SIKTH – Death of a Dead Day (10th Anniversary Edition) 2016

Conceived in the same kingdom that brewed IRON MAIDEN and NAPALM DEATH, SikTh blended the former’s gradiosity and progressive edge with the latter’s abrasivenesses and hectic shifts. But from the first listen, SikTh’s “Death of a Dead Day” sounds like it came from a universe where matchcore bands gave their hooks room to breathe, progressive bands didn’t get bogged down with proficiency and death metal bands focused on clean, melodic songs more than speed. Sure, all of that happens sometimes, but how often do you hear it all on the same record?
