SIGH, c'est pas moyen, c'est de la fraicheur pour les cages à miel qui sont infestés de saloperie musicale.

P'tain, je deviens poète.

Quelques news du nouvel album :

From THE END RECORDS:

Groundbreaking Japanese act SIGH have revealed the artwork for their 7th studio album, titled ‘Hangman’s Hymn,’ due out later this year on THE END RECORDS.

The album was recorded at Studio Moopies with engineer Takamichi Osada and the band handling production duties. The album features guest appearances from:

Rob Urbinati (Sacrifice) - Guitar solo on the track “The Master Malice”
Aurielle Gregory (ex-Giant Squid) - Female vocals on the track “The Master Malice”
Tim Conroy (ex-Giant Squid) – Trumpet used/manipulated on various tracks

An mp3 for the song "Death With Dishonour" has been made available for dowload here

In other SIGH news, the band has been invited to play this year's Inferno Festival, which is scheduled to take place April 5-7 at the Rockefeller Music Hall in Oslo, Norway. Other bands scheduled to play include a reunited Immortal, Zyklon, Suffocation and Tiamat.

En gros :
la cover a été dévoilée, "c'est le meilleur album de Sigh à ce jour, on en est super fiers, youpi" (ah tiens donc ), il y'a des invités, un MP3 à télécharger ici et le groupe sera en concert en Norvège au mois d'Avril.

Le morceau passe assez bien, mais bon il est très court et j'attend de voir comment il s'imbrique dans l'album.

En fin de compte l'album que j'ai est pas mal bien que je ne l'ai écouté qu'une seule fois ! Cependant je compte suivre l'actu de Sigh

THE NEW STUDIO ALBUM FROM THE JAPANESE LEGENDS. AN OPUS OF DARK & ECLECTIC BLACKENED HEAVY METAL, SHROUDED IN TRADITIONAL EASTERN INFLUENCES.

Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami & Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in, and Sigh set about recording the masterpiece debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ for Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions, going on to become one of the country’s greatest and most revered metal exports.

With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots. ‘Shiki’ marks the latest chapter in the Sigh legacy and includes some of the band’s heaviest and darkest material for some years; a fine hybrid of at times primitive black metal akin to early influences such as Celtic Frost amid more epic melodic heavy metal riffing and solos. The album also utilises a whole host of instruments to give further texture and dynamics to the compositions and eerie atmosphere, incorporating traditional oriental instruments such as the Shakuhachi & Sinobue flutes.

The word "Shiki" itself has various meanings in Japanese such as four seasons, time to die, conducting an orchestra, ceremony, motivation, colour. The two primary themes for the album are "four seasons" and "time to die". The concept and artwork is based around a traditional Japanese poem, and on ‘Shiki’ Mirai explores how at this stage of life he himself is going through Autumn, with Winter coming soon, and so empathises with the contrasting sentimental feelings from watching cherry blossoms (a symbol of spring) in full bloom.

Joining Mirai and Dr Mikannibal for this release are Frédéric Leclercq of Kreator, plus US drummer extraordinaire, Mike Heller of Fear Factory, along with an appearance by longtime member Satoshi Fujinami on bass. ‘Shiki’ was recorded across multiple studios, and mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert at LSD studios in Germany.
