SikTh<\/strong>, the UK\u2019s progressive metal forefathers, have commenced recording their brand new studio album.? The, as yet, untitled 3rd<\/sup> album will be their first new full length since 2006\u2019s ‘Death Of A Dead Day’<\/i> and follows on from last year\u2019s acclaimed Opacities<\/i> EP recorded after their reunion performance at the UK\u2019s legendary Download Festival. The new album is scheduled for a May 2017 release, with the first single and video entitled No Wishbones due to be released on Friday 10th<\/sup> February.<\/p>\n

Vocalist Mikee Goodman<\/strong> reveals how the recording sessions are progressing <\/b>“We’ve started recording and it is sounding really vibey so far. This album should be a lot more aggressive than our Opacities EP on the whole. A lot of slamming grooves there, also lots of intricacy and dynamics as always. <\/i>He goes on to explain the creative process within the band There is a formula in SikTh<\/strong> which works well. I always take the lead in the early stages and also I write all lyrics. But of course I am open to Joe Rosser<\/strong>, our new vocalist\u2019s melodic input later on. We have not entered that stage yet. These initial steps are me laying my ideas in, since I have a great studio set up, if I do something awesome now, it goes straight on the record. That’s a great thing because as most vocalists will tell you, it’s all about the vibe and feeling. It\u2019s all about the moment.”<\/i><\/p>\n

The vocals are primarily being recorded at Mikee\u2019s own studio and at Adrian Smith<\/strong> s (Iron Maiden) R&R Studios; Mikee & Adrian Smith worked together previously on the Primal Rock Rebellion<\/strong> project. The guitars and drums will be recorded at the renowned Monkey Puzzle House studios. Dan Weller<\/strong> will be producing, alongside Adam Nolly? Getgood<\/strong> (Periphery), handling mixing duties.<\/p>\n

The new album is to be released via Millennium Night, the newly created imprint from Snapper Music, home of Peaceville Records & Kscope. The label imprint name, chosen by SikTh<\/strong>, comes from the track taken from their debut 2003 album The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mikee explains “We have signed to Millennium Night, which is a new division of Snapper Music; they decided they would invent a new label just for us, we don’t fit in and we never felt the need to.<\/i><\/p>\n

Further updates from the studio will be revealed over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the release of their new studio album the band will head out on tour across the UK & Europe with Trivium.<\/p>\n
