WHAT'S HAPPENING:
LYKIN BIOGRAPHY
In early 2006 LYKIN was born of a former cover band from Battle Creek, Michigan that had disassembled. With a couple of the cover band members left, the idea of doing their own thing instead was tossed around. The name LYKIN was chosen as the official name for the band because of what it symbolized. LYKIN’s members, putting their own spin on the concept behind the mythological werewolf, realized that they could successfully combine different musical styles and shift it into something greater and more powerful. It was discovered then that this five member group had a flair for taking a multi-level and original approach to the music writing process which ultimately gave them an edge in the local music scene.
LYKIN cleverly interweaves a mixture of heavy metal, punk rock, hip hop, and gothic styles of music. When the vocals were put into the mix, you got powerful screams and growls combined with straight up hardcore rap. The lyrical lines convey explicit and sometimes controversial statements that suggests LYKIN’s position on many political and social issues in today’s world.
LYKIN is known for giving high energy performances and speaking political beliefs while celebrating good times in life and creating a fun atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. They definitely add an ingredient unlike any other band in the area.
LYKIN has opened for such national acts as (HED)PE, KINGSPADE, OTEP, EYES SET TO KILL, ANEW REVOLUTION, NONPOINT, AS SUMMER DIES, and TAPROOT.
Over the course of their career, LYKIN has performed in numerous venues and night clubs throughout Michigan and have had the privilege of sharing the stage with bands such as Know Lyfe, Ill Hollow Chamber, Ritual Suicide, Beyond All Reckoning, Seeing Eye God, Vintage, Release the Crimson, Malakai, Lung Worm, Vulkmar (Australia), A Blaze of Glory, Stilframe, King of the Forest, .Com E, Arms of Automation, Anacorts Burns, Dues Ex Machina, Left of Zero, Mr Denton on Doomsday, Massaugah, Hero of None, Remnants, Radial Atrophy, Mainbrace, Eye Remain, Reef Theory, Slapp Maggy, Dez Lotuss, Burn The Sky, Trial By Fire, Idle Threat, Ground Effect, Colasi’ Omen, McArthur City Saints, Pagen, Swamp Shark, Devience In The Mirror, Battle Cross, Foreground, Forgotten Forgiveness, Krank Nine, Ebonhand, Brutal, Kopis Red, Sons of the Revolution, Origin of Fate, Seneca, Bonk, Shutter, 3 Feet To Fall, Falling Unbroken, Robin Thrasher, 10 Guage Rage, and Bad Monkey.
