Sickening Horror Biography
The band was cast on January 2002 by George Antipatis (guitars,vocals), Ilias Daras (bass) and George Kollias (drums). With influences ranging from Death Metal bands like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Death, Atheist to experimental acts like Dodheimsgard, The Project Hate MCMXCIX and sounds from jazz music, Sickening Horror exist to fully express themselves via dark, insane but also diverse soundscapes in a way to dig deep and explore the strongest emotions. The lyrics have to do with quite simple – often personal – subjects, regarded from a completely strange and surrealistic aspect.
The first strike came with the demo 'Promo 2003' which was recorded in the Fall of 2003 and received great reviews worldwide for its innovative and precise sound. At the time the band had George Bokos on the second guitar, who left after a while because he couldn't catch up with the band's schedule. The first album 'When Landscapes Bled Backwards' was recorded in the Summer of 2005 in Athens and mixed by Neil Kernon. On November 2006 the band signed with the Dutch label Neurotic Records and finally 'When Landscapes Bled Backwards' was released on June 2007.
On February 2007 Sickening Horror parted ways with George Kollias, who was replaced on October by Yannis Theodorakis. Right now, the band finishes the material for the sophomore album and is ready to spread the sickness on the road.
