Ottawa, Canada's Sinful Ways return in 2021 to unleash their sophomore EP "Darkest Days".
"Darkest Days" is a solid EP that blends melodic and thrashy elements along with three members sharing vocal duties, bassist Brad Lake doing cleans, drummer Dave Matlak doing main screams, and guitarist Frank Lahache on backing screams. The recording is an eighteen-minute exploration of war, anarchy, third world struggles, and mental health. Engaging fans with a mood-setting intro of crows, bells, and the wind, Sinful Ways lay a path into the opening track 'Vow of the Devil', a riffy, thrashy melodic vs. harsh experience. From there that band gets your fist-pumping with the anthemic 'Bury The Hatchet', which only gets you prepared for the perfectly titled 'Manhattan', an atomic bomb song solely written with a mosh pit in mind. To close out the EP, fans will experience 'Pursuit', the band's most adventurous song that features an orchestral arrangement at the start before slamming into harmonized, sweep picking guitars.
"Darkest Days" was produced and mixed by Cameron Dunn and mastered by Scott Middleton at Hillside Audio in Toronto. EP Artwork by Nik Paquin.
"Darkest Days" follows Sinful Ways' debut 2019 EP "To Hell Tonight", and 2020 stand-alone singles "Burst into Flames" plus "No Escape".
