Mad Sin is a German psychobilly group that began in 1987.

Style

Mad Sin, formed in 1987, have been inspired by horror punk and B-movies, with a theatrical style which they describe as not "...constrained by the psychobilly tag but veer[ing] into punk, country and metal influences too."[1]

Without abandoning the psycho-horror lyrical content, their musical arrangements have widened to incorporate other variables.[2] The band's style is described by The Prague Post as "a sped-up combination of rockabilly, punk, white-trash blues and tongue-in-cheek sarcasm".[3]
