“It's hard to overstate how influential this album was. It’s the connecting glue between me, Misha and Periphery”: How Adam ‘Nolly’ Getgood went from Sikth super-fan to playing in the band

Adam Nolly Getgood onstage with Sikth at Manchester Academy.

Currently celebrating the 20th anniversary of their landmark 2006 album, Death of a Dead Day, Sikth are an extraordinary band.

Having grown up listening to the likes of Joe Satriani, Iron Maiden and, er, Level 42, the band's front line (guitarists Dan Weller and Pin, and bassist James Leach) shared a collective passion for full-on virtuoso musicianship.
