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.

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.
