Later (in summer 2004), the experienced classical guitar player Mario joined the three-piece as the new solo guitarist, followed by (Autumn 2004) the fifth missing member Bertrand, taking charge of the beats. Thus acquiring more experience, the five-piece really started out with more solid compositions, first venturing onto small local stages. pAt the time, their music was falling in line with rather classic metal influences (New metal, hard core,…), but they soon realised that they needed experimentation to get closer to musical fulfilment. Mario, then beginning musicology studies, helped the band mastermind more mature compositions from a more theoretical basis, and a pervasive strong will to reach originality and emotion set in to assert Saikon within French metal scene.
The band remains young (a 20-year-old average) and challenging. They keep wading through the universe of distortion and ambience by taking the view of mixing brutal and flying parts. Indeed, after a four year struggle, Saikon have finally found their way and are now trying to prove it through a 10 day studio session (from 2006, August 26th) with Thomas Tibery, which gives birth to their first 4 tracks’ demo “Through The Haloâ€. They are now striving for some contacts to enable the band to go further and further, and stand up and represent “Through The Halo†on stage.
