Lucifer Illuminatio Mea Another Great album by Sijjin. Great riffs, crushing drums and a unique vocal. Selective and meaty sound. Some people should learn from Sijjin how to record Death Metal albums. Candidate for the top three albums of the year in the Death Metal category. Regards from Poland. Hail Sijjin 🤘🔥 Favorite track: Five Blades.

Bart I really liked their last release. This one is takes the foot off the gas a bit, but still has that blackened death-thrash at its core. This one is really growing on me. Favorite track: Dakhma Curse.

Basilius It was a long time to wait for new songs of Sijjin but it was worth it. I really like that the songs are a bit more complex in structure but they don"t miss the straight forward approach the music of Sijjin has. And the production is very nice, not again one of these overproduced albums but meta as it once was. Quite a gem, thank you! Favorite track: Religious Insanity Denies Slavery.

sashavonkarl74 Hum, did not quite expect this one to be so close to that end of 80's old school death metal, with nice thrash influences. It gave me Merciless and Possessed kind of vibe. This is a welcomed trip down to memory lane! Riff-laden and groovy as fuck, this stuff resuscitates the dead !! Favorite track: Death Opens The Grave.

RATMAN Helljjin Combat was recorded live!
I love this band for this attitude and their good taste generally.
I am still a big Necros Christos fanboy too but this extra portion of thrash is what i need to freak out!

F I V E B L A D E S Find the door in your mind Leave the outer world behind Eternal darkness you`ll find Sire In fire Denier Dreams of death are coming in Take me where I`ve never been Nightmares getting fairly dim I`ve crossed the portal in my stash Succumbed to my internal crash The dagger`s tasting mortal flesh Hark! the dark mark The end is nigh calling you shall die Heaven was in our father as he fell from up high The power of the pentagram calls him from the sky I lead the servants with my lash I`ve crossed the portal in my stash As swine take action in the mire and demons smoke the dead in fire The blood of men is doomed forever The scent of life is burned and never Shall the filth of mortal ties affect the pulse of Satan`s rise I speak my prayers in reverse Darkness growing ancient birth His presence coming down on earth Predict the verdict of hell The end has come warning all light is gone Five blades carve the pentagram in blood

about

Hark and behold, all ye supporters of the darkest of Metal, the time has finally come.
4 years after the sheer onslaught which was "Sumerian Promises", Sijjin return with their 2nd opus entitled "Helljjin Combat".
The German/Basque trio has delved into depths absolute, focusing their lens on the most antediluvian variety of Death Metal while bringing up a derivative of evil Thrash with utmost evil intent.
The album conjures its own life of satanic imagery, diabolical debauchery and biblical fatalism. Sijjin follow the firm path they once took but permanently turn to the south of heaven.

Recorded live at BlackStorm Studios in Karrantza, Basque Country, the new songs brim over with satanic energy, countless tempo changes, vile twists and turns, a demanding instrumental performance and riffs that drag you directly to the lowest point in hell. On top of that, blessed with abysmal strenght as it seems, Gericke's vocals never sounded as raspy and malevolent as on "Helljjin Combat", or to put it simple, dirty as fuck.

Adorned with an authentic and completely dry 80s analog sounding production, the record takes aim like fallen angels, storming the vaults in high heaven.
In stark contrast to the tracks on "Sumerian Promises", Sijjin's newer direction focuses on more extensive song structures as practiced by the godfathers of mid 80s Metal insanity, bringing such infamous names as Infernäl Mäjesty, Nasty Savage, Possessed, very early Slayer or Megadeth to mind.

In conclusion while seeking combat in hell, the trio of Sijjin has once more ultimately testified to be the trident in the left hand of the devil.
So mote it be!
