Sikth Crowd Funding New EP, Announces Live Shows

Following on from the band's triumphant return to the metal scene in 2014, London’s Sikth has decided to answer the calls from fans and record new music in 2015.

“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” says guitarist Dan Weller. “We had an amazing time travelling round the world last year. Having a chance to reconnect with our fans was very special for us”

The as-yet-untitled EP will be the follow-up to the 2006 album "Death Of A Dead Day" and will see the band enter the studio for the first time in 10 years.

Mikee W Goodman adds: "We did not realize 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!"

Recording starts this summer with a November release date penned, it will also be the first time Sikth will make a record without the assistance of a record label. A crowd funding campaign is now online, which you can take part in at this location.

“Since we have such a good relationship with our fans we decided that funding the EP 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” adds Weller.

In support of the new EP Sikth will also be returning to the stage in December with a string of headline dates in the U.K. Details are as follows:

5/12/2015 Glasgow Classic Grand
6/12/2015 Manchester Academy 2
