Release Date: February 14, 2025

It's rare that a debut album inspires such fervent anticipation, but the thrill surrounding a full-length from Sicksense is concrete. Sicksense have now announced their debut album 'Cross Me Twice'. With 'Cross Me Twice', the band take their nü-metal influences and Frankenstein them into a hydra monster that sees the heads of metalcore, progressive metal and power metal combine into a modern experiment gone very right. The album is all a nü-metal fan could hope for while bringing new color to the genre. 

It's this versatility that sets Sicksense apart in the nü-gen surge. The adventurous 'Cross Me Twice' is as fantastically otherworldly with luminous keys and glacial melodies as it is gritty with nü-metal grooves and stomach-lurching djent. Conjurers of jeweled light and chroma, commanders of shadow and moonbeams, Sicksense create such a thickly immersive atmosphere that it feels as though you can see the album just as much as you can hear it.

The enrapturing instrumental talent heard on the album is also an exquisite match to the dual vocals between the couple, which only work to further the multitude of timbre contained within 'Cross Me Twice'. Both vocalists bring infectious personality to their rapping and unite in primal metal screams, with Vicky also reaching jaw-dropping heights and harmonies with her melodic vocals (which could work to summon angels and hellhounds alike).

Themes such as emotional manipulation and villainous scapegoating run like hot blood throughout the album. Lyrically, 'Cross Me Twice' reflects the fortitude of a band taking the reins of their own fate, exuding sheer confidence as they work against those who aim to take authority of how they lead their lives. Each track is a catharsis of poison that sheds an armor of scarred skin.
