They just sound so...heavy. I'm not much of a djent guy, nor do the vocals do much for me.

MetalManiac666 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 14, 2010, 11:50:14 AM »

Wait, they're too heavy for you?

faemir · « **Reply #38 on:** March 14, 2010, 12:44:35 PM »

Well stuff like BTBAM took me a loooong time to get into, and I like Meshuggah only in small doses...

Yes Opeth are my favourite band, but they don't sound anywhere near as heavy as these guys to me.

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.

My buddy Peter Skipper is playing bass in "Minutes" with Dan and Justin from Sikth.

GUYS SIKTH JUST KIND OF CLICKED FOR ME

(Listening to The Tree Are Dead... I hope it was the right starting point. On track 6 and i'm utterly utterly sold)

So can someone explain why they broke up?

AcidLameLTE · « **Reply #43 on:** May 05, 2010, 02:37:53 PM »

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

SikTh pwn. Here are some videos you could see for yourself on YouTube.

Early version of Such The Fool

Early Pussyfoot live

By the way, Pin is in a new band called Aliases. They have one track on their myspace. It's....OK. Not SikTh though

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #47 on:** August 28, 2010, 06:11:09 AM »

I stumbled across this Aliases track. I think its pretty freaking good man, check it out!

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

I just listened to this song after hearing of the band but never looking into them.

Why didnt anyone inform me of this earlier?

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #52 on:** September 19, 2010, 04:06:51 PM »

Wow I just added Pin on facebook and he accepted me AND wrote on my wall. What a legend!

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #53 on:** January 21, 2011, 02:19:51 PM »

Also, who knew about this?

https://www.ironmaiden.com/index.php?categoryid=8&p2_articleid=1282

Adrian Smith and Mikee Goodman working on music together??!! For me this is the stuff of dreams.

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #54 on:** January 21, 2011, 02:56:48 PM »

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.

Man, the ratio heavy/soft of The Trees... is just incredible! I'm really getting into these guys!

I love the Aliases track, eh. I think they could be on to something awesome there... can't wait to hear the EP.

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #58 on:** February 12, 2011, 10:22:21 AM »

Yeah it's grown on me since I posted that. Still no SikTh, but it's good. They're playing a little gig not to far from me soon with a couple of other good bands, might go check it out

SoundscapeMN · « **Reply #59 on:** February 12, 2011, 12:53:55 PM »

I recently acquired Trees on disc. I own both the full-lengths now. I'd love to acquire the EPs as well, although the 1st 2 appear to be available for a pretty spendy number.

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.

ive never been asked by so many people to reform sikth. it was the only question I heard all week at download. we are gonna do it at some point. without a doubt... who knows when though."

HOLY FUCK

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #64 on:** August 27, 2011, 03:36:28 PM »

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.

sneakyblueberry · « **Reply #65 on:** August 29, 2011, 06:53:29 PM »

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.

Arch Benemy · « **Reply #66 on:** January 04, 2012, 03:39:43 PM »

Finally a track from Primal Rock Rebellion, the project by Mikee and Iron Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith. Not bad, but not amazing. Don't expect SikTh
