Joey Jordison has unveiled a new supergroup titled Sinsaenum.

The extreme metal band is fronted by Mayhem and Sunn O)))'s Attila Csihar along with Daath and former Chimaira keyboardist Sean Zatorsky. It also includes current VIMIC and former Slipknot sticksman Jordison on drum duties, Dragonforce bassist Frederic Leclercq on guitar and Seth's Heimoth on bass.

They'll launch their debut album Echoes Of The Tortured on July 29. Sinsaenum's video for track Army Of Chaos can be viewed below.

Leclercq says: “I’ve been a death metal fan ever since and wrote some of these songs already in 1998, so it’s something I always wanted to do. There was never the right time though, nor did I find the proper people to pull it off.

"Joey sent me an SMS to ask what I was up to, so I told him about those death metal songs."

Speaking of the upcoming album, he adds: "I wish to take the listener on a journey. Everything is interconnected, so you may pick particular songs, but it’s meant to be listened to as a whole.

"Today with iTunes and whatnot, people are choosy, whereas this is supposed to be an all-encompassing experience, forcing you to take it in as one piece of art, which is because I come from a time when you still put on a record and stuck to it until it was over."

More album details will be released in due course.

Well, wasn't necessarily expecting this to pop up in my Facebook feed today.

Functional black metal. I like it. I especially like that it's more on the groovy/black 'n roll side of things, as I've always really liked that kind of black metal. Atilla Csihar being (one of) the vocalist(s) was a totally left field choice, but he sounds quite good on this. I'll check out the album when it comes out.

The video is rather goofy though.

Joey Jordison back in the 90s was the one booking death and grind bands in Des Moines (from what I recall from interviews) and he drummed for Satyricon in 2004. He has a lot of chops in the underground, he just happened to be the (main) percussionist in a band that early on tailored their sound to the mainstream and for that reason I think he gets a lot of flak. It'll be interesting to hear the whole album, from the single song it sounds to my ears musically in the realm of Vreid/Goatwhore/later-era Satyricon, which I totally dig, but the duel vocals (Attila in particular) are a unique touch. Solid instrumentation, and more blackened than I expected given the description from Fred Leclercq.

Give it another shot. About halfway through they get blasty and we get some AWESOME soloing. Reminds me of Andy LaRocque much of the way through.

Not as much Attila as I expected but it sounds pretty solid.

That wasn't what I was expecting...actually, what was I expecting? I don't even know. Seemed like an eclectic mix of tastes, but they've managed to create a decent track. Nothing too unique or mindblowing but good enough to check out some more.

Damn I did not see this coming! I've always loved Joey's drumming and it's great to hear him in a heavier band. I'm not a really big fan of Sean Zatorsky's vocals but the dual approach with Attila Csihar actually works really well. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

Sounds like rejected Now, Diabolical material to me. Every change and transition as predictable and mundane as the last.

and those lyrics..

WE ARE THE PAIN INSIDE YO HEAD.
WE ARE THE SORROW IN YOUR SOULLL
WE ARE THE FIREEE

So redundant, might as well not sing anything at all.

First half of the song sounded like something I'd have thought was edgy when I was 13. Got a little bit better when Attila started doing vocals in the second half, but still, this sucks pretty bad. The lyrics are generic as hell too.

I wasn't expecting anything mindblowingly original from one the guys from Dragonforce. It's not bad though. It reminds me of the simpler, more straightforward black metal from the early 90s.

I'll listen to anything Joey Jordison is on... dude can drum.

Wait, Attila is fronting this?

I saw it announced on Blabbermouth but didnt read it. Joey is supposed to be a good drummer so it might not be too bad.

EDIT: Just tried to listen to it. Not too bad but the other vocalist wasnt very good and Attila seems to be wasted. They should ditch the co-vocals and let Attila handle it all. Besides that the music was surprisingly decent.

I'm always in the market for some generic-ass, vaguely death metal / black metal-inspired alternative metal.

