History

Uncle Sinner was formed in 2008 when Michael Bodner recorded his first album Ballads and Mental Breakdowns with the help of his friend Matt McLeod (AKA Fuller Vengeance). Backed by McLeod, Bodner released his debut album on December 9, 2008.[4]

He released his second album titled A Pocketful of Glass Eyes digitally in March 2014 to help raise money to purchase recording equipment for his home studio.[5]

His third album, Let The Devil In, was released in February 2015 and created using the funds raised from the previous album.[6] The album continues to showcase Bodner's ability to adapt and transform old folk, blues, and gospel songs to suit his own gothic style. The album was entirely self-recorded, mixed, and distributed by Bodner. In August 2018, Uncle Sinner toured Eastern Europe playing songs from his first three albums.[7]

Uncle Sinner's fourth album, Trouble Of This World, was released in mid-March 2020. The album is dedicated to the memory of Matt "Fuller Vengeance" McLeod.[8]
