Interview with Sykosis!

Facebook

Genre(s): Groove/Experimental/Hardcore

Location: Ashtabula, OH

PSAB: Why did you choose the name "Sykosis" for your band?

SYK: The reason we chose the name Sykosis is because just about every one of us have been in the nut house at some point in our life and it just seemed fitting, we saw the name on CSI television show and found out what it meant and it clicked with us that it was the right name for us and what we we're going for as a band.. we're crazy.. have you seen us live?? 

PSAB: How was the feedback when you released The Act of Vengeance? Are you still receiving feedback now?

SYK: The feedback has been phenomenal .. the album has been very well received from fans and critics alike, we have the best fans in the world and we have to thank all of them for the support all the way to California to Texas to Arkansas etc. !! We have received great reviews, some bands say they are putting out their heaviest record.. but we actually did .. we went as heavy as we possibly could on "The Act Of Vengeance" .. the album is still spreading and going to places we have never thought possible!!

PSAB: You're currently signed to Ferocious Records. How has the experience been being signed to them?

SYK: It has been great to say the least .. We would have never had these opportunities we have now if not getting signed to Ferocious Records.. With our album being packages and wrapped and distributed and recording at the amazing studio we got to record it at .. a big thank you to Dylann at Ferocious for all he has done for us!!! 

PSAB: What is the local metal scene like in Ashtabula?

SYK: Its booming and always has been.. Ashtabula County has always had a great metal scene full of pissed of motherfuckers.. with past metal bands such as : Profound Anger - Acid Porno - Mosquioto Bitten Bastards - Eclipse - Konipshun Phit - Falling Astray - Devolution - Deviate - P.R.S. - All Dead and now theres bands in the Ashtabula Metal Scene like us SYKOSIS and Chaos In The Sky - Cherry Poppins etc. its a pretty cool fucking scene to be apart of and its unique .. we want to give a huge shout out to P.J. at The Cove in Geneva and to his staff as well because its pretty much the only place in Ashtabula where we can play metal and get away with it! 

PSAB: What bands did you listen to growing up, and do those bands play an influence on your music?

SYK: There's 7 band members in our band and we all love metal and other genres too .. there are a lot of bands that have influenced us all throughout the years to make the music we all have come to create in Sykosis today! 

PSAB: Do you have any shout outs to give to the readers?

SYK: We would like to thank everyone who supports us in anyway from coast to coast and overseas .. keep spreading the word because its working!! To all of our friends in Arkansas for the support .. you've made it our 2nd home!! Also we'd like to thank Dylann at Ferocious Records for always supporting us!! Last but not least a huge thank you to all of our girlfriends and close friends who have always supported us in any way they could!!!