Well that certainly popped up out of nowhere. Is Joey not doing that shitty Scar The Martyr project anymore?

This was the most generic festival metal I've heard in a long time. Really strange that Attila would be involved in such a band.

I wonder how big Attila's check was.

But Im more interested in what "functional black metal" is. All I heard was Affliction T shirt rock.

I was lukewarm at the start, then I got into it a bit more then the ending lost me again. If they'd cut out twenty of the last "We are the army of chaos" screams at the end and ended it sooner, I might've stayed with it longer but it seemed too repetitive at the end. But that's just me.
Definitely think Attila's vocals are the more interesting of the two. This also doesn't seem like Jordison's drumming especially well, he seems to be just going with it which is maybe what he needs, I don't know.

I can't imagine the level of soul sucking banality it would take to be a grown adult and write music and lyrics like that song.

The solos were actually pretty sweet. Too bad the rest of the song was almost impressively mediocre. No interesting riffs, insipid vocals, fairly uninspired drumming.

Also, repeating the phrase 'WE ARE THE _______' in lyrics will always sound dumb and corny, no matter what you fill in the blank with.

The second vocalist (?) (I'm assuming by the music video), is awful with that thick accent making his words sound goofy as hell. Did not need to be.

I'm just unimpressed, it sounds like a rejected Goatwhore song featuring a guest vocalist. And what some poster said about the absolute shite lyrics is spot on.

I'll just echo what most people said. A bit boring a first but got a bit better halfway through, so it might be worth to check out some more songs before dismissing it. And yeah, the lyrics. Sure if they'd been in their teens and came from a country where people barely speak english, but like this it's just embarrassing.

They should go on tour with Phil Anselmo's Scour. The tour could start in, I don't know, let's say Syria.

Reminds me of Satyricon circa Now Diabolical. It's ok but could do with a bit of editing and a helluva lot more in the way of intensity. Army of Chaos implies carnage, not ploddy and lethargic - I think the problem here is the "lazy" guitar tone.

Not a big fan. Like others mention sounds like a Satyricon B side.

Attilla's parts were probably my favorite, though.

A goddamn castle of a drumkit which he probably really only uses about a fourth of - but how could one tell since it is as stupidly overedited as nearly every other "music video" on the planet so that you can never see what anyone's doing on their respective instruments - and making goofy faces doesn't impress me neither, nor the actual looks of the people involved. So it SHOULD and WOULD be up for the music to convey any sense of meaning or significance, but alas, this is not to be. I don't think I need to utter my verdict on this piece of art at this point anymore, do I?

To be honest, I think if you ask Attila to do vocals for your band, he'll do.

Well, I think I only need a band. Then Attila's fame will make our unbelievably untalented band famous, too.

You can find the album artwork and tracklisting if you search the band on Spotify. Apparently, it is a 21-song album, in which every normal track is followed by an interlude/transition track of some sorts. I can't tell if this works or not since I have not heard the album, but twenty one songs is a lot.

huh. this stupid. but if it gets the more mainstream crowd into better music, who cares. I think JJ doing drums for a project like this is neat enough.

Just listened to some of the actual album and man, that format is....not good...

And I repeat that that Scour track was useless shit, but this is two steps below even that.

Like something I read in a Garfield comic once: "Every time you think you can't think any lower, someone gives you a shovel."

I mean, you can tell that this is way shittier than Scour because there's not been a single "you only hate it because Joey Jordinson is in it"-post yet. Even the shitty super group apologist crowd doesn't doubt that everyone genuinely thinks it sucks.

I thought I recognized the bald guitarist, turns out he's the main man of Loudblast. Really surprised that none of these so called "metal journalist" websites even mentioned that, but then again they are most likely too busy sucking Corey Taylor's dick to even pay attention to something like Loudblast. Probably don't even know who they are...

Anyway, the song is definitely boring and not really interesting in any way. But maybe due to Stephane's involvement, something interesting may come of the project.
