Emerging out of the Phoenix Music scene has come a band that
will thrust the modern boundaries of music into extreme new territory. With
it’s soul crushing melody’s and “heart on it’s sleeve” emotion, (Sic)Monic is a
band that’s musical concepts and idea’s will build up and tear down the
listener with every song and extreme live performance.
The sound that has emerged from Phoenix, Arizona that is
Sicminic has surpassed the traditional Metal/Hard Rock sound and forged a new
blend of emotion, human experience, and trials and tribulations that make up
everyday life.
Using many influences ranging from jazz fusion to death
metal to create a chaotic yet catchy backdrop, (Sic)Monic's lyrics lay down a
wide variety of topics that lead the listener down a path that spirals out of
control and ultimately leads the participant into a new understanding of music.
That combination of lyrical insanity, catchy grooves, and maniacal
musicianship, was captured on their 2006 self-released debut album "Look
to the Skies".
This album catch the interest of italian label Aural Music
Record, and the result is the groundbreaking new album titled “Somnambulist” :
(Sic)monic once again jumps into the chaos, and finds comfort in textural and
sonic areas most musicians would crumble in. Literally pieces of music within
pieces of music, Somnambulist offers a kaleidoscopic window into a world of
music torn open for all to see with an artistic flair that separates (Sic)monic
from every other "hardcore" band out there.
This time tearing off into some deep waters, this record
could easily have been categorized as avant-garde jazz in the vein of some of
John Zorn’s work, as metal or hardcore... This record is Heavy, Heady,
Heavenly, and sometimes plain un-categorical.
Incredible. Sicmonic has played with many national and
international acts including but not limited to Slipknot, Disturbed, Soulfly,
Dragonforce, Five Finger Death Punch and many more. Lead guitarist Ray Goodwin
has a full endorsement by Jackson guitars. Look for Sicmonic in 2015 and beyond
as they release their most exhilarating and heart crushing full length album
"Darcauditure" to date.
