Nox Sinister cannot be confined to any one subgenre of metal. Blending together thrash, progressive, power, and death metal, Sinister creates a unique aggressive and theatrical sound that can only be described as “violent musical theatre.” Sinister in their live shows seek to create an atmosphere resembling that of an angry opera. Striking visuals, elaborate theatrics, and punishing music define their live shows that set any stage on fire.

Since forming as a small home-brewed operation helmed by singer Nathan “King Night” Shapiro , Nox Sinister has quickly evolved into one of the most formidable young guns in the Los Angeles metal scene. Guitarist Erick Garcia and bassist Jonny “Chaos” Heinz added their unique compositional skills to the outfit in late 2021 and since then have defined the sights and sounds of Sinister.

In 2023, Sinister teamed up with producer Carlos Cruz of  to produce their debut studio effort; Knight Terrors. The album was released in October of that year. Following the release of Knight Terrors, guitarist Ben Schwartz and drummer Clayton Barnack were added to the lineup. Sinister has most recently released their first pieces of material since their debut with the single, “Tell Me, Father.”
