Matthias Lasch (born Oct 16th, 1963 in Stuttgart, Germany), also known by his stage name Mat Sinner, is a bassist, vocalist, and record producer from Stuttgart, Germany.

Sinner has been involved in numerous bands and projects throughout his musical career. His main bands have been Sinner since 1982 and Primal Fear since 1997; he formed the latter band with former Gamma Ray singer Ralf Scheepers. He also formed the band Voodoo Circle with guitarist Alex Beyrodt, in 2008.

Sinner has also been working as a record producer for Kiske/Somerville, Bobby Kimball/Jimi Jamison (former vocalists of bands Toto and Survivor), and the first Scheepers solo album. Sinner is also the musical director of the successful Rock Meets Classic tour in Europe, where legendary rock singers team up with the Bohemian Symphony Orchestra Prague and the Mat Sinner Band every year with a setlist of classic rock songs.

In 2013 Sinner also joined the band Silent Force.

In 2014, it was announced that a new project called Level 10, featuring Sinner with Symphony X vocalist Russell Allen and other members of Primal Fear, would be unleashed in January 2015.
