Unleashing their thrash madness this past September on Exitus Stratagem Records with their latest EP "Below The Summit", Israel’s Sinnery was forced to take down the music as war broke out. Ready to re-upload their latest headbangers, the band announces that thrash fans can rejoice as the music is now back on all digital platforms as of January 16th, 2024 along with it being available on CD and Vinyl.

The EP picks up where Sinnery's 2022 album “Black Bile” left off, continuing their self-actualization journey through searing guitar work, pummeling basslines, and vocals that cut through like a razor. “Below the Summit” is a very fast-paced piece of music where a lot is happening all at once. It’s 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:
"This record marks another important milestone in our lives and careers as we continue to explore further and expand the horizons of what Sinnery’s music can be. We put a lot of thought and effort into Below The Summit to try and get everything we can into it. We sat for hours producing it and sharpening every riff or word in it to make it an experience like we never did before. BTS is a moment in time when we didn’t know exactly how things will 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."
On this EP, Sinnery introduces new drummer Liam Fine who has written and recorded on the EP all while learning the band’s older material. In just four months Liam learned 19 songs and wrote four more. Doing so much all at once is probably the most “Sinnery” thing that could have happened to anyone joining in.
“Below the Summit” was mixed and mastered by Arie Aranovich and the album artwork was done by Xul1349 and inspired by a famous Japanese painting called “Thunderstorm Beneath The Summit” by legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai. The EP is recommended for fans of Sylosis, Metallica, and Power Trip.

"Fans of Kreator, Testament, The Haunted, Nuclear Assault and Exodus hopefully gathered ‘round and checked the band out, if not because they deliver thrash with passionate fierceness and frantic ferocity, but because it’s always interesting to check out what’s emerging from smaller and more obscure metal scenes from other corners of the globe." - Decibel Magazine
"As we’ve come to expect from Sinnery, the EP is an electrifying high-speed romp, packed to the brim with blistering and bludgeoning drumwork, earth-moving bass-lines, blazing and eviscerating riffage, and strikingly intense vocals that manifest in different ways, from hardcore screaming to death metal roars and wrenching singing. But, also as expected, Sinnery switch things up as they fly. The opener “Somber“, for example, is a full-throttle and heavy-grooved assault, and a great example of Sinnery‘s incendiary intensity, but when the tremolo’d riffing and glittering lead-work take a bleak and even anguished turn, you understand the song’s name. It’s also a vivid example of why no one who’s heard Sinnery would ever brand them as “party thrash”. There’s too much passion in the music that’s born of difficulty and dismay." - No Clean Singing
"the Israeli thrashers continue to slash open skin with voracious riffs and terrorising intensity on all fronts, even if one of the tracks is a very short interlude piece. 'Somber ' smashes into the listener with full force vitriol ,super aggressive vocals, and that sense of nihilistic violence. The short fade-in to 'An Ode (Knife Of Erato)' gives you about five seconds breathing space before the song lacerates with acerbic riffing and caustic vocals. There is a brief semi-acoustic segment which leads into a tuneful bridging riff that I really like here and the EP spits out 'Share This' after the short interlude. Its incendiary attack is typical of the band's wrathful intent and the EP closes with a very different tune called 'Serene'. Its calm start leads into a slower riff where the far more casual and melodic approach is still balanced by harsh vocals which may indicate the direction the band will be going in future. 8/10" - Powerplay Magazine UK
"Israel's Sinnery sound like they'd have been more at home in the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal. This mixes the best of 2000s metal core and latter-day Trivium across four high-adrenaline tracks." - Metal Hammer UK
"the EP offers the finest Thrash Metal a la Trivium, Power Trip or Gojira. Every song pushes hard, backed up with Death Metal-like screams and plenty of tempo. A foretaste of a hopefully forthcoming album. I give it 8 out of 10 Hellfire points" - Hellfire Magazin
""Sinnery's "Below The Summit" is a solid concentrate of uncompromising Thrash, ready to destroy everything in its path. 4/5" - Music Waves
"After their 2022 album ‘Black Bile’ this is a welcome return and is showing that Sinnery have got the talent to become bigger. Let’s hope for another full album soon. If it’s anything like this it will be special. 8/10" - My Global Mind
"Sinnery know how to go hard and deliver a crashing and banging level of thrash noise, with this EP serving as mighty example of that. Five tracks of dazzling speed, frenetic riffs, and pounding drums, all while the vocals roar and shout with pointed aggression. If you’re not head banging like crazy to the opening track Somber, there might be something wrong with you." - Games Brrraaains & Headbanging-Life
"Comparisons have been drawn with Trivium and Power Trip, but it’s to Sinnery’s credit that they sound like no one but themselves, they’ve developed a signature sound that melds death and thrash to great effect, and Below The Summit finds Sinnery rising majestically." - Devolution Magazine
"Those who live for a great amalgamation across the progressive, extreme, modern, and thrash genres may find Sinnery with Below the Summit very intriguing. A good teaser for what could be a blockbuster third album if these gentlemen push themselves into the right live show/festival action." - Dead Rhetoric
"Only a year following the sludgy death-thrash Black Bile record, this new EP brings even greater amounts of energy and aggression." - Metal Has No Borders (Album of the Month (Honorable Mentions))
"Full of passion, energy, and commitment, Sinnery have produced a fine EP which they can be rightly proud of." - Ever-Metal
