SikTh - Reveal Mini-Album Cover And More


A few months ago, SikTh announced a new EP which now turns out to be a mini-album, their first release since they reunited in 2013 and since 2006's EP Flogging The Horses. Today we find out more about this release. It's titled Opacities and is made up of 6 songs including one spoken word. The cover artwork that has been created by Dan Mumford is available below and you can pre-order this release here.





Singer Mikee Goodman says of this release: "I really love what Dan Mumford has done here. There is a clear divide under the cityscape between the bright over indulgent lights of the riches and then the squalor underneath. The concept of Opacities comes from the layers we see beneath the surface. The undertone of the city. It can relate to anything though whether it be humans or whatever. Also inspired by the hypocrisy in modern culture."

After the November release, SikTh have a December UK tour scheduled with support coming from Hacktivist and Feed The Rhino:

Sat 5th - Classic Grand, Glasgow
Sun 6th - Academy 2, Manchester
Thur 10th - Motion, Bristol
Fri 11th - Academy 2, Birmingham
Sat 12th - Forum, London

Not sure about that artwork, but new SikTh is new SikTh.

Lovely artwork. Looks like a cross between Pertubator and KMFDM or something. Really hope they do something akin to the debut album. Every year I go back to Death of a Dead Day and it gets a bit more rubbish each time, whereas the debut maintains its genius to this day.

Album art's interesting. Getting a bit of a Perturbator vibe, though I'm curious if it'll show in the music.

Also hoping for something more like the first release. Either that or something new but equally raw in goodness

First impressiom - since when SikTh is making synthwave? Cover looks totally like Perturbator or Power Glove. Wonder if they will add some synthwave to their music:D

I see what you mean. Just needs a samurai and a guy with wings having a battle near the bottom and it would be complete.
