Very aggressive electronic
It's been described as dark vampire music. & Flush Magazine said "You can put shinma between your Vampire Wars DVD's & your Marilyn Manson CD's!"
& Editor's Review from download.com: This Belleville, Illinois industrial-electronic outfit classifies itself as "intelligent techno," which makes one wonder about the IQ of all those other beatsmiths. But if Shinma are snobs of the synth boards, they deserve to be, what with tracks that shift nimbly between spooky ambient, hard European house, and the industrial grit of the American Midwest.
After years of playing in various bands in the St Louis area, Shinma was formed in 1999 by Ken VH, accompanied by a diverse group of live members and collaborators. His eclectic electronic music is heavily influenced by anime and horror films, Latin culture, and video games.
