SikTh Death of a Dead Day vinyl
A 10th anniversary edition of SikTh's Death Of A Dead Day on double heavyweight vinyl.
 
Death Of A Dead Day, arguably the band's most popular album, was recorded over a 6 week period in Miami in 2005 and was self-produced. Mixing and engineering duties were handled by Mike LaPlant (Skindred, Nonpoint, Soil, Dashboard Confessional). 
 
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 featured regularly on MTV's Headbangers ball in the US and was also heavily played in the UK.
 
SikTh played their largest headline tour to date in support of DOADD with Bland Street Bloom becoming the band's opening live track for years to come. Their appearance at 2006's Download Festival became legendary - the second stage tent was closed due to over capacity as the band put on a show that to this day defines their live reputation. It was in late 2007 the band decided to close the book on SikTh and they played their 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 - citing that SikTh gave birth to the movement.
