1) Sinner is a German heavy metal band formed in 1980 by vocalist and bassist Mat Sinner (Goddess Shiva, Primal Fear). Their most recent album, 'Mask Of Sanity' was released in January of 2007.

Based in Baden-Württemberg, Sinner released their first album, Wild'N'Evil' in 1982. This album, along with the next two ('Fast Decision' and 'Danger Zone') were raw affairs, having little in common with the melodic metal they would later become known for. After many personnel changes, the band saw the addition of Accept's Herman Frank on guitars and the release of 'Touch Of Sin' in 1985. Frank would leave before the next album, 1986's 'Comin' Out Fighting'.

1987 saw the release of 'Dangerous Charm', a much more melodic album than previous efforts, but shortly after this the band took a break and wouldn't be heard of again for five years.

In 1990 Mat Sinner released a solo album called 'Back To The Bullet' with a completely new band. This same band reformed Sinner and released 'No More Alibis' in 1992, an album far heavier than anything Sinner had released before. This renewed vigour coupled with songwriting that far exceeded the band's previous releases not only carried on but strengthened with 'Respect' in 1994 and 'Bottom Line' in 1995, the latter staying in the Japanese national charts for five weeks. Since the reformation the band's reputation had improved immensely, touring as support for bands such as Mr. Big and Savatage as well as headlining their own German tour and releasing a live album. Sinner were to reach even higher peaks though, releasing two hugely successful albums with 'Judgement Day' in 1997 and 'The Nature Of Evil' in 1998 before touring Europe as support for rock giants Deep Purple. 'The Nature Of Evil' was the band's most successful album to date, reaching 63 in the German album charts.

In 1998 Mat Sinner and Tom Naumann, who had been with Sinner since their reformation in 1992 formed Primal Fear with ex-Gamma Ray vocalist Ralf Scheepers. Mat Sinner has been involved as a driving force in both Sinner and Primal Fear to this day.

In 2000 the band saw its first line-up change in five years as several members left, including guitarist Tom Naumann while ex-Helloween and Gamma Ray's Uli Kusch filled in on drums for 'The End Of Sanctuary'. However, in 2003 the previous 1995-1999 line-up renewed itself and released 'There Will Be Execution' before going quiet again for four years. In the past nine years the band had released six albums, each as good, if not better than the last, proving to be the band's most successful period. This success would continue, as after releasing two more albums with Primal Fear and an album with his pre-Sinner band Goddess Shiva, Mat Sinner brought Sinner back with mainstays Tom Naumann (guitar) and Frank Rössler (keyboards) to release 'Mask Of Sanity' in 2007. This album spawned two popular singles in 'Diary Of Evil' and 'Black' and included a faithful rendition of Thin Lizzy's 'Please Don't Go'.

2) Sinner was British NWOBHM band formed in 1978 which released one single Need Your Love / Beggar / God's in His Heaven (1979).

3) Polish death metal band.

4) Blackened hardcore from Niagara, Ontario, Canada. https://sinnerculture.bandcamp.com/

Sinner Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

she was young she was sweet, dressed in black danced to the beat
she was fallen from the darkside
I kissed her lips, felt her skin
touched her heart, i cant go back
the world was turning upside down
she healed my wounds she drank my blood
I´´m leaving this world, a new demention calls

she can´t see me,
she can´t hear me
but she feels me
and the girl in black stole my bleeding heart

in the heat of the night
I touched her heart
I felt her lips
she came from out of no where
she healed my wounds
she drank my blood
i´m leaving this world a new demention calls

she can´t see me,
she can´t hear me
but she feels me
and the girl in black she stole my bleeding heart
she can´t see me,
she can´t hear me
but she feels me
and the girl in black she stole my bleeding heart

she can´t see me,
she can´t hear me
but she feels me
and the girl in black she stole my bleeding heart
she can´t see me,
she can´t hear me

but she feels me
and the girl in black she stole my bleeding heart

Overall Meaning

The song "Black" by Sinner tells the story of a young woman who is described as sweet and dressed in black, who has fallen from the dark side. The singer kisses her lips, feels her skin, and touches her heart, but he can't go back. The world is turning upside down, but she helps to heal his wounds and drinks his blood. He is leaving the world for a new dimension, and she can't see him or hear him, but she feels him. The girl in black stole his bleeding heart.

The lyrics suggest that the singer has been drawn into a dangerous and seductive world, represented by the girl in black. She is both alluring and mysterious, and he is powerless to resist her charms. He is also aware that he is leaving the world and entering a new dimension, perhaps symbolizing his own personal transformation or spiritual awakening.

The theme of forbidden love or a dangerous attraction is common in many rock songs, but "Black" by Sinner takes a different approach by adding a supernatural or mystical quality to the relationship. The lyrics are open to interpretation, and they might be seen as a metaphor for addiction, obsession, or a hypnotic spell. The singer is both fascinated and frightened by the girl in black, and he is struggling to break free from her hold.
