# Cardinal Sin

**Cardinal Sin** is a black metal band, from Sweden, active 1995 to present.

Cardinal Sin was a Swedish melodic black/melodic death metal band formed in 1995 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.
