Sigh - New Album Details Revealed
News index | Most popular | RSS feed


Japanese avantgarde black metallers Sigh have announced that the band's ninth album In Somniphobia will be released in March, 2012, through Candlelight Records and have unveiled the album cover. In Somniphobia will be the follow-up to Sigh's last album Scenes From Hell.

The band commented on the upcoming release: "This album is by far more musically varied compared to the last two albums. Put heavy metal, classical music, jazz, Indian traditional music, Stockhausen, and Xenakis into a cauldron of hell and stir it, you'll get In Somniphobia. It is a pure sonic nightmare that lasts more than an hour."

Pregnant old woman solemnly carries some dead babies, two children handle skulls... What a disquieting cover.

I clearly didn't pay enough attention to the cover then, I totally missed that. Sick!

That cover art is fucking genius! Almost makes up for their poor last album alone.

Their last album could have been better if it wasn't for the production. It ruined the orchestral elements. But this song is giving me some hope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd4oTZabos8

The cover art just just as awesome as Scenes from Hell's. The description sounds like typical Sigh goodness but that promo song just sounds kind of bland for Sigh but then again they will probably do something new with the mixing/production/writing to give it that classic Sigh energy we all know and love.

For some reason I get the feeling that they're trying too hard with this cover. Not sure why... I just don't buy it.

I dunno. I always get this "we're SO different lol" vibe from them. Music and cover art.

Really? All their artwork has been fairly standard to me. I really liked the Japanese-looking ones they used to do and the others have all been nice but not out of the ordinary. This one genuinely has a strange style and vibe too it though. They're an odd band so it'll probably fit the music.

To be honest I'd probably think it's brilliant if like any other band used it.

Probably some subconscious judgment thing or whatever.

I have an awkward relationship with avant-garde music. Sigh fall into the "I hate this shit" category.

But they're Japanese, i.e. cool!

How can you say no to this:



I thought you were cool Troy. I really did.

Gallhammer is also Japanese and certainly not cool at all

Imo the only reason Sigh gets all the raise is because they are Japanese indeed. Somehow a lot of people equate Japanese with great. Don't ask me why, but they do.

I wouldn't say no to her, but I'm far from lusting over her from my computer.

And Marcel, I think there's actually a term for people who love anything Japanese. Vezzy would know, I'm sure.

That's the one Joe.

And yes Marcel, I'm pretty sure Flower Metal falls into the Otaku* category.

* is it a proper noun?

Japanophiles otherwise known as Weeabos: you know the type of people who will watch anime for thirty hours straight and declare it the best thing to happen since the dawn of creepy tenticle porn. I do enjoy anime myself but some people just get out of control with that stuff.
