  • Bio

    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. Surprisingly the sound became thicker and more focused..... Providing a ruthless stage show, and a complete assault on all senses, Sikend started to gain a following as well as a reputation. As 2006 ended Sikend had established themselves in the local metal scene as a force to be reckoned with. As 2007 rolled on, they had decided to take things a step further and become not only a force, but an out right act of natural destruction. They recruited friend Tony Sonic. An accomplished musician, Sikend brought Tony in to add a layer to the already massive attack the music held. Using unique and textured samples and soundscapes, Tony brought a ambient, yet disturbing atmosphere to Sikend's edge..... 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. Since September of 2006, Sikend has had a steady schedule of shows being one of the most highly anticipated bands in the Seattle area. Gaining a reputation for music heavier than their rivals on the scene, and a live show with such high energy that demands respect without compromising musical integrity. Sikend has started their conquest of world domination. Other bands should run and hide..... Much time has passed and the band now has two new members, and is back and ready for action. ....

BIOGRAPHY:

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.

Surprisingly the sound became thicker and more focused.

Providing a ruthless stage show, and a complete assault on all senses, Sikend started to gain a following as well as a reputation. As 2006 ended Sikend had established themselves in the local metal scene as a force to be reckoned with. As 2007 rolled on, they had decided to take things a step further and become not only a force, but an out right act of natural destruction. They recruited friend and local legend Tony Sonic. A staple of the Seattle music scene and a accomplished musician, Sikend brought Tony in to add a layer to the already massive attack the music held. Using unique and textured samples and soundscapes, Tony brought a ambient, yet disturbing atmosphere to Sikend's edge.

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. Since September of 2006, Sikend has had a steady schedule of shows being one of the most highly anticipated bands in the Seattle area. Gaining a reputation for music heavier than their rivals on the scene, and a live show with such high energy that demands respect without compromising musical integrity. Sikend has started their conquest of world domination. Other bands should run and hide.

2009 was a turbulent year with numerous member changes but emerging from the ashes in November, Sikend is a stronger and more focused unit. The current lineup includes Mitchell Titterness, J Bryce Stockton, Gary Farrington II, Tony Sonic and Chris is Dead. The band is now it's own LLC and is currently planning continued world domination (or implementing said plan) as you read this.

     Sikend has gained a reputation for having not only brutally heavy music, but a stage show that is incomparable. Reminiscent of the days of Pantera and Sepultura, Sikend brings such a high energy performance that they challenge anyone to not jump in the pit. It is simply something that must be experienced. You've all been warned. Now prepare to be… Sikend.
