Appreciate the epic brutal amazingness that is Bland Street Bloom here. And all of SikTh for that matter.

yeah that's right. Here's the video (with lyrics.) This is an older version of the song though, from an EP, some of it is a bit different to the album version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-BzWuc16GE

According to the album liner notes this was supposed to be a chapter from a book Mikee was writing, I don't know what became of that though.
Man I love SikTh so much. There's always something new to hear, even in songs you've heard many times already. And their lyrics are so great, Pussyfoot with the best in my opinion.

Also, in case you haven't heard it, here's Suffice, one of the first songs they ever wrote. It's not as technical as most of their other material, but ye gods is it heavy. Some great vocals too, especially towards the end

For the record, I believe the best guitar work from all their material is the final piece in that clip, the end of 'Skies of Millenium Night' starting at '8:00.' An amazing piece of music, great guitar harmonies, a great drumbeat, just fantastic.

Also, Pin's guitars are so sexy. For those who don't know, he plays Blackmachine https://www.blackmachine.net/ which are custom made and damn beautiful. I was lucky enough to play his 8 string when I went to his house ( :hat) and it was a thing of beauty  :metal

Yeah they're heavy, at their heaviest they're REALLY heavy, but they also have sections of amazing beauty. Take a listen to this. It showcases their heavy and technical sides, but also the middle section demonstrates perfectly how they bring it down. For the record I don't think this is their best song, but it's the first song I heard by them, and it's a good starting point.

On May 27, 2008, SikTh announced that the band had decided to split due to numerous factors. The main reasons cited for their break up was the inability to find replacements for ex-vocalists Mikee and Justin, as well as commitment to other projects

That is awesome. Mikee needs more music out there, he has such a great voice. Was on the way home from work today and 'Suffice' came on, needless to say I maxed the volume and irritated all the nearby commuters. Oh god I wish SikTh were still around. Aliases (Pins new band) are OK but nothing amazing, IMO.

From the early days I only have the 'How May I Help You?' EP, it's worth it for 'Suffice' alone, but it only cost me about £5 and considering there's only 4 tracks on there it might be tough to justify if it's very expensive. I also have the 'Flogging the Horses' EP which is OK, I always preferred the early version of 'Part of the Friction' but that was released before the EP anyway. The 'Let The Transmitting Begin' EP is the one I really want though, loads of early and live stuff, especially on the Japanese version.

I miss SikTh.

I WANT TO BELIEVE. But i'm not holding my breath. Most of the members are pretty involved with other projects at the minute. Obviously Pin has Aliases and it looks like they're going to be taking off, Mikee is in a new band called The Painted Smiles and he seems pretty over SikTh in an interview in the new Metal Hammer. Dan and Justin are in Minutes and Dan Foord had a few things going on too. So although I would love to see it happen, I don't think it'll be any time soon.

You know I had a chance to go to SikTh's last ever show, and I had to turn it down because of work.  :tdwn :tdwn

Unless one of them dies, no doubt they'll do it.  How long since they disbanded?  3 years?  And people still regard them as UK metal royalty!  No doubt they'll reunite at some point.

And if they don't, then fuck you for not believing.  :neverusethis:

So the band has finally set up an official Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/sikthofficial in order to sell official merch. There's some interesting snippets on there.

Quote
So here it is!!! The first Official SikTh Merchandise store.
This page is run by the band - and only the band.

We've been blown away by the continued support we've had from our fans even though we split up a while back now. There's been a constant demand for merchandise so we thought we'd make it happen. We are starting with one of the old designs. We intend to add more designs If all goes well.

And before you all ask, NO we are not reforming - not yet. Some point in the future maybe, but as for 2012, all we have for you is T-Shirts and a thank you for making us all feel proud of what we achieved in SikTh.

They certainly are wetting everyone's appetite with all this new activity. There's some cool videos on the page too from when four of the guys played at ACM, my friend's music college. They used to come in quite often and do instrumental performances and talks, was pretty cool of them.

I've been addicted to Trees recently. How May I Help You? is probably one of the funniest songs I've ever heard. :metalol:

I god I love SikTh news

More Merch has been ordered guys.. hoodies and girls skinny tee's. we will then look at getting some of the other designs up. btw, Calls for a reunion are amazing.. thanks... OF COURSE we want to... we've never said other wise. It will happen when the times right. There WILL be another SikTh record... and it will be our best... thats a PROMISE. It took us the best part of 2 years to complete the writing of DOADD so I guess you'll have to be patient. Besides, theres a bucket load of riffs that we wrote for album three still sat there - so we'll have a head start next time ;-)

Yes.

So the band has finally set up an official Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/sikthofficial in order to sell official merch. There's some interesting snippets on there.

I don't see why they don't reform right away. There's clearly a demand for it, and they're clearly teasing us for some reason. New album, world tour, lather rinse repeat until the end of time.

Please?

Well some of the members are involved in side-projects right now... we have to remember that the band split up for a reason. But with that said, I really hope the new album will come out soon. :tup

I never heard why the vocalists left though. All I heard was they left and the rest of the band got tired of looking for replacements.

Looks like the rest of the band really wants SikTh to continue and for once the vocalists are not all negative about that happening. It's a matter of time like they say!! :caffeine:

So far I think only Pin and Dan Weller have posted. Mikee's not really a big internet user so I doubt he'll write on the page at all.

There's a new Primal Rock Rebellion video. I like it. It's definitely got more in common with SikTh than Iron Maiden, but it's more or less a completely new direction for both of them.

Listening to the Primal Rock Rebellion album. I'm enjoying it so far. It might just be getting by on the merit of hearing Mikee doing something that isn't SikTh though.

Edit: Upon further listening, I'd say this has potential to be in my top 10 of the year, and it's definitely the best thing that's been released so far this year.

What’s the plan for SikTh beyond that?

“Nothing yet. Nothing at all. We wanted to come back and do a really great gig and see how it goes. We’ve got new bands, we have obligations to our careers, but equally, we do want to make new SikTh music in the future at some point. This is a one-off gig for now, and then we’ll see how it goes…”

I remember first discovering SikTh, it was like getting hit in the head with a breeze block of riffage. How May I Help You is my favourite on that album.  And Skies of Millenium Night.  And Pussyfoot.  And everything else is my favourite.  I loves all of it really.

Didn't I tell you to listen that like six months ago? Anyway, great that you are finally appreciating the genius that is SikTh. And yes, Tupelo freaking slays.

Not really, both of those songs are rather fast-paced. This one seems more of a ballad. I'm kind of hoping this is the slowest, least intense song of the EP and the rest is full of the batshit insanity I've come to expect from the band.

Actually just give me 79 minutes of Skies of the Millennium Night. That would be fine.

I've listened to it a few times and it might just be the best thing they've ever done.

I was worried that after such a long wait, how could it ever reach expectations, but they've just nailed it. All the things you love about Sikth plus more. The vocals and melodies are incredible. That last song takes the band into new territory I'd like to here more of. Yeah love it love it, they have to be THE most important metal band of 2000's+

Loving the album so far.  The chorus on Weavers of Woe is about the sickest (SikThest?) breakdown I've heard in a while.  Makes sense as the logical follow up to Death of a Dead Day.
