The ancient gate is open. From it, horrors old, evil unbelievable, and spells ghastly unfold. Germany/Basque Region-based death metal spirits Sijjin have made the call, and there’s no turning back. Sijjin — Arabic for “vehement” or “a terrible place in the bottom of Hell” — are comprised of bassist/vocalist Malte Gericke (ex-Necros Christos), Iván Hernández (Extinction), and Ekaitz Garmendia (Extinction). The terrible troika blew the valley of Hinnom wide open with their blessedly sick Angel of the Eastern Gate demo in 2019.
