Chapter two of this Vader lite band's discography succeeds largely where the last record (review in issue #4) did, namely that Doc (Vader's drummer) is still in the group, showcasing his masterful blasting skills, and that the solos continue to be more to listen to than Vader's. However, the songs really don't have much to say for themselves aside from being Polish death metal and blasting a lot, and this album is even less memorable than the last one.
So you get all of Vader's execution but none of its charm. Still, if you're like me, it's hard to turn down a record with Doc on it, and while there isn't really anything terribly wrong with The Sin War, there's just too much else out there that is more deserving of your money. (5.5/10)
