According to the info leaflet The Rebirth of Sin is not entirely new as it was recorded back in 2003, but due to various circumstances it didn't get released until this year so Neurotic is currently busy recording the successor to The Rebirth of Sin. Even though the music on The Rebirth of Sin is not exactly new it doesn't sound dated. The music is centred on death metal, modern death metal with a great deal of groove to be exact. The music does occasionally take a little detour which only adds more flavour to the songs. The pace is mostly kept down which gives it a somewhat relaxed feel, but the pace do quicken ever once in awhile adding further to the multiplicity.

The album was recorded in the band's own studio by guitarist Ângelo Rodrigues and he has succeeded in giving the music a fairly good sound. The sound is a little dry, but still with a heavy feel. Moreover none of the details seem to get lost in the soundscape which of course is a plus. The Rebirth of Sin is far from groundbreaking, but it definitely have its moments. The songs are skilfully written with plenty of catchy and groove parts. The single biggest minus on The Rebirth of Sin is that some of the songs tend to get a little too long. It's a minor detail, but it does have its effect. I found The Rebirth of Sin to be quite enjoyable and it definitely made me want to hear more from this promising band.
