Sinsaenum is a multinational blackened death metal supergroup, formed in 2016. The band features French guitarists Frédéric Leclercq and Stéphane Buriez, American vocalist Sean Zatorsky in a co-lead role with Hungarian vocalist Attila Csihar, French bassist Heimoth and Portuguese drummer André Joyzi. Up until his death in late July 2021, American drummer Joey Jordison performed drum duties. Sinsaenum released their debut album Echoes of the Tortured in July 2016.

== History == The conception of Sinsaenum can be traced as far back as 1998, when Frédéric Leclercq (best known as the longest-serving bassist of English power metal band DragonForce) began writing a number of death metal songs. After recruiting fellow guitarist Stéphane Buriez of Loudblast for the project, Leclercq was contacted by drummer Joey Jordison (known for his work with Slipknot, then a member of Murderdolls, Scar the Martyr and later of VIMIC) with the intention of working together, who later became involved in the project. Jordison proposed the band name Sinsaenum, a modified portmanteau of the words "sin" and "insane". The trio later added Attila Csihar (of Norwegian black metal band Mayhem, also a member of Tormentor, Aborym and Sunn O)))) and Sean Zatorsky of American death/groove metal group Dååth as dual lead vocalists, in addition to Heimoth from French black metal band Seth on the bass to complete the lineup. The formation of the band was officially announced on 20 May 2016.
