cardinal sin are a death/black metal band formed in 1995 by ex-dissection member john zwetsloot .
in 1996 , they released a 4-track ep called `` 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 '' .
daniel ekeroth described their musical style as `` typical mid-90 's death/thrash '' .
`` 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 to well-known '' .
