Influences:
Sounds Like: "Maitri's Lover of Sin is a gritty, violent and unquestionably metal project, with elements of classic black metal spiked with over the top hard core angst and crust punk attitude."
Starvox magazine.
"musically it is far closer to Black Metal than Goth" whatever they are they have helped to craft one bleak and depressing piece of work and it is certainly one of the darkest sounds I have heard all year"
Live4Metal.
"you'll find the music complemented by Maitri's relativley high brow and somewhat poetic lyrical content. It includes dark themes involving sexuality death and religion"
Alude.
"this is the sound of Armageddon , end of days, whatever you want to call it and it feels good"
Ytsejam.
"Hellfire goth and roll that grabs you by the throat with long black finger nails and thrashes you around like a sexed up, pissed off Cradle of Filth, righteous (fan)"Maitri's vocals are like a vampire seductress in a killing mood"
Sleezgrinder Magazine
"mixing gothic rock with a heavy dose of extreme metal a la Cradle of Filth" ultra fast riffing (guitars), thundering drumming, screeching vocals and complex arrangements"good stuff all around and an interesting change from what I normally listen to"
Metal Observer.
