For fans of: Sikth / The Dillinger Escape Plan / Protest the Hero / Between the Buried and Me
If ever a band could be criticized for ending too early, Sikth have to be the worst offender. Releasing two albums in their career, The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild (yes, stupidly long title) and Death of a Dead Day, Sikth were way ahead of their time playing a blend of Progressive Math-Metal and Hardcore, now mimicked by a huge swarm of bands today. Both albums were released to universal acclaim, but alas, it was not to be, and in 2007 both vocalists (yup, they had two, they’re just that damn cool huh?) left the band. The band decided to disband a year later after failing to find replacements.
All that aside, it’s time for a new chapter, and ex guitarist Pin (That’s his name? Yeah, don’t ask me) is back with a new band called Aliases, starting where Sikth left off. The first track from the band, We Should Never Have Met, is a perfect blend of Metal brutality, displaying great promise for future music from the band. I for one cannot wait to hear more music. Bring on the album!
