SINE

SINE is the dark electro and industrial project of Austin, Texas drummer and multi-instrumentalist Rona Rougeheart, who calls her sound "electronic boom": abrasive rhythms, sub-bass and infectious songwriting.

SINE arrived in 2019 with the album INSOMNIÆ and the Injected EP, followed in 2020 by "Desolate District" featuring Chris Connelly. In 2021 SINE signed with Austin's eMERGENCY heARTS, founded by Scott Crow, for the sophomore album Desire, Denial, and Paramania, led by a Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) remix of "Desolate District." The MANTIS EPs followed, collected as the limited Mantis Complete in 2022.

On Re:Mission Entertainment and eMERGENCY heARTS, SINE released LUXURIA in January 2024 along with its singles, produced by Claus Larsen of Leæther Strip at The Trip Farm in Denmark, with additional production by Chase Dobson in Denver. The six ominous tracks of sub-bass and industrial rhythm include "Dark Matters," produced with AwareNess, and "From Beyond" featuring Leæther Strip. It was expanded into the limited CD LUXURIA EX (RE062), adding a Curse Mackey remix of "Dark Matters," a Xiu Xiu remix of "Dolor" and instrumental versions of the full album. SINE also appeared on the Re:Mission label compilations.

Along the way Rougeheart has worked with Andee Blacksugar (Blondie, ex-KMFDM), Adrian Sherwood, Chris Connelly, Xiu Xiu, the late Mark Stewart (The Pop Group), Sean Beavan and her husband and longtime partner Curse Mackey.

SINE has since signed to Metropolis Records, debuting with "Trauma Bondage" in 2024 while opening for Clan of Xymox on the X-Odus Tour, and spending most of 2025 on the road with PIG, Nitzer Ebb and Clan of Xymox. The singles "Succumb to Me," "Blood + Wine" (her first fully self-produced track) and "Cruel" led into the Metropolis full-length La Mordre in 2026.
