SINISTER: "However, just as we were preparing to announce the new lineup in April, Adrie suddenly fell ill. Following an emergency surgery, his condition began to deteriorate drastically. Unfortunately, the illness has spread, and at this moment, we do not know what the future brings. Despite this, we initially hoped to perform at MDF. We first reached out to Mike Hrubovcak, who unfortunately couldn't make it due to his own concerts with I.C.E. and then Danny from Malignancy who was honored to do it."

noreply@blogger.com (SPAK) — Fri, 15 May 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Netherlands based death metal warriors SINISTER have announced band member ADRIE is sick and won't make the trip to the U.S.A. for MARYLAND DEATH FEST as DANNY from MALIGNANCY will fill in.

SINISTER have announced new drummer STEFANO RUMICH..

SINISTER have announced drummer TOEP DUIN have left the band.

SINISTER unleashed "DEFORMATION OF THE HOLY REALM", 5/22/2020 via MASSACRE RECORDS.

FROM SINISTER:

Dear Sinister friends and fans,

there has been a period of silence from our side lately, but it was for a very important reason.

After the New Year, the Sinister lineup began to evolve. Alongside Stefano Rumich, whom you already know, we welcomed Francesco Ponga as our new guitarist. Walter Tjwa has decided to focus on his band Radiathor, and we wish him nothing but the best on his journey.

We’ve been buried in work, practicing Sinister classic tracks to bring you exactly what you’ve been asking for years-an old-school set!

The band has truly become a family; we spend a lot of time together and practice constantly, as we finally all live close to one another-something that hasn't happened in over a decade.

However, just as we were preparing to announce the new lineup in April, Adrie suddenly fell ill. Following an emergency surgery, his condition began to deteriorate drastically. Unfortunately, the illness has spread, and at this moment, we do not know what the future brings.

Despite this, we initially hoped to perform at MDF. We first reached out to Mike Hrubovcak, who unfortunately couldn't make it due to his own concerts with I.C.E. and then Danny from Malignancy who was honored to do it.

However, due to Adrie's worsening condition, I can no longer leave his side. He requires 24/7 care, and my entire focus is on him. This May marks our 20th anniversary together, and we want to spend these moments by each other's side.

At MDF's suggestion, half of the Sinister lineup will still arrive on Saturday, May 23rd, to perform a special tribute set in Adrie's honor with Danny and Alex from Maligancy filling in for Adrie and me.

Thank you all for the overwhelming support. I’m sorry I can't reply to every message personally right now. Instead, please leave a kind thought for Adrie and I will make sure I read it to him.

Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-

MONSTERS OF THRASH: FLOTSAM AND JETSAM (USA) + MORTAL SIN w/ Hidden Intent & Livewire

AUSTRALIAN TOUR 2026 ANNOUNCED

For the first time ever down under, US thrash metal legends Flotsam and Jetsam will join forces with Australian thrash pioneers Mortal Sin for a devastating co-headline tour across Australia this September and October.

Like a two-headed beast of pure thrash fury, these genre-defining acts will deliver a relentless assault for Australian fans, bringing together decades of history, influence and raw power in one unmissable run.

Over a career spanning more than 40 years, Flotsam and Jetsam have stood shoulder to shoulder with the likes of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Venom, earning their place as one of thrash metal’s most respected and enduring names. From their landmark debut Doomsday for the Deceiver - famously awarded the only ever 6K rating in Kerrang! history - through to modern thrash masterpieces like The End of Chaos, Blood in the Water and I Am The Weapon, the Arizona legends continue to prove why they remain one of the genre’s most ferocious live acts.

The band now return armed with a brand-new album, Rats In The Temple, due out August 28 via Napalm Records. Described by vocalist Eric “A.K.” Knutson as “our best effort to date,” the record delivers 13 tracks of razor-sharp thrash packed with crushing riffs, ornate guitar harmonies, pummelling rhythms and dark lyrical themes centred around war, betrayal and human destruction. Early reports are already calling the album another major step forward in the band’s ongoing modern-era resurgence.

Fronted by the unmistakable voice of A.K. Knutson, Flotsam and Jetsam continue to thrive with arguably their strongest modern lineup yet, featuring founding guitarist Michael Gilbert alongside guitar shredder Steve Conley, powerhouse drummer Ken Mary - known for his work with Alice Cooper and Accept - and technically blistering bassist Bill Bodily.

Fresh from their long-awaited return to the stage, Mortal Sin continue to cement their place as Australia’s most influential thrash export. Following their comeback tour and exclusive appearances at major European festivals including Keep It True Festival, Alcatraz Metal Festival and Brutal Assault, alongside headline runs across Europe and Australia, the band show no signs of slowing down. This tour sees them bring their iconic catalogue and renewed firepower to Australian stages alongside an international thrash heavyweight, making for a truly special run of shows.

Joining them on all dates are South Australian thrash outfit Hidden Intent, known for their relentless live energy and global touring presence, alongside Sydney speed metal force Livewire, rounding out a stacked lineup of Australian heavy music.
