Syn Ze Şase Tri was formed in 2007 by Corb (guitar, vocals), who was inspired by the bloody history and myths of his motherland Transylvania. Focusing on the figure of the warrior, the band started to compose the first songs about their ancestors, the way of the Dacian warriors and their beliefs, their gods, their last days and their prayers. The band name itself - Syn Ze Şase Tri - means '' I'm with triple six '', but not in the satanic way; the meaning of 666 referring to the supreme number, a limit between the human world and the world of the gods, in ancient mythology. The band signed with Italian label code666 for the release of debut album ‘Între două lumi’ (‘Between Two Worlds’), which they recorded in Negură Bunget's studio. However, in 2009 Corb joined that band, recording ‘Virstele Pamintului’ and touring, which meant that he put his own on hold. It wasn’t until 2011 that Syn Ze Şase Tri were ready to finally release the debut, and since then they have been touring and recording.
2017 sees them back with a new line-up, with Corb joined by Șuier (vocals), Moș (guitars) and Dor (drums), and their fourth album ‘Zăul Moş’ (The Elder God). To me this music is nothing less than the bringing together of the mighty Dimmu Borgir at their peak with Negură Bunget, creating something that is powerful, passionate, totally over the top and bombastic but also bringing in folk influences when the time is right. It is a huge sounding album, and credit must be given to Paso who was responsible for the mixing and mastering. I don’t know who provided the keyboards on the album, but the sound really ties everything together and gives them a symphonic sound that lifts the music, Lyrically and musically this is a continuation of the themes that Corb has been pursuing for the last ten years, and he feels that the album is “the greatest achievement of the band, by creating through the melody, intensity, message and feeling, one cinematic approach of our concept. Furthermore, with the help of our guests, which are the greatest musicians at this moment from the Romanian metal scene, we made a step forward by incorporating more genres, more vocal styles and elements which complements our vision, having the opportunity to give one more realistic feel to all the characters of our story, besides our orchestrations and vocals.” This is an album that could really lift Syn Ze Şase Tri to the next level.
