Origin: Watford, England; formed 1999. Dual vocalists (Mikee Goodman, Justin Hill). Influential on djent. Discography highlights: 2003 debut album, Death of a Dead Day (2006), Opacities (2015), The Future In Whose Eyes? (2017). Hiatus 2008; reunited from 2013.

Across four reviews, SikTh are praised for hyper-technical, genre-warping metal and flagged as influential on djent. Death of a Dead Day (2006) impresses for power and precision but is seen by some as flatter and more uniformly metal than the debut. Standouts repeatedly mentioned include Bland Street Bloom, Part of the Friction, When the Moment’s Gone, and In This Light. The debut is lauded for variety and schizophrenic flair.
