Got this in the mail on Monday, while I await the big box. @classicmetalshow I thought you were kidding about them doing acoustic numbers during the show. Low Man’s Lyric is on this live from Giants Stadium in New Jersey.

GERMAN HARD ROCK LEGENDS SINNER ARE GOING OUT WITH A MASSIVE, METAL BANG! NEW SINGLE IS PURE FIRE!

HELL YEAH! Put on your heavy metal boots and get ready to bang your head until your neck breaks! The German hard rock gods, SINNER, are back, and they just dropped a brand new single called "Leave It All Behind!" This track is a total beast! It starts out slow like a classic power ballad, but then it kicks you right in the teeth and builds into an epic, screaming anthem! It has all those killer 1980s metal vibes but mixed with a modern sound that is heavy enough to crush a tank!

GET BOOM BANG GOODBYE ON VINYL FROM SINNER: https://amzn.to/4xNsHVb

 

 

This song is the next taste of their upcoming album, "Boom Bang Goodbye," which drops on July 31, 2026! But wait, there is some sad news that makes my metal heart bleed. This is going to be their FINAL studio album ever! After over forty years, nineteen insane albums, and tons of wild tours around the globe, Mat Sinner and his crew are calling it quits. They are going out at full volume! Mat Sinner said making this song was an absolute blast, and his buddy Ronnie Romero completely tore it up on vocals!

placeholder

THIS RULES! They brought in an all-star army of metal legends for this final record, like guys from PRIMAL FEAR, RAINBOW, SOILWORK, and KISSIN' DYNAMITE! The mix is ultra-fat and heavy as hell, thanks to Jacob Hansen who mixed and mastered it to perfection. If you love real, loud, skull-crushing hard rock, you need to turn this up to eleven right now! Sinner is leaving it all behind, and they are going out like true metal warriors!
