Danish hard rock/metal powerhouse STATEMENT celebrate the release of their fifth studio album “Sinister Thing”, out today via Mighty Music. Marking a bold new chapter for the band, “Sinister Thing” takes listeners on a darker, heavier ride, while staying true to the band’s unmistakable melodic roots.
This release sees the Danes evolving like never before. Determined to raise the stakes, the band dove deep into their own history, not to repeat, but to challenge themselves artistically. The result? A record that amplifies their core identity with newfound intensity, pushing their sound into more aggressive territory without sacrificing melody.
Crafted through one of the band’s most immersive creative journeys to date, “Sinister Thing” was born from reflection and reinvention. Statement locked themselves away for a dedicated songwriting retreat, resulting in standout tracks like “The Hive,” “Raised in Hell,” “The Right Kind of Love,” and “My Last Goodbye.” The album’s sonic evolution -shifting from drop D to drop C tuning – delivers a deeper, weightier soundscape, reflecting the band’s sharpened artistic vision.
“Sinister Thing” is out now on on LP (black vinyl limited to 200 copies and transparent red vinyl limited to 100 copies), CD and digital, via Mighty Music. It can be ordered via this link.
Lyrically, the album cuts close to home, channeling personal experiences and stories from their inner circle. Every song was meticulously reworked, ensuring each riff and lyric hits with maximum impact – an effort that pushed the band to make some of their toughest creative choices yet.
Teaming up once again with acclaimed producer Tue Madsen (Antfarm Studio), who helmed their first two albums, Statement has crafted a record that captures the full force of their heavier direction. Madsen’s precision production elevates “Sinister Thing” into an album that’s both a nod to the band’s roots and a powerful step forward.
With “Sinister Thing”, the quintet reaffirm their place in the hard rock and metal scene, offering fans a record that is as fierce as it is melodic. Available now on LP and CD formats and on all major platforms, the album promises to resonate with both longtime followers and new listeners alike.
“Sinister Thing” is out now – dive in and experience Statement at their heaviest and most ambitious yet.
