Kyle Sokol is an American bassist and skateboarder. He has played in bands such as King of Denmark, Trace of Day, Sectioned, Trust for Liars, Rude Squad, Noble Jones, Philistines, Basmistist, Stretch, Leadfoot, Cadaveric Mass, the Lazarus Machine, Strict-9, Must Not Kill, and Hell on Earth.
He also did a metal project with vocalist Bryan Cegon from James Murphy's band Disincarnate, Roadrunner Records from 2001–2003. He currently has a new band with Bryan Cegon alongside a member of Resurrection in the national death metal band Sectioned. Sokol was chosen for the touring bass position with Pure Steel Records recording artist Seasons of the Wolf. As of August 2012, Sokol has been endorsed by Warwick and has a Warwick Streamer LX Custom and a Warwick Fretless Thumb bass as his main instruments.
He contributed to the long running Rivot Rag Tampa Bay metal music magazine / publication with a bass guitar column entitled "The Low End" for several years. He is one of the few bass players in metal that uses extensively the slap & pop playing technique, along with two-handed tapping. He was chosen by Kelly Shaefer of the Band Atheist to play while Kelly was in Neurotica and about to tour on Ozzfest. The reunion of Atheist never came to fruition for a myriad of reasons at that time. Sokol currently tours the South East with several bands. He teaches lessons privately and works as a session player in the Tampa, Florida area. He has worked with, played with, and or recorded with artists such as Victor Wooten, Anthony Wellington, Steve Bailey, Chuck Rainey, Peter Frampton, Edgar Meyer, Stu Hamm, Howard Levy, Joseph Wooten, Future Man, Richard Bona, JD Blair, Anthony Jackson, 311, Matisyahu, Rancid, Pietasters, Framing Hanley, Everclear, and 10 Years to name a few. He has served as a part-time staff member with Victor Wooten at his Wooten Bass/Nature Camp in Nashville, Tennessee.
