This album is one of the weirdest things i have ever heard.. 70's psychedelic rock music with melodic black? Somehow I find myself like it pretty much, but I don't really like the vocals.. But damn, the music is interesting

Wow... I've never heard anything like this.

Yeah they sound out of place, maybe a bit "goofy". The rest is good stuff, it deserves further and careful listens.

Mind boggling awesome.

It's not as good as their past 2 albums were, but it's still excellent material as always. It sounds kind of like a mash-up of Imaginary Sonicscape and Gallows Gallery.

That was a... weird... album.
I don't know what the fuck was that, but that was good.
Some electronic elements is Black Metal... wow!

God bless the Japanese. I give this a weird and enthusiastic thumbs up.

Ok, that was lovely. First listen and I can already say it's majestic.

Awesome shit

Damn!

This album was one hell of a crazy ride. Often times you are just bombarded by all kinds of instruments and sounds and the great thing about it is that in some weird way it still manages to feel cohesive. The transitions are done in a nice way with most of the songs slowly building up as they get progressively more wicked.

While listening to In Somniphobia I wasn't afraid of falling asleep, on the contrary, I was under the impression that I experienced a feverish dream. And I loved every second of it.

I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Great work by Sigh; great avantgarde work, nice and catchy tunes and some kind of twisted brutality to it.

Loving this.

Wow, I listened to this album not knowing anything about this band but I heard some of their music before and I didnt like it.. This album hits everything, multiple genres, vocals, speeds, atmospheres. Great album! I actually listened to it on repeat the first time I heard it! Many instruments going on you dont whats coming up next! I'm a big fan of Japanese music and the only "extreme" band I listened to was Dir En grey (and a dozen other Japanese bands I wont mention on a metal site.) This album is great! Come on, a Japanese that even covers Jazz music while still jammin some black metal.... What more could u ask for...!! It's awesome! 10/10
I think this will always be a great album that your average "metalhead" overpassed... Trust me.. Its fun! -cheers

Their most bizarre work to date, and I absolutely love it.

Same. I've always thought of Sigh as being way too messy for my tastes. :/

Yah...... this album is not bad though.... It just doesn't fit my tastes too.

As of now, "Amongst The Phantoms Of Abandoned Tumbrils" is in tough competition with "Slaughtergarden Suite" for being my favorite Sigh song. What a stunning progression of sounds... o_o

A brilliant album. One of my favourites this year. Sigh's music sounds as inspired as ever.

Pure shit! ... 2 songs are average, the rest are shit!

Pure awesomeness All songs are the shit. If I had to choose a single favorite off this masterpiece it would be "The Transfiguration Fear."

Is that the Meads of Asphodel dude I hear? Sure sounds like it.

Yup, says right there on the guest list in this very page.

Metatron - vocals, narration on 3 and 8

In Somniphobia is, in a word, Avant-garde bm masterpiece. "The Transfiguration Fear" ,"Equale: I) Prelude II) Fugato III) Coda" is again, the greatest song written in generations.

This album is quite underrated, at least in Sigh's discog.

Not a big fan of the first 2 or 3 tracks, but the rest more than makes up for it

Dark, weird, mesmerizing in a twisted wonderful way. They never run out of ideas. Orchestration and melodies give me a strong soundtrack feeling, making me almost able to see images, colors, scenes. The mixture of genres, tones, structures and rythms make this a highlight in their career (and there are no few) and one of the best avant-garde bm albums ever released.

Honestly I find no flaw in here.
