Sikth, Great Progressive-Metal Band Options

[Toni Suominen]

Since there was no topic on this unfortunately now broken-up band, I wanted to start some discussion about them.
If you don't know them, here's some videos of them:

Their guitarwork is simply brilliant and also very inventive and unique. I've never heard anything like them. Super-technical but also melodic and with great hooks.

Check out their latest and sadly their last album "Death of a Dead Day" if you want to hear more of them. Personally I find it to be their best album

Yeah. They could at least've released some covers and b-sides. Think of a radiohead cover with a sikth twist or something like it. I can't say much more than that. Brilliant band. And uh yeh.. gotta love the "humour" in their music. Take the breakdown (or the whole song for instance) of Pussyfoot "live LiFe live LiFe NOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" *headbanging*.

Break up. what a shame. It'll be interesting to see what they'll do now. But something tells me it won't be near the brilliance of Sikth!
