St. Anger Metallica influences, the quartet from Herzliya, Tel Aviv will soon be releasing their second full length, Black Bile via Exitus Stratagem Records. This new tasty little rager pops the clutch and pumps the gas on modern thrash with a grizzled edge that improves upon the roots planted with their 2016 debut A Feast of Fools and their 2013 demo, Showing Teeth.” – Decibel Magazine

“Sinnery [Israel] Proves Thrash is NOT Dead in Groove-Oozing Cesspit of âBlack Bileâ” – Metal Has No Borders
â
“âDeath thrashâ is the simplified genre description for what Sinnery do, but itâs the strong melodies and the variations among and within the songs that make the album such an adventure to experience from start to finish. Compared to the debut all those years ago, which was entirely written by vocalist/guitarist Alon Karnieli back when he was about 16-17 years of age, these tracks are more elaborate, more sophisticated, more reflective of different moods, while at the same time being more brutally extreme.” – No Clean Singing
â
“You just gotta love a band that knows exactly what the hell they wanna be. Sinnery bow to no one, instead turning heel to scissor kick you in the temple with battering ram riffs, suplexing drums, and neck-twisting vocals. You know the opening of Back to the Future where Marty McFly plays a single guitar chord on Doc Brownâs hyper amplifier and goes flying across the room from the resulting sound? âThe Burningâ provides the same effect regardless of the size of your chosen sound output device â you will be ragdolled and tossed around like a frisbee in a college quad by the quartetâs supreme rippage.” – Everything Is Noise
“I am old enough to have seen the likes of Metallica, Anthrax and others perform live at small venues in London. Iâm also a huge fan of the new wave of thrash like Dust Bolt, Lost Society, etc. Sinnery is welcome inclusion with their aggression, energy, and obvious hunger. They might verge on Death Metal a tad with the vocals but thatâs ok. With Matt Hyde (Machine Head, Trivium, Slipknot) having mixed and mastered this beast you know the sounds are gonna be right in your face. An excellent sophomore effort â please just keep thrashing!” – My Global Mind
“Sinnery straddle those lines between conventional thrash and modern/groove metal with enough solid musicianship and heaviness to align well with a multitude of touring possibilities.” – Dead Rhetoric
“For those that just want to bang heads and go nuts, there are songs like âThe Burning,â âWho Will Be Eaten First,â and âAnti Tribe.â âHanged From The Sunâ and âHolesâ flesh out their thrash by either toning down the speed or putting an emphasis on melody.” – Heavy Music Headquarters
