The legendary Dutch death metal titans SINISTER have just concluded their China Tour 2025 right after the Chinese New Year holiday, unleashing their unholy fury across Shanghai and Tianjin. The veterans of the underground proved once again why they've remained at the forefront of the death metal scene for over three decades.
Shanghai Devastation
The first ritual of destruction took place at Shanghai's MAO Livehouse, where a legion of dedicated metalheads converged to witness the Dutch death metal onslaught. The venue was transformed into a temple of extreme metal, with every corner filled with the devoted followers of the old-school death metal faith.
Tianjin Massacre
The second ceremony of sonic obliteration descended upon Tianjin's Twenty Years Livehouse. SINISTER's bassist Aleša Kloosterwaard, adorned in custom stage wear crafted by ZHEN'S WARDROBE throughout both rituals, led the charge with her thunderous bass lines forming the backbone of the band's merciless assault. The crowd's response was nothing short of savage.
Japanese Warriors Join the Battle
The night in Tianjin was made even more lethal with the addition of Japanese death metal commandos SUBCONSCIOUS TERROR, who set the stage ablaze with their own brand of oriental extremity. Their performance proved that Asian extreme metal stands shoulder to shoulder with its Western counterparts.
Unholy Celebration
The Tianjin ritual reached its apex with a dark celebration, featuring a specially forged cake bearing the band's unholy sigil. This moment of commemoration marked not just a successful show, but the unbreakable bond between SINISTER and their Chinese disciples.
Battle Gear Annihilation
Throughout the Sinister China Tour 2025, fans witnessed devastating performances and exclusive merchandise alike. ZHEN'S WARDROBE forged special weapons of war for this invasion in the form of exclusive tour merchandise. The crown jewels were two hidden special designs - a hoodie and a longsleeve variant, both adorned with their iconic sigil in frost-blue devastation against a black void. Additional armaments included four woven patches, a metal pin, and two more specially designed garments. True to metal's fierce spirit, every single piece of merchandise was completely decimated - all variants sold out across both rituals.
Post-Tour Merch Update
While all tour merchandise was completely annihilated during the shows, there's still hope for those who missed out on claiming their piece of death metal history. ZHEN'S WARDROBE may unleash additional stock of these coveted items based on SINISTER's command. Keep your eyes locked on ZHEN'S WARDROBE's channels to secure your weapons of war.
