SICKTRUST
"SELF TITLED"
Self Released
I was very happy to find this release in my hands. It comes from two old friends of mine
back in the Philadelphia music scene. The band features two members, John & Mike from
CRYPTIC WARNING that my old band FAMILY OF FREAKS used to play shows
with a lot. These guys have started a new band in 2010 called SICKTRUST and this is
their self titled debut. The band has a really killer sound combining elements of Thrash /
Doom & Southern Metal together. They at times lean more towards one style, but for the
most part they keep a balance of the styles. The slow drag and dirty groove they have is
where a lot of the Doom & Southern Metal come into play. In the faster more aggressive
parts, especially in the guitars, is where a lot of the Thrash Metal can be heard. The vocals
are done in a gritty mid ranged Southern Metal style. If you were to mix together the best
parts of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, CROWBAR, DOWN, KINGDOM OF
SORROW, CLUTCH, TESTAMENT, KYUSS & MASTADON together you'd have a
great idea of what this killer band sounds like. I wish I would have gotten to see them when
I was back in Philly before I moved out to Colorado. I'm sure they put on an amazing live
show. Support this band, they are one of Philadelphia's best Metal bands!!!
