Nu-Metal newcomers Sicksense announce debut EP and release title track single / video

Hard-hitting and melodic; pissed off and groovy; energetic and catchy: Sicksense are here to make you bounce and sing your heart out with their exciting and refreshing brand of groove metal. The band – Killer V (Vicky Psarakis of The Agonist) and Rob The Ripper (Robby J. Fonts of Stuck Mojo), with guitarist Breakdown Bran (Bran Panic), drummer The Trve Cody Taylor (Cody Taylor) and bassist Spot-On Sam/SOS (Samuel Bedard) – have announced the release of their debut EP Kings Today on 22nd April and have unveiled a brilliantly entertaining video for the title-track.

Following the release of debut video  ‘Make Believe‘ new single / video ‘Kings Today’ serves as a fun and hard-hitting introduction to the band and is an exciting taste of what can be expected from the EP. Directed by Chris Kells, who is also the bassist from The Agonist, the concept of a visual food fight was one he’d been wanting to create for some time, and ‘Kings Today’ turned out to be the perfect fit. 

On the single Killer V comments: “The song is about moving forward together by having a willingness to understand others and that it’s okay to disagree and challenge ideas. At the end of the day, I believe we’re all more alike as people than we are different. The music is dark and moody and sets a serious tone, which creates a beautiful visual contrast with the food flying everywhere and us yelling at each other. Plus, we got a cool bear sitting at the dinner table with us.”

From the opening riffs of ‘Kings Today’ to the closing growls of “Heart Of Stone,” Sicksense are dedicated to their mission of making fans bounce and sing their hearts out through thought-provoking lyrics, rage-fuelled raps and powerful melodies, supported with low-tuned stomping nu-metal riffs and grooves.

Having both performed a range of styles in numerous heavy bands, Killer V and Rob The Ripper (who are married) wanted to return to a genre that’s close to their hearts, but also make music that is specifically written for two vocalists. Written with dual vocal interplay from a male / female perspective, their performance reflects a personal and fun side of them as people, but also tackles social and societal issues in the world today. Sicksense were born out of the band’s desire to share their upbeat and fun message with the world. 

Kings Today was recorded, mixed & mastered by Christian Donaldson.  The artwork for the EP was created by Aleksandra Panic.
