Our Take
Our Take
Hailed as pioneers of the progressive metal scene, SikTh have returned with their latest offering, "Opacities". The album, available in a digipak format, is a whirlwind of complex rhythms, blistering guitar work, and guttural vocals that will leave you questioning your own existence.
From the opening track, "Behind the Doors," SikTh waste no time in reminding us why they are legends in the metal world. The intricate guitar melodies intertwine with thunderous drumming, creating a cacophony of sound that is both mesmerizing and chaotic.
Tracks like "Philistine Philosophies" and "Wait For Something Wild" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend technical prowess with raw emotion. The haunting harmonies and soaring falsetto vocals add an extra layer of depth to an already dense sonic landscape.
But it's not all dark and brooding - songs like "Days Are Dreamed" and "Flogging the Horses" inject a sense of humour and playfulness into the mix. The band's quirky lyrics and unconventional song structures keep the listener on their toes, never quite knowing what to expect next.
Overall, "Opacities" is a testament to SikTh's talent and creativity. It's a challenging listen, but one that rewards those willing to dive headfirst into its chaotic depths. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the twisted minds of SikTh.
