Mother of Sin is a heavy metal band from the north of Holland, formed around former Elegy and PrimeTime singer/guitarist Eduard Hovinga. The combination of great instrumental skills, comlex songwriting and strong melodies, makes one think of a fusion between bands like Symphony-X, Cacophony and TNT. Shortly after the formation in 2003, the band recorded a demo cd. Because of the good reviews received in magazines and e-zines like Lords of Metal and Metal Guardian, the band got to play with some well-known international acts like Symphony-X, Joe Stump’s Reign of Terror and Hellstar/Distant Thunder. In 2004 MoS signed a record deal with the Italian recordlabel Adrenaline/Steelheart. The debut album, Apathy, was the next logical step. The band found a great producer in VandenBerg’s bassplayer Dick Kemper, who already did great productions with bands like VandenBerg, Krezip and Intwine, in his S&K studio. In 2004 the band recorded a MoS version of the Anthrax classic – Madhouse - for the ‘Tribute to the Glory of 80’s Metal’ album, as released by Adrenaline/Steelheart.
In october 2005 the debut cd Apathy, containing 10 tracks, was released. It got very good reviews by international media. Check out http://www.h2music.nl for more info.
