With a sound as wicked as a rabid pit bull, these New York City hardcore legends unleash Death to Tyrants onto an unsuspecting public. With this record, SOIA tears asunder the established expectations of the modern music scene as they shred on their guitars and rip aggressive lyrics about personal strife and political ideologies.

Sick Of It All are the definition of hardcore and their savage and intense sound is one that has been often imitated, but never matched. On this volcanic record, these NYHC members are determined to prove that even after 20 years together they haven't lost their passion or ferocious sound. Death To Tyrants is as hard as ever. The track "Make a Mark," jams that point down your throat, with the Lou Koller's lyrical attack. Once the thrashing licks of Pete Koller (guitar) and Craig Setari (bass) add to the mix, what you're left with is an explosive cocktail sure to blow open the idea of what hardcore bands are capable of. Watch out for the fists when you enter the pit.
