Sinister Clothcat (two words, not three...!) are a progressive death metal band from Norwich, UK. the band formed in 2002 from the ashes of Serenity and Deleteasappropriate. Tired of being in bands that were 'pigeonholed' into a specific genre, Sinister Clothcat was born simply as an outlet for the songs they always wanted to write, but didnt fit too well with Serenitys straight death metal image. The bands sound remains undeniably heavy, whilst displaying influences ranging from melodic death / black metal to doom to even jazz (on occasions!) throughout their often epic compositions. After a year or so of gigging, the first 3 track demo Coincidence Puzzles was recorded. Shortly after, original drummer Ferret left to join local punk-metal outfit insaniac. In the following months,whilst searching for a drummer with the required skills for the job, it also became apparent that the newer, more complex material being written may also mean recruiting a second guitarist. Enter jules and Simon! The new, improved line-up began gigging relentlessly, taking any offer to play anywhere, anytime, often outshining the bands they were supporting in both technicality and musicianship. The band have recently finished the recording of their second C.D. 'When night-time thoughts persist' and is split up now, hahaha
