Takida releases new single “Sickening”

Author Hernan Osuna - 9.1.2024

Top-notch Swedish rockers Takida are ringing in the New Year with their brand-new single, entitled “Sickening”. The song comes off of their massive ninth studio album and Napalm Records debut, “The Agony Flame”, set for release on February 9, 2024.

“Sickening” stands out musically and marks one of the most intense, heavier-leaning tracks on “The Agony Flame”, a record rich with dark, melancholic lyrics and heavy tunes all at once.

This new single arrives shortly after Takida’s recent announcement of their 2024 “Smoke & Mirrors Tour”, including an extended run through several major cities in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Supported by the English band Those Damn Crows, the tour kicks off in Offenbach, Germany on April 2.

Takida on “The Agony Flame”: “The Agony Flame is our “now or never”-album and you’re free to interpret that however you want. Hope you’ll like it”.
