S.I.N.A. – Alte Liebe… (Album – Digital/CD – Hands)
Eighteen years after their last album, singer Sina Hübner and Stefan Böhm (aka Nullvektor) make a long-awaited and unexpected return with this new release. Both artists were also part of the legendary Pzychobitch, but S.I.N.A. has always leaned more towards the Experimental side, particularly within the Industrial genre. This latest work feels more like a mini-album, featuring 5 new tracks and 3 remixes. The influences are diverse, blending hard-hitting Industrial elements with touches of EBM and even venturing into idiosyncratic Ambient territory. Both Sina and Stefan share vocal duties, adding extra layers of diversity and emotion. The remixes, contributed by Monolith (my personal favorite), Ah Cama-Sotz, and Cervello Elettronico, bring additional depth to the album. While not everything sounds as it once did, S.I.N.A.’s return is reassuring in itself. (Rate:7).

About S.I.N.A.
S.I.N.A. is a German project formed around 2000 by Sina Hübner and Stefan Böhm, who also records as Nullvektor. The pair previously worked together in the mid-1990s project PzychoZone alongside Frank Klatt; after Klatt left, Hübner and Böhm continued as Pzychobitch before starting S.I.N.A. with a harder, more experimental industrial direction. “Alte Liebe…”, released via Hands in April 2024, is the project’s first album in eighteen years.

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
