The Future in Whose Eyes? [LP]

by Sikth

Overview

The long-awaited third studio long-player from the influential English progressive/technical metal outfit, Future in Whose Eyes? is the first full-length outing from Sikth since 2006's acclaimed Death of a Dead Day, and the follow-up to their 2015 comeback EP Opacities. It also marks the debut of clean vocalist and former member of ALIASES Joe Rosser, who took over for Justin Hill after the latter decided to focus on his production career. Rosser, while not as robust a bellower as Hill, pairs well with lyricist and resident tonsil shredder Mikee W Goodman, especially on melodically charged cuts like "Golden Cufflinks," "Century of the Narcissist?," and "Riddles of Humanity." The songs themselves are both meaty and mighty, prone to sonic diversions and spilling over with Gatling-gun riffage, dystopic spoken word sections, and huge blasts of melody. Sikth's influence on progressive djent metal is hard to overstate -- bands like Periphery, Tesseract, and even Bring Me the Horizon, to a lesser extent, owe more than a cursory nod to their sonic emissions -- and Future in Whose Eyes? is as satisfying a distillation of their particular mish-mash of metal proclivities as one could hope for, especially coming after such a lengthy hiatus.
