Die meisten werden Vicky Psarakis als Frontgrowlerin von THE AGONIST oder aus ihren zahlreichen Soloaktivitäten kennen. SICKSENSE entstanden aus ihrer Zusammenarbeit mit Robby J. Fonts von Stuck Mojo und zeigt eine moderne Groove Metal Seite, die auch mit Rap-Elementen und melodischen Gesangslinien angereichert wird. Am 22. April wird SICKSENSE eine erste gemeinsame 5-Track EP unter dem gleichen Titel, also “Kings Today“ herausbringen.
Vicky schreibt über ‘Kings Today’:
”In 2019, we wrote this song. We wrote this song about the unnecessary arguments and conflicts over trivial matters that end up ruining relationships and leaving us more divided than ever.
After what has happened since then and with current events, this hits me even harder.
All my life, I’ve been an advocate for spreading positivity. For putting our humanity first and realizing that we have much more in common than we think. That we are stronger together.
While I wish we could be releasing this under better circumstances, I hope „Kings Today“ can help bring us all a little bit closer. Music is a means to inspire, to navigate us through dark times and bring people hope.

Lyrics:
Everybody knows everything
About everything
No discussions
Just arguments
We all want to fight
We just want to fight
Yeah, that’s right
They want diversity
Except in opinions
Manipulate the masses
Instigate their feelings
Go figure their dealings
Behind the scenes
Nefarious schemes
Nothing is how it seems
They control
How you think
How you act
What you say
How you feel
Bow down and kneel
Yo, what’s the deal?
Oh, tell me how
You’re keeping it real?
We can feel (We can feel!)
We will rise from the ruin
We can feel (We can feel!)
We will be Kings today
Make it us versus them
You against I
An eye for an eye
Never will satisfy
A never ending thirst
But tell me what’s worse?
Disingenuous gifts
Or a rational curse?
Trivial differences
Break our ties
Lining up their pockets
Profiting off lies
Hate’s the norm
Instead of coming together
We are enemies, sworn
We can feel (We can feel!)
We will rise from the ruin
We can feel (We can feel!)
We will be Kings today
Stay in your lane now, son
We want you open-minded
But not open-minded enough
For you to think differently
From the rest of us
Got me working 9-5
Everyday, same routine
Stuck in traffic on the drive
Day in, day out
No way out
Giving us security?
What an obscurity
Calling it freedom
But having no choice
We can feel
We will rise from the ruins
We can feel
We will be Kings today
We can feel
We can feel
We can feel
We can feel today
