Rocktopia: Sinocence - 'Scar Obscura' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Steven Reid: Full of stinging guitars and razor sharp riffs, the second album – 'Scar Obscura' - from Irish metallers Sinocence was first released through Rising Records in 2009. However having made the decision to head down the independent route, the band have decided to rerelease it with some enhanced content, namely a video interview and a photo gallery. Now those added extras may not sound too exciting, but that doesn't matter when the fact is that the actual music Sinocence fire out with a confident roar, negates the need for any extras whatsoever. Mighty riffs, pounding drums and, I'm glad to say, a tremendous singer who resists the temptation to growl at any time, make for a wall of sound that is crushingly heavy, yet has a melodic core that raises Sinocence well above the run of the mill metal acts that seem to be ten a penny right now. http://ping.fm/Mb8ic
