SiM Debuts First New Music Of 2026 ‘FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet)’
by Brendan M. Allen
Japanese band SiM (Silence iz Mine) has shared their first release of 2026. The group is known for their unique blend of hard-hitting metal, punk, and reggae/ska. Their new single FiVE TiMES DEAD (by my wallet) is out now via UNFD.
The band’s music conjures the melodic bombast and rhythmic punch of early 2000s heavy hitters like Korn, Linkin Park, and Deftones, with precision blasts of chunky metalcore and the renegade spirit of classic reggae, two-tone ska, and punk that’s supercharged generations of subculture. They’ve created six full-length studio albums, three mini-albums, and an EP since their formation in 2004, in addition to performing at festivals around the world including Rock AM Ring, Rock IM Park, Download Festival, Graspop, Louder Than Life, and Welcome To Rockville.
Fans can look forward to hearing the new single live at SiM’s annual Dead Pop Festival, taking place April 4-5 in Japan. Featuring performances from SiM, BABYMETAL, coldrain, MAXIMUM THE HORMON, Crystal Lake, Ankor, THORNHILL, and more, this year’s sold out event will draw an audience of 15,000 people each day.
