Sinate formed in June 2005, by September that same year they had recorded and released their debut album ‘Beyond Human’. Following up with a number of shows in October and a 7 date tour of New Zealand in November, it was clear that Sinate was going places. After more shows during December, a 17 date tour of New Zealand followed throughout January, February, and March of 2006.
Then it was off to Sweden to record their 2nd album, ‘Violent Ambitions’, with World renowned producer ‘Pelle Saether’. Upon their return Sinate kept playing shows throughout the country including ‘The Metal Day Out’ which hosted 18 bands, both International and Local. Australia was next for Sinate, playing at Brisbane’s popular ‘Hellfest’. Yet another tour of New Zealand followed, this time with Brisbane based band State Of Integrity.
Along came 2007 and the Main Stage at the Big Day Out. A 23 date tour of New Zealand in support of ‘Violent Ambitions’ was next for Sinate, this tour included playing with 4 International giants, ‘Suffocation’, ‘God Forbid’,’Mastodon’, and the almighty ‘SLAYER’. After a short break Sinate headed off on their “Attacked From Within’ Tour” which was kicked off opening up for Motorhead and finished by opening for Polish band Behemoth. 2008 will see Sinate playing at the Mammoth Metal fest, the renowned Audience with the Devil, the V8 SuperGig in Hamilton and the Brutalfest in Brisbane, Australia. Also in the works, a nation wide tour of NZ and also some dates in Aussie to coincide with the Brutalfest.
2008 also saw Drummer Sam Sheppard get full endorsement from Paiste Cymbals. He becomes only the third person in New Zealand to receive this honour.
In late 2008 Sinate recruited Munro Goodwin from Chugganaut on bass, and in early 2009 got Matt Fawcett from Dammed Age on lead guitar. Sam Sheppard recently recieved sponsorship from Tama NZ and signature sticks from Promark.
In 4 years Sinate have recorded 2 albums (with a 3rd in the making), released 5 video’s, and played over 100 shows in New Zealand, Australia and Europe (with more booked).
