SUICIDAL TENDENCIES: Cyco Miko on Touring with Metallica, Australia Shows & New Music

Exactly two years since their last visit, Suicidal Tendencies return in late 2025 with a series of firsts, which is not something often associated with a band well into their fifth decade!

ST will be in Australia as special guests on the monstrous Metallica M72 tour along with Evanescence. However, not being people to sit on their hands, the Suicidal crew will be filling their ‘off’ days with a series potent headline shows in selected cities on the tour…

The Everblack Podcast caught up with Cyco Miko of Suicidal Tendencies to talk about their massive upcoming Australian tour with Metallica plus their own headline shows, his deep connection to Australia, and why the energy of ST still moves people after 40 years. Mike also opens up about his creative journey, new music projects with Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, and Cyco Miko, and shares stories from touring, wild reviews, and even appearing in Encino Man with Infectious Grooves.

Watch/listen to the interview here: 

The 2025 lineup of Suicidal Tendencies includes founding member, vocalist Mike Muir alongside guitarists Ben Weinman (The Dillinger Escape Plan) and Dean Pleasants, bassist Tye Trujillo (son of Metallica’s Robert Trujillo) as well as the band’s latest addition, drummer Jay Weinberg.

Support on all shows will be Big Noter, the brand-new project from Australian hip-hop icon Briggs.

Now trading hip-hop beats for guitar riffs, Big Noter is a sonic return to the heavy sounds he grew up on, tapping into his hardcore, punk and metal roots with a full live band in tow. Working with acclaimed engineer & producer Nick Didia (Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen), Big Noter is set to drop their debut album in 2025.
