Sicksense to Raise Hell with 'Funerals' EP Tour in North America

Prepare yourselves, metalheads! Sicksense, the nu-metalcore quintet on the rise, is set to unleash their new EP, Funerals, on September 25, 2026, and they’re taking their sound to the blood-soaked stages of North America starting this November. With eight headline shows lined up across the Midwest and Eastern Canada, the band will also share the stage with metal legends Mushroomhead and Fear Factory, alongside other heavyweights like Heal The Hurt, Primer 55, 40 Below Summer, and Eyes Set To Kill.

The tour kicks off on November 5 in Davenport, IA, at the Redstone Room and stretches across multiple cities, culminating in a riotous finale on December 19 in Phoenix, AZ, at Crescent Ballroom. Each stop promises a unique blend of raw energy and emotional depth, as Sicksense delivers their signature sound that’s been honed through relentless dedication and a fierce passion for their craft.

Central to this tour is their latest single, A Moment Of Violence, a track that dives deep into the abyss of mortality and the struggle with faith. The band describes the song as a personal battle with the divine, raising the poignant question: if a higher power truly loves us, why must we endure such suffering and loss? Vicky Psarakis's haunting vocals paired with somber piano notes create a stark contrast to the thunderous breakdowns, encapsulating the emotional turmoil that the band seeks to convey.

As the last track on Funerals, A Moment Of Violence encapsulates the angst and sorrow permeating the EP. It begins as a reflective ballad but crescendos into a full-band breakdown, a sonic representation of the chaos that often accompanies life’s most profound moments. This powerful combination of dynamic vocal styles and intricate instrumentation, including the violin played by bassist Rich, showcases Sicksense's commitment to evolving their sound while remaining true to their metalcore roots.

With each release, Sicksense is carving out a niche for themselves in the heavy music scene, merging compelling narratives with an immersive sonic experience that resonates with fans old and new. Stay tuned as they prepare to set the stage ablaze this November!
