Statement - Sinister Thing (2025)

Statement's 2025 album, Sinister Thing, marks a "bold new chapter" for the Danish hard rock quintet, taking listeners on a "darker, heavier ride" while staying true to their "unmistakable melodic roots," according to Metal Shock Finland. The publication notes the band's evolution, pushing their sound into "more aggressive territory without sacrificing melody." The album's creation involved a dedicated songwriting retreat, leading to a "deeper, weightier soundscape" through a shift to drop C tuning.

The Razor's Edge describes the album as "very mid paced," with songs featuring a "minimalist verse both in riff and vocal, that then bursts with colour during the lighter chorus." They note the metal is "very modern, tightly played" but suggests it "lacks variation." Producer Tue Madsen's "precision production" is highlighted by Metal Shock Finland as elevating the album, making it "both a nod to the band's roots and a powerful step forward," reaffirming their place in the hard rock and metal scene.
