Throughout the album SikTh provides the best example of who they have been and who they are now by marrying all their odd eccentricities into one complete whole. The lyrics of Mikee Goodman are as eccentric as ever – married with his off-kilter vocal gymnastics with new member Joe Rosser the two play off each other as if past member Justin Hill never left. The opener ‘ Vivid’ is a clear indication time has not diminished the impact of their compositions as the sound of feedback is met with the technical orientated greatness you’ve come to expect from the lynchpins of their sound via the guitar work of guitarists Pin and Dan Weller. I’m happy to report that the follow-up The Future in Whose Eyes? Is anything but a cash in on their legacy and heralds the beginning of a brand new chapter in their already unquestionable career. SikTh who are arguably more important than Meshuggah when it comes to influencing the new-wave of technical guitar orientated progressive bands, have finally returned with a new record in tow, a whole 11 years since the release of their now classic album Death of a Dead Day. Many of these acts, have unfortunately not been able to withstand the inevitable burden of expectation that comes along with such a return. Twitter: Over the last several years, we’ve seen many legacy acts in heavy metal and elsewhere returning from the brink of oblivion to grace the world with their music once again.
