History

Sicksense released the EP Kings Today in 2022,[1] and Fools Tomorrow in 2023.[2] They signed to Earache Records in July 2024, at which time Lykostratis and Regier also joined the band.[3]

Sicksense’s debut album Cross Me Twice was released on March 28, 2025, featuring singles including “Wildfires”,[4] “Masquerade Parade”[5] and “In This Carousel”.[6] The album was produced by Joey Doherty and recorded primarily in the band’s home studio in Phoenix. It was originally supposed to come out on February 14 but was pushed back. Upon release, it landed at Number Ten in the UK’s Official Rock and Metal Albums Chart and Number 72 in the Official Albums Chart.[7]

In July 2025, they went on a tour in support of Spineshank and The Union Underground.[8] In September 2025, the band went on tour in support of Calva Louise.[9] In the spring of 2026, the band announced they parted ways with Earache Records, as well as a new lineup, with the additions of Jackson Snowden on guitar and Sam Neumann on drums.
