Sinistro

Sinistro is a captivating Portuguese band that emerged in 2011, blending doom metal, post-metal, and atmospheric sludge into a moody, cinematic sound. Hailing from Lisbon, the group—whose name translates to "Sinister"—crafts haunting, emotionally charged music anchored by Patricia Andrade's mesmerizing Portuguese-language vocals and lush, brooding instrumentation. Their discography, including standout albums like *Semente* (2016) and *Vértice* (2020), weaves introspective lyrics with heavy, slow-burning riffs and ambient textures, earning them a dedicated following in the European experimental metal scene. Known for their intense live performances, they’ve shared stages with acts like Cult of Luna and graced festivals like Roadburn (hence *Live at Roadburn*). With releases like *Sangue Cassia* and *Abismo*, Sinistro continues to evolve, balancing raw power with a melancholic beauty that feels distinctly their own.
