Hailing from Lisbon, Portugal, and driven by five unique individuals from distinct art circles, SINISTRO are devastatingly heavy and graceful.
Since 2012, the band have delivered a unique take on doom rock accentuated with a soundtrack-esque approach that has given raise to their reputation as an essential name in the Portuguese art and music scene.
Despite being a comparatively new entity, the members of SINISTRO are no strangers to their native music scene. The band features prominent Portuguese thespian Patricia Andrade, as well as a music producer, and instrumentalists, who have played in bands such as WE ARE THE DAMNED, BESTA, MOURNING LENORE, and many others.
