SIKTH BREAKS UP; AXL, KIP AND VINCE CRY THEMSELVES TO SLEEP

100

Sikth

Well, it was inevitable, wasn’t it? After a year-long search for two new vocalists, UK prog-metallers Sikth, a perennial favorite of MetalSucks, have decided to call it a day. Thanks to MetalSucks reader Gerrit G., who sent us a link to the band’s MySpace blog posted today with the following message:

R.I.P. SIKTH 2001-2008

It deeply saddens the four of us to announce that we are closing the book on SIKTH… it’s time to split up.
A combination of factors have driven us to make this decision.
We want to assure you that if it were viable for us to carry on – we would.
We are so proud of all that we have achieved as Sikth and we have agreed to work together again in the future.
we are currently involved in new projects so keep checking our personal pages for announcements.
And finally, we owe such huge and sincere thanks to all of you for listening to our music and enabling us to live our dream. We know we have left you in the dark lately and we are sorry for that.
Your loyalty will never be forgotten.

Dan, James, Dan, Pin.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. We got two AWESOME — and I mean fucking phenomenal — albums out of them. And it sounds like the members will be involved in other stuff as well. If any of our readers happen to know what’s in the works, do let us know. But tonight I’ll jam Death of a Dead Day in memoriam.
