SikTh Announces 1st U.S. Tour Dates

British progressive metal group SikTh will embark on its first ever U.S. tour next month as main support for Periphery on the "Sonic Unrest" tour. Chron and Toothgrinder round out the package for the 23-city trek, beginning August 4th in Raleigh, N.C. A full list of dates can be seen below.

SikTh vocalist Mikee Goodman comments: "Touring America has always been a huge goal for SikTh; up to this point it hasn't been possible, but we're pleased to announce we are finally coming over as direct support to Periphery in August! August is a significant month in our career as it marks the 16th anniversary of our first release ('The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild'). We've taken our time, but this is a great tour and opportunity to play for our very patient fans in the U.S. and also make new fans!"

SikTh is touring in support of the "Opacities" mini-album, which is available at iTunes. See the band live:
