The amazing consistency of SINISTER is even more remarkable when one considers the near-constant state of flux of their lineup. After a hiatus of several years, drummer and founder Aad Kloosterwaard has returned as the vocalist, and former bassist Alex Paul is now the guitarist! Yet despite inactivity and upheaval, "Afterburner" stands out as not only a fine slab of ferocious, unadulterated death metal, but one retaining the trademark off-the-rails riffing and heart-attack drumming that's been SINISTER's calling card since 1991.
