Fresh from their earth shaking, career best (so far) performance at Bloodstock Open Air Festival last weekend, Northern UK EDM metalcore powerhouses Waterlines are delighted to bring you their brand new single, Sinister!
First showcased by Waterlines on the Sophie Lancaster Stage at Bloodstock this past Saturday, Sinister is the culmination of everything that has led Waterlines to this point so far. Hard riffs, fierce beats and the ever expanding vocal powers of frontman Benji Mars? Check. The heaviest growls? Check. Beautiful soaring melodies? Check. There’s nothing this man cannot do – all in the same song!
For the video for Sinister, the band have taken things back in time with a retro, 80’s style colour scheme mixed with an eight bit graphical style mixed with modern production. Don’t take our word for it – just watch the video below!
For more about Sinister’s creation, we hand over to the previously mentioned man of a thousand vocal styles, Ben Mars:
“Sinister was written at a time when I felt that I wasn’t the architect of my own life, I felt that my happiness and my sadness were dictated to me. So, in classic Waterlines fashion, this song is my way of spitting out the bile and taking back the power to choose. To decide when I want to be happy, when I want to be sad, and when I just want everyone to leave me the fuck alone.
Also I like breakdowns, so there’s that too…”
