Sigh announce new album

Extreme metal exhibitionists Sigh are set to unleash their ninth studio album on March 13th through Candelight Records. Entitled In 'Somniphobia,' the 11 track opus features guest appearances from Massacre's Kam Lee and Meads Of Asphodel's Metatron as well as cover illustration by renowned artist Eliran Kantor (Atheist, Testament).

Founded in 1990 in Tokyo, Japan, Sigh is known for their nontraditional approach to metal and music in general and such is the case with their latest endeavor. Their most musically varied and plainly enthralling recording to date In 'Somniphobia' incorporates everything from heavy metal, classical, jazz, traditional Indian music, Stockhausen, and Xenakis.

Commented vocalist/keyboardist Mirai Kawashima: "This is your sonic nightmare. This is the music that lies somewhere between your reality and imagination. This is the heaviest, scariest, craziest and by far the best album by Sigh in every aspect. Be sure to smoke first then listen to this with headphones. Bad trip guaranteed."
