SISKA are a Heavy Metal / Hard Rock band formed in October 2015, with a career built on constant international live activity and high-profile collaborations. The project was founded by guitarist Mattia Sisca, a musician with solid international experience gained by sharing the stage with major figures of the global rock and metal scene, including Blaze Bayley, Jennifer Batten, Dennis Stratton and Michael Angelo Batio, performing across Europe and South America both as a support act and as a headliner. The band’s debut was immediately distinctive: the music video “Sally” was filmed inside the Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno in Genoa, becoming the first rock production ever shot in a UNESCO World Heritage Site and clearly defining the band’s visual identity from the very beginning. In 2016, SISKA embarked on a Brazilian tour with Tim Ripper Owens, receiving strong audience feedback and performing in venues that have hosted artists and bands such as Europe, Megadeth, Vince Neil, Skid Row, members of Guns N' Roses, members of Kiss, Epica, Firehouse, Richie Kotzen, Kip Winger, Danger Danger, Angra, Steve Morse and Michael Angelo Batio. In 2018, the album “Romantic Dark & Violent” was released, followed by the singles “Nothing Left to Say” and “Waiting Now”. That same year, SISKA were selected to open the European tour of Skid Row (United World Rebellion Tour). The album, released via Big Tuna Records / Sony Music, has been performed on major European and international stages since 2018. With this release, the band played in front of thousands of people at the Metalhead Meeting at the Arenele Romane in Bucharest, sharing the stage with Children of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Epica and Soulfly. In 2019, SISKA were chosen as the only main support for Whitesnake on the Romanian date of the Flesh and Blood World Tour, performing at the Arenele Romane in Bucharest. In the same year, they took part in the Metaldays Festival in Tolmin (Slovenia) alongside Dream Theater, Tarja, Dimmu Borgir, Philip H. Anselmo and Demons & Wizards, and also performed as main support on the European tour of Geoff Tate. In 2022, SISKA opened the European tour of Pretty Boy Floyd and performed as main support for Adam Bomb. On June 25th, 2023, in Cartagena (Spain), SISKA opened for KISS, marking one of the most significant live achievements of their career. In December 2023, the band performed as main support for Chris Holmes (W.A.S.P.) and Paul Di'Anno during their Italian tour. Completing SISKA’s catalogue is the album “Broken Dreams”, released on January 16th, 2026, with worldwide distribution. The album features Tim Ripper Owens as a special guest on vocals — current vocalist of KK’s Priest and former lead singer of Judas Priest — and was mixed and mastered by legendary producer Max Norman (Ozzy Osbourne, Megadeth). Three singles were released from the album: “Lonely Tomb”, “Broken Dreams” and “Gangster (The Roaring Twenties)”.
