History
The term Sinister Violence means Diabolical Bloodshed. Sinister Violence was formed in the later half of 2008 with Binay on vocals, ex- Sinful Oath guitarist Karan on guitars, Amardeep on drums and Sawyum on bass. The band performed a few local gigs and college fests. However, Binay parted ways and was replaced by Gyaltzen who later came to be known as "Insane Lucifer" onstage and now known as GODOFDEATH. The band spent some time at Angels Recording Studio in Darjeeling and recorded their demos "Suicidal Tendency" and "Werewolf". Both the songs were well appreciated by the local metal scene and the band slowly but steadily grew in popularity. The year 2009 came to an end with Sawyum quitting the band and later followed by Amardeep. The vacant positions were quickly filled up by Wangden taking on bass and Anuj on drums. The band also recruited a keyboardist to make their sound a bit more symphonic and Anil happily filled the slot.
Demos
The very first demos to be recorded by Sinister Violence was Suicidal Tendency and later Werewolf. The lyrics basically deals with mystical creatures, the feeling of death and slightly tilts towards a more gothic writing. Both the songs were recorded at Angels Recording Studio in Darjeeling during the chilling winter of 2009.The year 2011 marked the return of Sinister Violence with 3 brutal compositions- Lordess ov Destruction, Kingdom Ov Blood and Fire and Sacrificial Goat which were very much appreciated by the metal community. Werewolf was re-recorded later with an essence of symphonic metal.
Gigs & Battle of the Bands
2010 turned up to be a good year for Sinister Violence as they participated in various major gigs, some of them being Nepal, Japan, Canada and USA tour for international gigs and Channel V Launchpad in Goa and Pubrock Fest Zonal Finals at Someplace Else in Kolkata. to be in indian shows The band won major music contest as much as they have participated
Musical Style and Influences
The band describes their music as Blackened Gore Metal and have been much inspired by bands like Dimmu Borgir, Dying Fetus, Marduk, Last Days Of Humanity, Graveworm, My Dying Bride etc. The lyrics basically revolves under anti religious agendas, the fear of death, necromancy and mystical demons. The guitars are mainly detuned making the sound more heavy, blast drum beats and the addition of a keyboard has given a dramatic feeling of doom/ symphonic metal. However, the vocal variations are a bit unpredictable which ranges from guttural growls, grunts, whispers and even pig squeals.
ABOUT GOD OF DEATH
- Gyaltzen Yonzon aka GODOFDEATH fka INSANE LUCIFER
The Foundation of Steel
The journey began in 1994 in the misty hills of Kurseong, Darjeeling. While most children were discovering toys, a three-year-old was discovering the weight of his own fists. For over two decades, life was defined by the ring and the mat. Through Karate, Kickboxing, and MMA, he built a legacy that sounds like myth: 83 national and international tournaments. 83 wins. 0 losses. He represented India on the world stage and walked away from the sport the only way a warrior hopes to undefeated.
The Sound of Shadows
But the discipline of the dojo had a darker, more creative twin. Parallel to the fights, he was a pillar of the underground scene in Darjeeling. As a member of the blackened death metal band Sinister Violence, he traded the roar of the crowd in the ring for the guttural intensity of the stage. The aggression of combat found its voice in music, touring and playing gigs that cemented his place in the subculture.
The American Odyssey
In 2014, the journey took a transcontinental turn. Moving to the USA, he traded physical gloves for digital ones. The same "zero-loss" mentality translated perfectly to professional gaming. He rose through the ranks of the Mortal Kombat circuit, dominated in Tekken , and eventually became a standout talent in the American Mobile Legends scene, playing for some of the most prestigious teams in the region. For ten years, he lived at the intersection of streaming, professional play, and international competition.
The Homecoming and The Resurrection
In 2024, after a decade of conquering the West, he returned to India. He didn't come back to rest; he came back to build. Seeing the untapped potential of the Indian gaming community, he retired from his life as a solo pro-streamer to become a bridge. He brought with him the elite tactical knowledge of the US pro-circuit to uplift his home country.
This transition birthed YamaEsports a name synonymous with the King of the Underworld and sparked his personal rebranding: Rise of God Of Death. It is the final evolution of a man who has been a champion, a musician, and a pioneer. He isn't just building a team; he is building an empire based on the same undefeated discipline that started in Darjeeling thirty years ago.
