Sinistro unveils brooding new video, “Semente”

When you think of Portugal, you probably imagine sun, sea and sangria - but there's so much more to it than that. Scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a universe of music and culture obsessed with darkness and the morbid. One band who've got this down to a fine art is Sinistro, Gigwise said.

“A brooding but sensual foray into the dark side, 'Semente' is an accomplished and cinematic lacing of sound - and the video is fittingly gripping,” Gigwise said.

"The last song to be composed for this album was the title-track 'Semente'," says Sinistro. "Patrícia's vocal part derives from an improvisation with ad lib lyrics. Three takes were recorded and in the end used the first one. Our director José Dinis came up with the concept and the idea of a slow motion sequence shot in a way that all light and camera work had to be choreographed. After a few trials we finally got it right."

Sinistro release new album 'Semente' on 8 April.
