Additional notes
Infamous Sinphony launched at a point in time when Southern California was producing the majority of the Metal World’s most successful acts. The likes of Slayer, Exodus, Megadeth, DRI, Excel & Metallica paved the way for a new breed of Crossover Hardcore Metal that would define the late 80’s and early 90’s.
Infamous Sinphony is defined exactly by that; a blend of highly technical and well written Thrash Metal riffs combined with a complex rhythm section and infused with vocal style pulled from the depths of the US Punk-Metal scene. The true definition of Crossover.
The story is a common one. No different than what was happening all over the United States during this era. However, the Infamous combination of talent, personalities, drive and dedication would see the San Diego based Infamous Sinphony enjoy a level of success that only a select few reached.
Signed to Wild Rags Records, Infamous Sinphony released their Debut Album “Manipulation” in 1989. Infamous’s “Manipulation” album quickly received critical acclaim in the Metal Media, even receiving 4 out of 5 “K’s” in KERRANG! Magazine (#234 April, 15 1989). Enjoying international distribution “Manipulation” became one of Wild Rags Record’s most successful releases feeding expanding US Metal markets in Europe and South America.
Following a 5 year run with Wild Rags Record’s the Infamous would release additional recordings on Chainsaw Records before regrouping in 2010.
After 20 years the Infamous continue to grow together through this experience and enjoy being a part of something that can never be taken away.
“The Metal world is finally ready for another shot of the Sinphony” - G. Raymond
Infamous Sinphony are back in full force releasing an all new 12 track Compact Disc;
“Enemies of the State” for 2013 featuring the original line up. The new record can only be described as a continuation of the Infamous sound with the advantages of modern day production.
Infamous Sinphony’s “Enemies of the State” was produced independently by Infamous Sinphony with the intent of securing Distribution and/or Record Label partnerships.
Do Not Be Denied!
Artists we like:
