ABOUT SIKTH
SIKTH are widely regarded as pioneers of the djent/tech and progressive metal movement. Formed in 1999 in Watford, England, the band solidified their influential six-piece lineup in 2001: vocalists Mikee Goodman and Justin Paul Hill, guitarists Dan Weller and Pin, bassist James Leach, and drummer Dan Foord.After two acclaimed EPs,
SIKTH released their groundbreaking debut album
The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild in 2003, followed by the fan-favourite
Death of a Dead Day in 2006. Known for their frenetic energy, complex arrangements, and dual-vocal assault,
SIKTH quickly earned a cult following through relentless touring and major festival appearances.In 2007, Goodman and Hill stepped away from the band to pursue other ventures, and
SIKTH disbanded soon after. However, their influence only grew, cited by a new wave of progressive and technical metal bands.Following a surge in demand,
SIKTH reunited in 2014, returning triumphantly to headline a stage at Download Festival. In 2015, they released the
Opacities mini-album, followed by a sold-out UK tour and a major arena tour supporting Slipknot. After this run, Hill departed once again, with Joe Rosser stepping in on vocals. The band’s third full-length album,
The Future in Whose Eyes?, arrived in 2017.
Justin Hill rejoined SIKTH in 2022, with the band headlining a sold-out show at London’s Electric Ballroom.
To date, SIKTH have toured across 26 countries, leaving their mark on stages worldwide. Members of the band have also collaborated or guested with artists from Iron Maiden, Deftones, Cypress Hill, Periphery, Devin Townsend, and more — underlining their continued influence and relevance in heavy music.
