SIKTH Announce 10th Anniversary Edition Of Death Of A Dead Day Album
British progressive metal forefather SikTh has announced the re-release of its acclaimed 2006 sophomore album, Death Of A Dead Day, on the 10th anniversary of its original release, September 30th, via Peaceville.
Death Of A Dead Day, arguably the band's most popular record, was recorded over a 6 week period in Miami, FL in 2005, self-produced with mixing and engineering duties handled by Mike LaPlant (Skindred, Nonpoint, Soil, Dashboard Confessional). The album's opening track "Bland Street Bloom" was a brutal progressive thrash song with vocalist Mikee W. Goodman penning lyrics inspired by the gentrification of the UK High Street. The song also spawned an animated video (directed by Tim Fox) which was featured regularly on MTV's Headbangers Ball and was heavily played in the UK - stream the video below.
SikTh played its largest headline tour to date in support of Death Of A Dead Day with "Bland Street Bloom" becoming the band's opening live track for years to come. SikTh's appearance at 2006's Download Festival became legendary - the second stage tent was closed due to overcapacity and the band put on a show that to this day defines its live reputation. In late 2007, the band decided to close the book on SikTh, playing its final show to an emotional crowd in London.
In the years that followed, SikTh's name and influence was kept alive by bands like Protest The Hero, Periphery, TesseracT and Animals As Leaders. The genre known as 'djent' flourished with many stalwarts of the scene, including Meshuggah, claiming SikTh gave birth to the movement.
The 10th Anniversary edition of Death Of A Dead Day will be released on CD with three exclusive bonus tracks - demo versions of "Flogging The Horses," "Part Of The Friction," and "Where Do We Fall"; plus heavyweight double LP with MP3 download code and digitally. Pre-orders will be available Friday, September 9th at this location.
