CARDINAL SIN - SPITEFUL INTENTS - UPDATE!!!!
In our struggle to catch up with many of our delayed releases we´re finally able to announce some news about the Cardinal Sin LP release. We have the vinyls and reprinted sleeves in stock, only waiting for the inlays to arrive, which are scheduled to arrive by the end of this week. We´ll start shipping all pre-orders by the end of the week & early next week.
REGAIN RECORDS is proud to present a long-overdue reissue of the lone EP from Sweden's CARDINAL SIN, Spiteful Intents, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Released in that fateful year of 1996 on Wrong Again Records - the precursor label to REGAIN, who released pivotal early works by In Flames, Arch Enemy, Naglfar, and Eucharist among others - CARDINAL SIN's Spiteful Intents was a short but all-too-sweet display of lethally melodic, seared-black death metal. Which is not all that surprising given that the band was formed by former Dissection founder/guitarist John Zwetsloot - so naturally, black tentacles of majesty fully enwrap Spiteful Intents, CARDINAL SIN's lone recording after a promo in 1995. Fully embracing (and leading, albeit shortly) the sound of the day, Spiteful Intents is also considerable for numbering two early/classic Marduk members: Jocke Göthberg on vocals & drums, and Devo Andersson on guitars/bass. As a special bonus, three tracks – including a cover of Death’s “Infernal Death” – from the same studio session, once lost to time, have now been added, altogether making for nearly a half-hour of nostalgic black / death. A simpler time, but an undeniably classic time forever etched into legendary...the past is alive!
