EP Review
Sikth - Flogging The HorsesSikth - Flogging the Horses

Soon after the band released their second album 'Death of a Dead Day', they are releasing a new ep upon us titled 'Flogging the Horses'. The ep features four audio tracks and the animated video for 'Bland Street Bloom' which was the lead single from the bands second studio album 'Death of a Dead Day'

The first track on the ep is the title track 'Flogging the Horses' which is a track taken from the bands second album 'Death Of A Dead Day' and the one thing I really like about this song and pretty much every Sikth song is the vocals, the build up of drum beats is pretty impressive as well. The second track of the ep 'Where Do We Fall?' is also taken from the bands second album. This track starts off pretty mellow with mellow guitar playing and soft vocals which both build up in time and then fall back down to the mellowness, the vocals stand out from anything the band have done before and the build ups/downs work well.

Track three 'Part of the Friction' is a demo recording and sounds pretty well produced for a demo and features a mixture of vocals from freaky screams to Jonathon Davis sounding shouts, I really like this song. The final track on the ep is 'When Will The Forest Sleep?' which is a live recorded track which originally featured on the bands debut studio album 'The Trees Are Dead And Dried Out Wait For Something Wild' and is just as good live as it is a studio recording.

Sikth have had a great year so far in 2006 with the release of their second album in many countries, many tours of the UK and now the release of a stunning new ep and then more tours that lead them up to the new year.

4/5
