SAN DIEGO November 18, 2005 -- Sik World Productions, a leading producer of attitude-based novelty clothing and accessories for men and women announced today the formation of Sik World Records. Since its founding in 1995, Sik World Productions has enjoyed a longtime presence in the heavy music community. Sik World Records first signing is San Diego-based band Divided By Zero. DBZ features members of award-winning 90s trailblazers Ghoulspoon. The band is a heavy blend of alternative metal, with touches of reggae and speed, akin to System of a Down, Faith No More and Incubus. Divided By Zero will be recording its debut CD The Black Sea in Los Angeles beginning November with producer Mikey Doling (Snot, Soulfly, Mower). A March release date is anticipated.
"Producing music is a natural progression for Sik World. We've always loved and supported the heavier styles of music and feel it's time to contribute. In the past we've called out many local circuit bands and recognized their potential before they went on to worldwide acclaim. Now it's time to put our money where our minds are. Divided by Zero write great songs and perform like pros. It's great to have an opportunity to work with a band of their caliber," states Jaysun Chall, Sik World's Founder and President.
Born from the ashes of San Diego's award-winning hard rock/metal band Ghoulspoon, Divided by Zero turn their back on current trends and stick to the fundamentals of strong songwriting. They have created an original sound that combines melodies and harmonies that ring in your ear, even after the ringing from their high-powered performance has ceased. Featuring a style that blends traditional rock and metal with bits of reggae, DBZ consistently prove they are not your average metal band. They are a group of five amazing musicians.
Sik World Productions, a division of CompuGlobal Hypermeganet Inc., is based in San Diego, California. Founded in 1995, the company's products are distributed around the world in more than 1000 retail outlets and to thousands of individuals via the Internet each year. Specializing in original and outrageous garments, Sik World has been featured in numerous music videos as well as publications such as Rolling Stone, Newsweek, Hit Parader, and Metal Hammer, with their products worn by high profile recording and performance artists such as Eminem, Slash of Guns and Roses and Velvet Revolver, Kerry King of Slayer, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith, Lil Kim and others.
