releases April 23,FOR FANS OF: Dokken, Ratt, Quiet Riot, Loudness & Motley Crue, 2021 SINISTAR began to form in 1984 in upstate New York as a 3-piece under the moniker MANIA by high-school students Malcolm Lovegrove on guitar/vocals, bassist Norman Nilson.
Lovegrove would meet Caglione through a mutual friend. This trio line-up would be brief due to Lovegrove moving to East Greenbush, NY in 1985 where he, along with Caglione, would recruit guitarist Chuck Wager and bassist Mark Goyette to form a new band dubbed SINISTAR.
SINISTAR began playing around with several cover songs by BLACK SABBATH, AC/DC, RATT, METALLICA and MOTLEY CRUE. Meanwhile, the band would be writing their material. In 1986 SINISTAR entered Divine Sound studios to record their first 6-song demo titled “Children of the Night”. Additional guitarist Mike Obrien would be brought into the line-up during this time.
