Formed in October 2003, UK metallers SIZEN deal in hefty grooves, sledge hammer riffs and mammoth melodies. Distinctly different from the identikit rocksters that proliferate today, this UK quartet have drawn inspiration from the band's they've grown up loving - from Metallica to Soundgarden to Rage Against The Machine.
But this is no nostalgic trip - Sizen have simply put song writing at the very centre of their existence, and 'What Do You See' demonstrates just how serious they are about bringing rock music kicking and screaming into the new millennium.
Produced by Joe Gibb (Funeral For A Friend, Million Dead, Brigade etc) at Mighty Atom Studios , the quartet have already been garnering support from all corners (even Rick Wakeman highlighted them as 'Ones To Watch' on his Planet Rock radio show)!!!
The 'What Do You See' album is nine tracks of honed and incisive metal. From the nu-grunge sludge of 'Not The Same' to the head down groove of 'Asylum' it rockets through it's 50-minute run time with barely a pause for breath.
Outside the music the members of Sizen have some interesting back stories. Indeed, there's little doubt that in guitarist Dudley Ross Sizen have a true character. In addition to his six string duties the hulking lad is a Linebacker for Great Britain Lions American Football team, and captain of the East Kent Mavericks! He is also endorsed by Vigier Guitars and WKZ Amplification, no doubt in no small part due to his sterling work with Sizen!
Bass Player Dan Smith is also well known in the UK music community as he runs DS Guitars - a respected company that custom builds guitars and basses.
But this is all icing on the cake. What Sizen bring to the party is a love of song based, intense rock and metal.
And you can't say fairer than that!
