"THE BRITISH METAL FOREFATHERS SIKTH RETURN WITH THEIR FIRST FULL-LENGTH ALBUM IN 11 YEARS - INCLUDES BONUS TRACKS
"this is compelling art which will continue to reveal rich undertones for years to come" 4/5 Kerrang
A keystone in the progressive metal genre, SikTh's legacy gave the inspiration for bands like Protest The Hero, Periphery, TesseracT and Animals As Leaders following their hiatus in 2007. Now in 2017 the intense and enigmatic frontman Mikee Goodman is joined by Alias' vocalist Joe Rosser and special guest singer Spencer Sotelo from Periphery as SikTh's first ever guest performer on an album, cementing the relationship formed between the bands on their US tour in 2016.
Mikee commented on the new album: "Personally I feel this is our best album yet. The band have made incredible music, brutal, technically warped and also some psychedelic moments... we've done something special here." The SikTh frontman explained the artwork, created by Meats Meier, whose credits include the film "Hellboy" and TOOL: "Meats Meier is an absolute genius, a visionary and a pioneer. We wanted something really special and we got it; the inspiration was the title itself, the constant evolution of humanity and the self destructive nature of man."
The Future In Whose Eyes? was recorded at Mikee Goodman's studio, Adrian Smith's (Iron Maiden) R&R Studios and at the renowned Monkey Puzzle House. Produced by band member Dan Weller (previous: Enter Shikari, Young Guns & Gallows), and mixing by Periphery's Adam "Nolly" Getgood (mixed Devin Townsend Project & Animals As Leaders). This mid-price CD is presented in digipack packaging complete with a 16-page booklet.
