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/
God Raises The Dead
Sinner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A different level of incarnation
The second pumping in my breast
At the end of our darkest quest
No matter how paranoid you are
You're moving through the some
It's so bizarre
And if he needs my help he's calling
He's calling me
If you're dealing with the devil's dance
A prayer for me, one more chance
A silent weapon for a quiet war
Knocks us down, even to the core
The lyrics of Sinner's song God Raises The Dead seem to be discussing a profound moment of creation or rebirth, perhaps within oneself. The songwriter describes feeling a second pumping in their breast, which seems to hint at a powerful surge of energy and vitality. The tone of the lyrics is somewhat ominous, possibly suggesting that this newfound power comes at a cost or requires some sort of sacrifice. The songwriter acknowledges that even the most paranoid individuals are moving through something, although it's described as bizarre or strange.
The chorus of the song focuses on the idea of God raising the dead, and the songwriter seems to suggest that if God needs their help, they will be called upon. There is a sense of duty and responsibility in these lyrics, as well as a feeling of being chosen or called for a specific purpose. The second verse references a "devil's dance" and a "quiet war," perhaps alluding to struggles with temptation or inner turmoil. The use of a silent weapon further emphasizes the sense of danger and urgency in this verse. Overall, the lyrics of God Raises The Dead are enigmatic and open to interpretation, leaving plenty of room for personal reflection and introspection.
