Their break-up is a loss to the rest of us, but even if they never record another note, SikTh could be remembered as the best British metal band of the decade.
The recent success of prog-inflicted bands like MASTODON makes me wonder what kind of audience an '09 release from SikTh would find. 4988002455713 Trees Are Dead & Dries Out, Wait For., Sikth. How else to explain the way that they leave everyone else in the dust–most death metal bands sound generic next to the staggering "As the Earth Spins Round" and the showiest prog-metal theorists get shown up all over "Way Beyond the Fond Old River." Remember that kid you went to school with, who seemed like he was better than you at everything without even trying? Imagine that that guy was actually cool, and that he made a metal record. When it turns out that Martians have been existing among metalheads, I'll nominate SikTh as Exhibit A. The melodic "Where Do We Fall" even indicates at future radio success, if GOJIRA covering QUEENSRYCHE ever had a chance on your FM dial. The haunting "In This Light" sounds like it crawled off of a side of TOOL's Ænima, and the spoken interlude "Mermaid Slur" sports the band's NICK CAVE influence almost as much as their "Tupelo" cover on their first album, The Trees are Dead & Dried Out…Wait for Something Wild. This is the kind of band that makes you inadvertently headbang and pump your fist. governor-appointed grossness Okres Willmon Burri death/black Hammerstein.

SIKTH DEATH OF A DEAD DAY TPB FULL
Perhaps that's because Death of a Dead Day never sounds like it's imitating anything elseĭespite all its compositional and stylistic shifts, Death of a Dead Day never stops being catchy. Sikth have announced that the last show of their upcoming UK tour will see them perform 2006 album Death Of A Dead day in full for the first time. For such an aggressive band, SikTh are never overwhelming, and even moments like the blaring "Another Sinking Ship and the almost unimaginable "Summer Rain" sound organic. Guitarists PIN and DAN WELLER verge on beating the lives out of their instruments, but that's only apparent after multiple listens–there's too much to dissect on Death of a Dead Day for concern over how it was made. Opening with the frantic one-two punch of "Bland Street Bloom" and "Flogging the Horses," instant riffs contort under relentless drumming and yelping vocal spasms. But SikTh's defining moment arrived on the otherwise uneventful 6/6/06, when they treated the masses to Death of a Dead Day. After several EPs and a full-length on Gut Records, SikTh enjoyed an appearance at Download, a Japan tour with ANTHRAX, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN and sold-out U.K.
