SICKSENSE Drops New Single ‘Follow Me
New Album Cross Me Twice Out March 28th
On Tour This Summer w/THE UNION UNDERGROUND, SPINESHANK & ADEMA
The countdown has begun! Phoenix nu-metal powerhouse SICKSENSE’s eagerly awaited debut album, Cross Me Twice, drops March 28th on Earache Records, and today the band has revealed the record’s fiery final single, “Follow Me.”
Commenting on the new track, co-vocalist Killer V says:
“‘Follow Me’ is about two people being together at the wrong place at the wrong time in that point of their lives. It’s a story of people realizing and acknowledging that they just aren’t meant to be together. It doesn’t mean they’re bad people as individuals, they just aren’t right for each other.
We’re human beings. We’re all flawed and have all done or said things We aren’t proud of. We need to grow, learn from our mistakes, recognize when we’re wrong, learn to forgive and move on.
I love that this is the final track on our “Cross Me Twice” album. It doesn’t leave on a positive note, it doesn’t leave on a negative one. It leaves the future open with possibilities and we’re excited to see where we end up taking the band and our sound.“Stream “Follow Me”: https://earache.lnk.to/FollowMe

From the maleficent minds of dual vocalists Vicky “Killer V” Psarakis (ex-THE AGONIST) and Rob The Ripper (STUCK MOJO), comes a new wave of nu-metal. With the added arsenal of guitarist Agent Phil [Philip Lykostratis], bassist The Gothfather [Richard Regier] and drummer Smokin’ J [Joseph Polizzi], SICKSENSE have crafted their heaviest record yet, melting nu-metal elements with metalcore and electronic touches for a unique spin on the rejuvenated genre. Stream their previous singles “Wildfires,” “On Repeat,” “Masquerade Parade” and “In This Carousel.”
Commenting on the record, Killer V states:
“Our upcoming album, ‘Cross Me Twice’, takes the listener on an emotional rollercoaster of a journey. We evolved from our traditional nu metal sound, by incorporating more modern metal and electronic elements into this album. The heavy parts got heavier, the soft parts got softer and the catchy parts got catchier. ‘Cross Me Twice’ explores a wider dynamic range, which leaves the listener not knowing what to expect with each release. We were going through numerous personal issues amongst ourselves as a band while working on this record, which inevitably led to us parting ways with former members and bringing in new ones to complete it. These issues inspired the lyrical themes for each song. It wasn’t easy to go through and create, but we’re extremely proud of the end result.
I remember spending countless hours working on keys and the overall sound design of ‘Cross Me Twice’, on top of all the vocal arrangements I normally task myself with. Teaming up with our producer, Joey Doherty, was the final step and best decision we could have made to bring you guys what we believe will be one of the absolute best sounding albums of 2025.
There’s something for everyone to enjoy here and we hope it means as much to our listeners as it does to us. It’s truly special.“SICKSENSE will join THE UNION UNDERGROUND and SPINESHANK and fellow guests ADEMA on a US summer tour this summer. Tickets are on sale now at linktr.ee/sickXsense.

About SICKSENSE:
It’s rare that a debut album inspires such fervent anticipation, but the thrill surrounding a full-length from Sicksense is concrete. A band who have nurtured their community from seedlings to an army of “Deli-boos” (if you know, you know), Sicksense made instant waves in the metal scene upon the release of their two EPs ‘Kings Today’ and ‘Fools Tomorrow’.
These collections saw their music garner support from metal connoisseurs such as TankTheTech, feature in the ring with ex-NXT and NOAH pro-wrestler Stallion Rogers, and hit Spotify’s Alternative Metal and New Nü playlists alongside other trailblazers in the future of metal. These two small portholes into their vibrant world have turned heads in the industry and metal fandom alike, receiving comparisons to nü-metal titans like Slipknot, Evanescence and Limp Bizkit in the process.
Sicksense have now announced their debut album ‘Cross Me Twice’, news which will see anticipation on all sides finally relieved. 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.
