It’s no secret that Sinaya were strongly influenced by thrash and death metal—that’s a given. During the pandemic, however, things shifted creatively with the band and saw them moving into a tighter fusion of death metal and deathcore, inspired by a more modern take on metal. The result: Sinaya are now the world’s first deathcore band formed only by women.
Vocalist Mylena Monaco comments:
“Deathcore is a style that I’ve been listening to a lot in the last few years, and I’m falling in love with more and more every day. It’s a newer style, but more difficult to sing because it covers a lot of vocal techniques, and I’ve been studying a lot lately.
With Helena Nagagata joining the band in 2020, migrating to this style made it even easier, as she is a very versatile guitarist who has a background in progressive metal and its variations. She brought to this new album songs with heavier tunings, which lined up very well with my vocal ideas in this more deathcore style. After a lot of talking, chemistry, and strategies, we have decided together to start taking the band to this new modern sound …With this new album, we’re here to show that the woman in extreme metal is technical, has a lot of strength (both physically and mentally), and knows how to take a high-level band seriously!
Now we’re exploring another style of metal that we like, at a much higher level than what we used to do, and for that reason, I’ve decided to be a full-time vocalist, to be able to explore these new techniques even further. We had the support of great members of renowned deathcore bands, and one of them was CJ McMahon, lead singer of Thy Art is Murder, who you’ll be able to check out on this release.
“We are very happy with his featuring, as he is a huge reference for us and for the deathcore scene worldwide. Besides CJ, who represents this new era of Sinaya in deathcore, we have another great guest in the album: Diva Satanica, vocalist of Nervosa, who represents a celebration of women in metal. We invited Diva ’cause she’s not only an amazing singer but currently Nervosa and she is big icons in the world metal scene.”
