Yikon come to life in February 2008, from the encounter between guitarist Jekil Ale Fiore (Raw Evil) and bassist Valerio Possetto (ex Royal Dutch). They are joined, soon after that, by Fabrizio Fornero (Clockwork) at drums and Federico Rankin (Liquid Bread) at vocals.
The four members of the band, each one coming from different experiences, immediately find the right alchemy and start composing their own songs.
The undertaken direction melts together the powerful sound of METAL, the direct energy of ROCK and the '70's ATTITUDE.
In Winter 2009, at One Voice Studio, working with Daniele Giordana (Hatebreed, Monster Magnet, Eyehategod, Sick Of It All...) the band begins the production of their debut cd.
In July 2010 the band brings out the selftitled album, composed of 9 tracks.
