SiM

SiM (Silence iz Mine) conquered their native country of Japan with a volatile mix of nü-metal and postmodern hard rock injected with hardcore attitude. The self-described "Reggae PUNX from Japan" broke into the US rock scene with hard-charging singles, including the #1 smash "The Rumbling." With the release of PLAYDEAD via UNFD, SiM set their sights on the world. The band's music conjures the melodic bombast and rhythmic punch of early 2000s heavy hitters like Linkin Park, and Deftones, with precision blasts of chunky metalcore and the renegade spirit of classic reggae and punk. They've created six full-length studio albums, three mini-albums, and an EP since their formation in 2004. SiM wrote 2022's "The Rumbling" for the massive anime Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2 and "The Rumbling" shot to No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Hard Rock Songs. It quickly racked up over 110 million streams on Spotify, and the official music video crossed 47 million views on YouTube. They sold out the world-famous Nippon Budokan in 2015 and the 17,000-capacity YokohamaArena in 2016. The same year, they made their US live debut at Knotfest Meets Ozzfest. PLAYDEAD, SiM's dynamic sixth studio album pushes boundaries with a genre-blend of fast-paced rock and dance-punk anthems, featuring the hard-hitting "RED," the theme song for the Netflix anime Kengan Ashura and a staggeringly beautiful orchestral version of "The Rumbling".
