If you're a fan of bands like Periphery and Destrage, then you have Sikth to thank. This is the band that pioneered that mental, spastic sound that always seems to be revolving around some kind of hummable core. So after nine years, I think everyone should sit their ass down for the next half an hour or so and listen to Opacities. The best part is that Sikth doesn't seem to have missed a beat!
The mini-album comes out on December 4 and I'm sure you'll be persuaded to buy it once you stream the whole thing below. You can thank The Independent for that one!
