The band returned in 2006 with their second full-length album Death of a Dead Day. Also in 2004, the band made an appearance at the debut Fuse Leeds festival of cross-disciplinary New Music, at the personal invitation of festival curator Django Bates (they played a support slot to Bates' own jazz ensemble on the closing night of the festival). The band subsequently traveled to Japan in 2004, firstly supporting Anthrax and Killswitch Engage, then playing at the Fuji Rock Festival in August with Lou Reed, PJ Harvey and Primus.
SIKTH DEATH OF A DEAD DAY SPOTIFY DOWNLOAD
In support of the album, Sikth performed at Download Festival at Donington Park in 2003. The album has sold approximately 30,000 copies in the UK, Japan and Australia.
Two singles were released from the album in "Scent of the Obscene" (October) and "Peep Show" (December). Mixing duties were handled by Colin Richardson. The album was produced by the band themselves, along with Andrew Scarth. SikTh's debut album The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild was released on 18 August 2003 through Gut Records. It went on to win the best video award in The Big Cheese Magazine, as well as reaching number 1 on MTV UK, and being an A-list video on MTV Asia. The song was made into an animated video, which was written, directed and produced by Mikee Goodman. The song "How May I Help You?" contained a story about a person called Rodney. A video for the song "(If You Weren't So) Perfect" was also contained. The band's first release for Gut Records was an EP titled How May I Help You? Released in 2002, it featured three tracks, two of which were on the band's debut album. Released in 2002, it featured three tracks, as well as a limited edition live CD from the BBC Radio 1 recordings of the same songs. Their first official release was an EP titled Let the Transmitting Begin. That line-up consisted of dual vocalists Mikee Goodman and Justin Hill, guitarists Dan Weller and Graham Pinney, bassist James Leach and drummer/percussionist Dan Foord. SikTh formed in late 1999, but consolidated their line-up in March 2001.
08 Feb – UK – London – 02 Academy Islington (without Kataklysm).07 Feb – UK – Wrexham – Central Station.01 Feb – UK – Birmingham – 02 Academy 2.The UK Tour dates co-headlining with Kataklysm are as follows: Vogg later decided to continue and subsequently reformed Decapitated during 2009, with Kerim "Krimh" Lechner (drums), Rafał Piotrowski (vocals) and Filip "Heinrich" Hałucha (bass). These tragic events forced what remained of the band into hiatus. Vocalist Covan survived the accident, but subsequently slipped into a coma. Sadly, Vitek died at the age of 23 on the 2nd November 2007 of injuries he sustained from a road accident on 28th October 28 2007. In 2005 "Sauron" was replaced by Adrian "Covan" Kowanek, with the band’s fourth album, Organic Hallucinosis, being released in 2006. In 2002 they released Nihility and in 2004 The Negation. Vitek and Martin were around 15, while Vogg and Sauron were around 18, which is hard to believe when you hear the technicality of the playing. It is important to remember that at the time of the recording Winds of Creation the band were still relatively young. In 2000 the band released their debut album, Winds of Creation. A year on 13-year-old bassist Marcin "Martin" Rygiel joined.įollowing the release of a couple of demos, the band signed with Wicked World, a subsidiary of Earache Records. At that time the average age of the members was 14, with Viteck a mere 12-year-old. The band was formed in 1996 by Wacław "Vogg" Kiełtyka (guitar), his brother Witold "Vitek" Kiełtyka (drums) and Wojciech "Sauron" Wąsowicz (vocals). Owing to the fact that the most excellent Polish Technical Death Metal band Decapitated are due to tour the UK in February and certain extreme music posts on the blog are picking up a large number of vistors from Polish metal sites (Jak się masz?), I felt it timely to do a post about the band, celebrating their awesome musical prowess.
