Following their reformation at Download Festival in 2014, British progressive metal forefathers SIKTH released their new mini-album ‘Opacities’ in December last year on Peaceville to critical claim.

Now the band are set to keep the momentum going in 2016 by revealing that they will support SLIPKNOT on their UK tour next month. This run of shows will see them playing arenas across the UK as well as 2 nights at London’s Alexandra Palace. Vocalist Mikee Goodman comments:

“It’s insane to be supporting someone as huge as Slipknot and playing arenas every night! We’ve never had this kind of opportunity before! I remember when they first came out , they changed the scene. We’re fans, so it’s an honour to be asked to tour with such a band!”

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

Corey Taylor – best known as the lead singer in SLIPKNOT– lends his unique vocals to the Fisher King, a terrifying new foe in this week’s episode of the BBC‘s  Doctor Who.

Corey is a big Doctor Who fan and was delighted to help make the Fisher King extra scary by recording roars and screams that can be heard in ‘Before the Flood’ which starts this Saturday 10th October at 8.25pm on BBC One.(UK). He described the experience as “awesome” and took time out to visit the TARDIS (below) during his time at the BBC’s Roath Lock Studios.

“We needed an awesome roar for the Fisher King,” producer Derek Ritchie explained. “We asked Corey if he might like to do the honours… He was completely up for it!”

“He has one of the most well-known screams in the history of music,” Derek added. “We now have the most incredible roar for our incredible monster! He now sounds as terrifying as he looks!”

SLIPKNOT will play four UK arena dates in February 2016, reported metalhammer.teamrock.com.

Corey Taylor and co will perform in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, according to Radio One’s Rock Show host Daniel P Carter.

The band are riding high on the success of fifth album “.5: The Gray Chapter” and have a number of North American dates lined up for this month, before their inaugural Knotfest Mexico event.

Last month, Taylor denied rumours that ‘The Negative One’ from the current album was about former drummer Joey Jordison. He said: “Honestly, I didn’t even realise you could have read it that way. It was furthest from my mind – none of the songs are about Joey. All the songs are about the band in general.”
SLIPKNOT FEBRUARY 2016 UK ARENA DATES:

Feb 08: Cardiff Motorpoint Arena

Feb 09: London Alexandra Palace

Feb 12: Birmingham Genting Arena

SLIPKNOT: Bassist Alex ‘Vman’ Venturella In Hospital Dash

SLIPKNOT bassist Alex ‘Vman’ Venturella was rushed to hospital midway through a show in Hartford, Connecticut, last night (Sunday 2nd August) according to metalhammer.teamrock.com.

The concert was delayed for 20 minutes after he suffered an unidentified medical crisis, forcing the band to leave the stage.

He was sent off in an ambulance, then the remaining eight members returned to complete their performance.

Frontman Corey Taylor told the crowd: “I’m sorry to say that our bass player, Alex – something happened. I’m not sure what happened. He’s going to the hospital as we speak.

“I want you to all make some noise for him – send him some fucking love.”

He continued: “We had a choice to come back out here. We’ve had to modify some shit, but we’re going to keep on playing for you. It’s what we want. It’s what Alex would fucking want.”

The band later posted a video of the crowd chanting Venturella’s name.

He and drummer Jay Weinberg joined Slipknot before their studio return for .5: The Gray Chapter, released last year. At first Taylor suggested their identities would never be officially confirmed – but last month he discussed them by name, adding that Venturella was “so into it that he’s started to kind of come up the front – really started to own it.”
