Here, have some experimental avant garde heavy metal from Japan. Sigh has released a new track, “Kaedit Nos Pestis” (in the player above) from their forthcoming 10th studio album, Graveward. Sigh has also released a video for the track “Out of the Grave,” which you can watch below.
Graveward took two and half years to complete and will finally see release on May 4, 2015. Inspired by musician/composer Fabio Frizzi, Graveward pays homage to Italian zombie and Hammer Horror classics and features guest performances from Trivium’s Matthew Heafy, DragonForce‘s Fred Leclercq, Shining’s Niklas Kvarforth, Rotting Christ’s Sakis Tolis, The Meads Of Asphodel’s Metatron, and others with fittingly twisted, grave-robbing cover art by Costin Chioreanu (Ihsahn, At the Gates, Deicide, Ulver, etc.).

About Sigh:
For over two decades, Sigh has been transcending the confines of extreme metal. Forged in 1989, in Tokyo, Japan, the band was initially signed by Euronymous’ infamous Deathlike Silence Records on which they released their debut full-length, Scorn Defeat, in 1993. Sigh went on to release records via various imprints including Cacophonous, Century Media, Baphomet, and The End before making Candlelight Records their label home with the release of 2012’s crushing, critically adored In Somniphobia and this year’s Graveward.
