The fantastic news that we had last year of Sikth’s sporadic rebirth with their appearance at Download Festival last year, which then snowballed into touring all over the world. Including a sold out show at London’s Koko, it seems that the band were blissfully unaware of just how incredible this band is.

Having not released any new material since 2006’s massively forward thinking Death Of A Dead Day,  Sikth are set to return to the studio to record a brand new EP. The as of yet untitled EP will surely be one of the years most anticipated releases, with recording penned for the summer a November release date is expected, this will also mark the first time that the band will be creating an album without the aid of a major label.

In support of the brand new EP Sikth will be returning for a small UK stint, including an appearance at London’s The Forum! Fantastic news for the boys, it must be incredbily humbling to understand the sheer magnitude of this band and the amount of people they have influenced and affected over the years!

Mikee W Goodman states :

 “We did not realise our music had spread so far! I believe we have amongst the most passionate and energetic fans in the World. I am honoured to play to them.”
“But what we have been asked most is about new music. My desire to make new SikTh music is as strong as it’s ever been. I can’t wait to get started!”

With guitarist Dan Weller chiming in :

“We’ve always maintained that more music would emerge one day and for the first time in years it feels like now is the time.  We had an amazing time travelling round the World last year. Having a chance to reconnect with our fans was very special for us. Since we have such a good relationship with our fans we decided that funding the E.P via a PledgeMusic campaign was the best option for us and them. We could have signed a deal but it just adds so many complications for a band like us”
