Sick. Returns After 7-Year Hiatus With New Lineup
After seven years of silence, the Visual Kei band **Sick.** (stylized as "Sick. (Screaming inside can kill.)") has officially announced their return to the scene with a refreshed lineup ready to make some noise.
For those unfamiliar with the group, Sick. made waves in the Japanese underground rock circuit with their intense aesthetic and visceral sound—the kind of band that lives up to their provocative name. Their hiatus left a gap for fans who'd been following their journey, but now there's reason to celebrate.
The reunited band features an interesting mix of familiar faces and fresh talent. Vocalist **Shiki** (詩季) brings experience from his time in RazeL, SoniqRush., and THE UNDERTAKER., lending vocal intensity that defines the project. Guitarist **Fuki** (風輝) joins from MEKAKUSI, while guitarist **Tsukasa** (吏) comes from the active Visual Kei outfit Veinrot. The rhythm section is bolstered by bassist **Avel** (ex-CLACK inc., also of Veinrot) and drummer **Takeshi** (豪), rounding out a lineup where multiple members share history with Veinrot—a connection that suggests a cohesive creative vision moving forward.
What makes this comeback particularly exciting is the chemistry evident in this lineup. Rather than a simple nostalgia play, Sick. appears positioned to evolve while maintaining the theatrical edge and raw energy that defined their initial run. The presence of active Veinrot members suggests they're drawing on contemporary underground VK momentum, which bodes well for their sound.
The band has already begun reconnecting with fans through their Twitter (@Sick_JP), so follow along for announcements about live dates, new material, and reunion details. For Western fans of darker, more aggressive Visual Kei aesthetics, this is definitely a comeback worth monitoring.
**Don't sleep on this one—keep an eye on their socials for upcoming live announcements and new music.**
