Their unrelenting and passionate quest into the realm of heavy music has led them to develop a diverse and unique sonic palette, drawing from all of the superior aspects of true underground metal. While the name SADGIQACEA (pronounced sad-juh-kay-sha) may sound and look unusual to most, its meaning represents the elements of the earth and the universe. It contains their guitar tuning (ADGCEA) as well as elements of astronomy, biology, and the human experience. In short, it stands for the powerful phenomenon that is our existence, and the connection we all share with the universe as a whole. Both musically and artistically, they are a melting pot of influence, drawing from a multitude of dark sub-genres to synthesize their own unique sound. They are fueled by the many ideologies of the pivotal underground musicians that preceded them.

Their songs are full of different sonic textures, achieved through lush effects pedal soundscapes, cacophonous vocals, devastating riffs, and bludgeoning drums. Their ability to recreate the tension and catharsis of the Multiverse specially for our trodden minds and sodden souls is a feat worthy of immense praise. BLACK DMT DUO - PHILADELPHIA
