Ahead of the band’s forthcoming headline tour, SikTh, have revealed a new video for the song “The Aura” from their recently released new album The Future In Whose Eyes?

The new clip, already confirmed as Scuzz TV’s Spankin’ New Video Of The Week, was directed by SikTh’s own Mikee W Goodman, here he comments on video concept: “The Aura” was initially lyrically inspired by a day I spent with a magical being. It then spiralled into dreamscape memories and reflections. I tried to bring this out in the music video. The shadows of dancers appear now and then which is a direct link to the chorus lyrics. The rest of the story is told through one actress playing the flower being role. All this is intercut with band footage. “

Watch the new video for ‘The Aura’ below:

LETHVM new album “This Fall Shall Cease” is out !


LETHVM (doom sludge – Belgium) has signed to label Deadlight (ORACLES, WITCHTHROAT SERPENT, PRIMAL AGE) for the release of their debut album “This Fall SHall Cease”. Formed in Belgium during the year 2015, LETHVMdelivers the perfect blend between hard boiled doom laden sludge and extreme metal. A few months ago, the quartet entered Noise Factory Studio (CHANNEL ZERO) to record their debut album entitled “This Fall Shall Cease” which release is set for the end of the year.

“I came to the knowing of LETHVM when I was attending Roadburn Festival 2016 where Cult of Occult was playing and they introduced to theses guys. Later in november 2016, I saw them live in their hometown in Belgium along with other bands like BATHSHEBA and I was totally impressed by their show!

To say I was impatient to listen to their album is an euphemism and I was quickly conquered by it when they came back to me when the album was recorded” says Deadlight boss Alexandre Martinez
