SIKTH’S NEW ALIAS[ES]

Monday, July 12th, 2010 at 3:30pm by

aliasesBack in April we told you that Pin, guitarist of the much beloved, now departed MetalSucks proverbial wet dream band SikTh, is back with a new SikTh-y new project called Aliases. Since SikTh fans are generally the kind of music dorks who troll message boards and update Wikipedia instantly with anything so much as the growth of a new testicle hair on any one member’s scrotum, I doubt that this was news to any existing fans but I do hope I turned a few new folks on to the magic of SikTh and/or Aliases.

Aliases have finally posted their first full song, “We Never Should Have Met,” the first with their new vocalist whose name doesn’t seem to be posted anywhere. The song is appropriately SikTh-y, although the lack of SikTh’s patented two-vocalist approach makes it different enough so as not to be too close for comfort. But isn’t too close for comfort kinda what we all want from any post-SikTh projects anyway? Regardless, the song rules. Check it out.

    the thing that did it for me with SikTh were the crazy dual vocals, which just melded together perfectly with the crazy-ass guitar and drum work. this, however, just feels like another techcore band.

      The duo sounded like a British comedy I didn’t understand. I think thats what I liked the most

  • Fufkin

    Glad he’s making music again. I like Sikth, saw them back in the day – very impressive live.

    Well this is just everything I want in a single song. Thanks Pin.

  • Watty

    Am I the only one who thinks this is subpar compared with Pin’s previous work?

    The riff used in the beginning feels forced and is overused throughout the song. The main riff as well as what you could call the chorus is pretty solid, but I just feel like the cohesive vibe is missing…

    Here’s hoping the rest of their songs top this decent offering…

    Wow, Aliases, Converge and Cephalic Carnage news in the span of a few days. My cup runneth over.

  • shreddies

    fucking awesome tune.

  • Sam!

    Gotta remember, Dan Weller was the main song writer in SikTh so it’s never gonna be the same. But Pin is my all-time hero and he could literally record an album of farts, on his own, and it would still fucking rule!

    Jay Berast is the singers name from Aliases by the way :)
