Artist Biography For Sikend

Sikend Started In Late 2003 With The Founding Member Mitchell Titterness And His Friend Tom. The Sound Was A Fresh Departure From The Current Metal Scene. Hinting With Traces Of Early Nu-Metal While Keeping The Grinding Heavy Influences Of Older Metal. Sikend Gained A Small Following In The Seattle Metal Scene Due To Show Success. With The Two Like Minded Guitarists Wanting To Carve A Name In The Metal World For Themselves The Band Released A Demo Entitled "The Anger Inside" In 2004. During The Course Of 2004 The Band Would See Multiple Line-Up Changes. Eventually The Band Would See The Departure Of All Members But The Founding Guitarists By The End Of 2005. Not Seeing This As A Setback But Rather An Opportunity. Mitchell And Tom Decided To Use This As A Starting Point To Create The Sound That Would Cement The Band In The Metal World And Stake It's Own Claim In Music. In Late 2005 The Band Called On Longtime Friend And Drummer J Bryce Stockton Formerly Of Sevenpercent And Dumt. Bringing Over 25 Years Of Experience To The Table As Well As An Extensive Knowledge In Music. The Music Began To Change And Become More Abrasive And "in Your Face". Utilizing Pounding Double Bass With Mathematically Charged Rhythms. Bryce Took Sikend's Sound To A New Height And A New Heaviness. Tom And Mitch Knew They Had Found Their Drummer. Still Needing A Bassist And A Vocalist Sikend Continued To Audition Candidates For Both Roles. In Early 2006 They Found A New Member From A Response On The Internet. They Auditioned Gary Farrington II. Hailing From Nashville Tennessee Gary Brought A Well Needed Diversity To The Music. With Influences In Death Metal And Thrash Gary Pushed The Guitars To More Extensive Chugs And Grooves To Match Bryce's Impressive Footwork While Adding Slightly Jazz And Funk Influenced Bass Lines.

With The Line-Up Rounded Out By Their New Arrivals Sikend Began To Focus On Writing New Material. With Songs That Capture A Crowd While Maintaining A Level Of Skill To The Playing Sikend Had Found Their Staple. After Their First Return Show A Rumor Began To Slowly Spread Amongst The Old Fans And Other Bands That Sikend Was Back And Better Than Ever. They Released "The First Plague" An 8 Song Demo In 2008.
