Today marks the release of Love And Other Lies, the latest EP from Danish metallic hardcore group, LIFESICK. In celebration of its official unveiling, the band has dropped a video for “Reverse Birth,” featuring a guest vocal appearance by Nails‘ Todd Jones.
Elaborates vocalist/lyricist Simon Shoshan (aka Simon Sorrow), “This is from personal experience. I have a lot of ADHD and from time to time, I deal with stress, depression, and anxiety. I went to a psychiatrist to get help and the first ‘doctor’ I spoke with gave me the feeling that I just wasn’t trying enough and that I just felt too bad for myself. So that gave me the best mindset to write these lyrics and I think they speak for themselves.”

Watch the band’s previously released videos for “Rude Awakening” HERE and “Every Unpleasant Emotion” HERE.
Formed in Fredericia, Denmark in 2015, LIFESICK creates brutal and brutally honest songs with lyrics inspired by the turbulent nature of life. Musically influenced by Swedish death metal, LIFESICK‘s authentic and explosive mixture of crushing tones and modern breakdowns create an uncompromising sound and vision.
Love And Other Lies serves as the followup to the band’s critically acclaimed, 2022-issued Misanthropy LP, a record the press praised as an “an absolute barnburner, practically overflowing with buzzsaw riffs, blistering blast beats, bludgeoning breakdowns and brutish, barking vocals” (No Clean Singing). The three new tracks – “Every Unpleasant Emotion,” “Rude Awakening” (feat. Mark Whelan of Fuming Mouthand), “Reverse Birth” (feat. Todd Jones of Nails) – were produced by Jacob Bredahl at Dead Rat Studio in Aarhus, mixed by Jacob Bredahl, mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, and seamlessly further Misanthropy‘s intensity.
