Sinbiosis Discusses So Much About Themselves as Well as the Music!


Nu-metal Texans SINBIOSIS have been around for some time now, releasing a few singles, and perhaps an album in the works! The band discusses these releases, some backstory into themselves, and what the future holds for them!


1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.

Sinbiosis is Nu-Metal/Metalcore from Laredo, Texas. Dom (Sloth) is on vocals. His brother Drew (Wrath) plays lead guitar. Their uncle, Da Beaver (Greed), is on bass. Raven (Envy) came in on rhythm guitar and got adopted into the group by the rest of us. Spicy (Lust) is on drums, a childhood friend of Da Beaver's.

We started as Da Ally Kats, a cover band. Local musician friends challenged us to a songwriting competition. We wrote a full set of originals, showed up, and won. That got Defect Productions' attention. After that we put a rebrand to a vote and the name Sinbiosis won.

2. What's the origin of the band's name?

Each of us came up with five possible names and we put them to a vote. Sinbiosis won. To us it means a sinful way of life. We're all born into sin and keep choosing it. Each member deals with one specific sin, so we leaned into it and turned those into the faces of the band. It's not a gimmick—it's just who we are when we plug in.

3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

We're from Laredo, Texas, right on the border with Mexico. The metal scene here is small—Spanish-language music dominates the airwaves—but the people who show up actually stay and move. That support means everything.

Local/area bands worth checking out: As Good As Dead, Sikmind, Japanese Dream, Gardens Gate, Sounds of Arson, and Requiem for Redemption.

4. How would you describe your style?

Call it Nu-Metalcore.

It takes the groove, bounce, and late-'90s/early-2000s energy of classic nu-metal—think the rhythmic drive and party-ready feel from bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Korn—and pairs it with metalcore's breakdowns, vocal contrast, and modern aggression. The riffs are built to get people moving, then the breakdowns drop the weight. "N.T." sits right in that space: a party track carrying that 2000s-to-2010 nu-metal vibe with enough heaviness to keep the floor shaking.

5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

Our debut single "N.T." dropped August 11, 2026. It's a party song with that early-2000s-to-2010 nu-metal groove—the kind of track that hits when the room's already moving. Expect crushing riffs, dynamic vocals, and breakdowns built for the pit.

6. Do you have any new music in the works?

We're finishing two new singles and a secret album. I wasn't supposed to say that part out loud.

7. As far as shows and touring, what is on the agenda?

We're locking in a Texas tour for April. End of the year we're aiming for a full U.S. run if the calendar holds. We've already played outside Laredo—San Marcos, Harlingen, Corpus, Houston, Brownsville—and opened for D.R.I. on their 2025 Texas stop. The plan is to keep the rooms getting bigger.

8. What else do you have planned for the rest of this year?

The year's winding down, so the focus is a music video for the single, getting merch out, and hitting more local gigs before we push further.

9. Where can we find you online, listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

N.T. is on Spotify, Apple Music, and every major platform. Instagram: @sinbiosis_. Come through.

10. What is it you'd like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?

How the song made them feel. Especially if they were already ready to party—or already in the middle of one.

Drawing inspiration from Burzum, Enslaved, and Silencer, the band pairs hypnotic repetition and atmospheric tension with Mayan and Nahuat symbolic motifs.

Rooted in old-school brutality, crushing riffs, and relentless aggression, the project stands out through mysterious atmospheres, solos, and contemplative lyricism. On the debut album "Philanthropist", Praise of Death moves beyond standard violence to explore nihilism, existential dread, and human self-destruction delivering a sound that is as savagely heavy as it is deeply unsettling and philosophical.

Pat DiNizio was truly one of the world’s best songwriters. I knew I wanted to do my own version of this song and it took many years to figure out the ideas that were in my head. I did not want to take away what he created, but add upon it without losing the message. I think we did it justice and opened the song to a new generation.”

"Blood And Roses was produced & engineered by Kevin Kipnis at BFOK Studios. Drums recorded at Saints in LA studio Co-produced by Michael Ciravolo. Mastering was completed by Grammy-nominated engineer Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles.

"Blood And Roses" is out now, check it HERE.

Death/Thrash Band DIABOLOGY Releases New Single "Them!," Announces Forthcoming EP Demons and Parasites


Los Angeles based Death-Thrash act DIABOLOGY presents the new single offering, "Them!." Imagining the horrors of AI in the form of killer robots through a B-horror movie lens, the track provides a first taste of the upcoming EP, Demons and Parasites. The EP is scheduled for release on February 12, 2027, via Dissonant Hymns Records.

On "Them!" DIABOLOGY comments: 

"The song’s title was inspired by a 50s B-horror movie of the same name about giant killer ants created by atom bombs. The movie was inspired by the atomic terror of the time, and with all of the discussion about AI leading to human extinction, I can’t help but feel that it’s the modern atomic terror. All of the band members are fans of sci-fi, and there’s definitely hints of Terminator and Star Trek inspiring these lyrics. These are probably some of my most heavy handed lyrics, but I don’t feel any need for subtly in saying ‘Fuck AI’."


"Them!" demonstrates the diversity of DIABOLOGY's genre-fusing sound. Opening with a striking drum fill followed by sweeping guitars and a galvanizing thrash riff, the track is heavy, melodic and catchy. Both harsh and clean vocals are present over the arrangement alongside guitar leads that are woven throughout "Them!."

Demons and Parasites was produced, mixed and mastered by Charles Elliott. The EP was recorded at Tastemaker Audio. Album cover artwork is by Anditya Dita (Poison Project).
