I still remember where I was the day I first heard SikTh. Their music was so fresh and exciting to me that it opened up a whole new world of musical opportunities; a moment that I’ve never forgotten since. Insanely technical, hauntingly melodic, yet brutally heavy, SikTh changed the way I approached my own songwriting and judging by the slew of bands that followed suit, I wasn’t the only one inspired by their sound.

‘No Wishbone’ is our first recorded exhibit of new vocalist Joe Rosser and, like Justin Hill before him, his interactions with co-vocalist Mikee Goodman are cleverly interwoven and executed brilliantly. The classic SikTh ingredients are all here: wonderfully intricate guitar riffs, complex, driving drum rhythms and a huge dose of groove. It’s everything SikTh became known for, with a fresh new sheen and renewed enthusiasm.

Though they went away for almost a decade, the genre never caught up to their level and with ‘No Wishbone’ and 2015’s rebirth EP ‘Opacities’, SikTh have proven that they’re just as relevant today as they ever were when they began.
