About the album

Four years after their audacious debut, "Sumerian Promises", the German/Basque death metal power trio Sijjin emerges from the shadows with their latest opus, "Helljjin Combat". Recorded live in the depths of BlackStorm Studios in Basque Country, this album is a raw testament to the band's relentless pursuit of sonic brutality. Steeped in an 80s analog sound aesthetic, it captures a primal energy that complements the band's diabolically intricate compositions.

The album's narrative dives deep into themes of satanic imagery and biblical fatalism while weaving tales through complex song structures reminiscent of mid-80s metal luminaries like Infernäl Mäjesty and Possessed. With vocals that are as gritty as they are ferocious, Gericke channels an unholy intensity that aligns perfectly with the album's dark themes. "Helljjin Combat" stands as a testament to Sijjin's commitment to pushing boundaries within death metal while paying homage to its thrash roots.
