Cardinal Sin was a melodic black and melodic death metal group originating from Sweden, established in 1995 by former Dissection guitarist John Zwetsloot. The band issued a four-song EP titled Spiteful Intents in 1996, which showcased Zwetsloot's distinctive classical influences. Following the EP's release, the group dissolved but later regrouped in 2003 with some changes to the lineup; however, no further recordings have been produced beyond their initial EP.

According to Robert Müller, a journalist for Metal Hammer, the dual guitar work of John Zwetsloot and Devo Andersson contributed to the band's technical proficiency, although the EP's musical style was described as familiar and somewhat conventional.
