Cardinal Sin was a Swedish melodic black/melodic death metal band formed in 1995 [2] by ex-Dissection member John Zwetsloot. In 1996, they released a four-track EP titled Spiteful Intents, which featured a trademark classical composition by Zwetsloot. Having disbanded after the EP, they reformed in 2003 with a partially new lineup, but have yet to release anything beyond Spiteful Intents. [3]

Metal Hammer journalist Robert Müller wrote that since the group were focussed around the guitarists John Zwetsloot and Devo Andersson, there were no doubts about the technical quality, though the EP's sound was "established and all too well-known". [4]
