Guitarist Dan Weller commented:
“I can’t quite believe it’s been 20 years since ‘Death Of A Dead Day.’ It’s an album that we’re still incredibly proud of, and it means a huge amount to us.
We’re really excited for people to hear the 2026 version, with Nolly bringing his fresh take to the mix. I think it’s turned out great. It’s also pretty crazy to think that Nolly was one of the first people to start making SikTh guitar covers on YouTube when the album was originally released. In a way, that makes him the perfect person to revisit it — there aren’t many people who know ‘Death Of A Dead Day’ as intimately as he does.”
Getgood added:
“It’s hard to overstate just how impactful ‘Death Of A Dead Day’ was on me, and on so many of the people in my circle. Giving the album a sonic freshen-up has been an absolute joy and left me even more in awe of what the band created 20 years ago.
When I started the remixing project, I wondered if peering behind the curtain would take away some of the magic, but the opposite was true: the songs are more majestic, heavier and more deeply layered than I ever realized, and the performances are so incredibly bold and characterful. As a body of work it’s still so fresh, perhaps even more relevant than before with all that has happened in the progressive metal space in the interim.
I hope this remix brings it all back again for OG fans, and blows away new listeners the same way it did for us back in 2006!”
