SIKTH revisit Death of a Dead Day with newly mixed Bland Street Bloom
SIKTH have shared Bland Street Bloom MMXXVI, a revived version of the opening track from their 2006 album Death of a Dead Day.
The new mix is the first preview of Death of a Dead Day MMXXVI, a 20th anniversary reissue arriving on 4th December via Cooking Vinyl. The record has been remixed by Adam “Nolly” Getgood, the producer and Periphery bassist whose connection to the album goes back to its original release.
Getgood’s new version brings extra weight and definition to the track’s jagged riffs, shifting rhythms and dual-vocal attack, revisiting one of the record’s most immediate entries without sanding down its more unruly edges. Watch the video here.
Nolly Getgood takes on a formative record
Speaking about the reissue, guitarist Dan Weller said: “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.”
Originally released on 6th June 2006, Death of a Dead Day pushed SIKTH’s technical instincts into some of their most volatile forms, moving between knotty guitar figures, heavy syncopation, spoken-word passages and sharp melodic turns. Alongside Bland Street Bloom, the album includes Flogging the Horses, Sanguine Seas of Bigotry and Part of the Friction.

The anniversary edition will be available as a two-CD set with an instrumental second disc, alongside several double-vinyl variants. These include orange and black marble vinyl, a silver and black splatter edition limited to 300 copies through the SIKTH store, a 200-copy white and black marble pressing through Sheet Happens, and ten white-label test pressings.
