Established in 2003 as a studio project between Founding member Scott Rose and Producer Ben Schigel, Rikets started out as simply recording idea's and eventually manifested into a full blown project that had spawned it's first record deal before even playing a live show.

The Project was signed by Thomas Haezart media mogul and president of (corporate punishment records and also the person responsible for signing bands such as Chimaira, Switched, Nonpoint to name a few) to corporate punishment records.

The Band furiously released two separate versions of the critically acclaimed album "Anything for the devil" (produced by Scott Rose and Ben Schigel, Mixed by Logan Mader) thru corporate punishment/navarre records and hit the tour trail immediately coast to coast seeing festival and tour dates with bands such as , Korn, Seether, Breaking Benjamin , Nothingface, Flyleaf", to name a few....The band's first single "Useless" went on to debut in active rock radio at number 35, beating out heavy metal and rock heavy weights such as "Coheed and Cambria" and "Soulfy" in spins and playlist additions.

With the desolution of their previous label home the band has continued its grass roots approach regardless and continued to tour all the way thru the end of 2008..coast to coast...independently.

The hard rock band is now poised with a dedicated international fan base, respect from its peer's and its own "Name Brand" due to the bands modo "TAKE IT TO THE STREETS", and armed with a new blistering release to be released in spring of 09 as well as a new label home..RIKETS is a band that's here to stay and has definitely carved its "niche" in the world of heavy music.

This reissue of the album that started it all has been remixed and re-mastered and is just as ear pounding the first two time's around. Rick Florino
