Blending dark atmospheres shrouded in ominous and haunting soundscapes with themes grounded in seemingly light-hearted concepts like empathy and communication, The Infinity Process bring ‘Sinister’ to life. The group, which takes strong influence from alternative metal outfits like Deftones and Evanescence, bring a melodic approach to metal. Each instrument is replete with tonalities that unleash a slew of emotions onto the listener. It’s outwardly heavy, but inwardly soft; the kind of metal that has an appeal that goes beyond the often stereotyped metalhead. The seven year old outfit from Ohio has shared the stage in supporting roles for Sponge, Helmet, Trapt, We Are Harlot, and Madame Mayhem. Now, they’re well on course to be their own headline.
“Sinister is about being manipulated, consumed, or controlled by something, and not even being fully aware of it. Being unable to escape any type of vice that has control of you. “ The song’s atmosphere resonates strongly with that concept, creating an overbearing and unsettling air that still carries an empathetic energy within. In essence it’s also about struggles, everything from toxic relationships to addiction. It’s opulent in scale and grounded in vision, a seamless linkage that anyone can empathise with.
