Now the band is set for a career first, their inaugural North American tour. They are set to join Periphery on their ‘Sonic Unrest’ tour as main support, beginning on 4^th August in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Vocalist Mikee Goodman comments: “Touring America has always been a huge goal for SikTh – up to this point it hasn’t been possible but we’re pleased to announce we are finally coming over as direct support to Periphery in August! August is a significant month in our career as it marks the 16th anniversary of our first release (The Trees Are Dead & Dried Out Wait for Something Wild) – we’ve taken our time but this is a great tour and opportunity to play for our very patient fans in the US and also making new fans!”

Tickets on-Sale: Friday, April 29^th @ 10:00AM Local time

Recorded at Lincoln’s Chapel Studios and produced by Dan Weller and Justin Hill (mixed by Forrester Savell – Karnivool, Animals As Leaders, Dead Letter Circus) ‘Opacities’ was described by guitarist Dan Weller as a “more thoughtful, heavier, more refined’ record, demonstrated in the video for ‘Philistine Philosophies’, which was directed and created by Mikee W Goodman.
