Extreme Metal supergroup, SINSAENUM, have announced their long-awaited return with the release of their crushing new single, “In Devastation”, the title track of their forthcoming third studio album, due out August 8 via earMUSIC.
The band has shared the following message:
“Hey Sins, we are back!
It’s been nearly seven years since our last offering. In that time, life hit hard — we endured heartbreak, loss, and the weight of grief. The passing of our brother Joey Jordison still echoes in everything we do. We lost friends, family… parts of ourselves.
Through it all, we kept writing. That’s how ‘In Devastation’ came to life — not out of pressure, but out of need. This album helped us face the anger, the sadness, and everything in between.
Now it’s time to welcome our new drummer: Joyzi.
He’s family. He was Joey’s drum tech on tour — standing by him every night, beat after beat. Now he carries that spirit forward, stepping behind the kit. Please join us in welcoming him.”

The release marks the band’s first new material since the tragic passing of legendary drummer Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT, MURDERDOLLS) in 2021. Both the single and album serve as a cathartic tribute to Jordison and to guitarist and founder Frédéric Leclercq’s late father, whose deaths profoundly shaped the emotional and creative direction of the project.
“I was devastated, hence the title of this album,” Leclercq explains. “But we knew we had to carry on. This record is our tribute to my father, to Joey, and to anyone who’s ever had to find strength in their darkest moments.”
“In Devastation” is a 10-track tour de force of Blackened Death Metal infused with SINSAENUM’s signature melodic ferocity and experimental edge. Produced and mixed by acclaimed German audio engineer Lasse Lammert, the album explores new sonic territory for the band, blending intricate progressive elements, clean vocals, and even cello — without ever compromising their brutal core.
Joining Leclercq on this latest chapter are returning members Attila Csihar (MAYHEM), Sean Zatorsky (DÅÅTH), Stéphane Buriez (LOUDBLAST), and Heimoth (SETH). Stepping in behind the kit is Andre Joyzi, formerly Jordison’s tech and a trusted member of the band’s touring family — chosen not only for his skills, but for the emotional connection he brings to continuing Jordison’s legacy.
Tracks like “Obsolete and Broken” and “The Last Goodbye” showcase the band’s musical and emotional evolution, from raw aggression to haunting reflection. Leclercq describes the latter as “the most personal we’ve done,” while songs like “Shades of Black” and “Over the Red Wall” push the band into new anthemic and speed-driven territory.
Following the critically acclaimed “Echoes Of The Tortured” (2016) and “Repulsion For Humanity” (2018), “In Devastation” cements SINSAENUM’s place at the vanguard of Modern Metal — a band forged in grief but fueled by defiance.
