SICKSENSE Return With Defiant New Single “Newsflash” + Official Music Video

SICKSENSE are back with “Newsflash,” a hard-hitting new single and music video that marks the next chapter for the band while signaling even more music to come later this year. Blending the band’s signature intensity with a fresh sonic direction, “Newsflash” is both a fearless statement of identity and a bold evolution of the SICKSENSE sound.

Driven by infectious hooks, crushing grooves, and the band’s unmistakable energy, “Newsflash” taps into the frustration of living in a world obsessed with conformity and judgment while turning that tension into an empowering rally cry.

“Newsflash is about being unapologetically you,” says vocalist Vicky Psarakis. “We live in a world where people feel a constant pressure to fit into societal standards that are always evolving, leaving us confused and afraid to show our real self. ‘Newsflash of the week, everyone’s a freak’ is the hook in the chorus that empowers you to be different, weird, quirky. Embrace it, own it. Life is short, we shouldn’t spend it always worrying about what others think.”

Vocalist Robby J. Fonts adds: “People love finding excuses to tear others down. Instead of building their own lives, they live to make everyone else around them as miserable as they are. Newsflash is about pointing out that irony and telling everyone: ‘You know what? Stay miserable. I’m going to live my life how I choose without worrying about what you think of me’.”

He continues: “It’s a fun anthem that’s a throwback to SICKSENSE’s original ‘in-your-face’ attitude while sonically pushing the band forward from where we left off with our ‘Cross Me Twice’ album.”

Accompanied by a visually explosive new music video, “Newsflash” captures the raw personality and fearless spirit that have made SICKSENSE one of the most exciting emerging acts in modern heavy music. The single also serves as a harbinger of more material on the horizon.

With “Newsflash,” SICKSENSE are making one thing clear: individuality is power, and they’re louder, bolder, and more fearless than ever.

At their core, SICKSENSE represent resilience, individuality, and fearless self-expression. Whether through brutally honest lyrics, high-energy live performances, or their hands-on approach to every aspect of the band’s creative vision, SICKSENSE continue to prove that heavy music has no boundaries when authenticity leads the way.
