| This is another amazing album by Sigh. I'm glad the band is no longer affiliated with trendy CM. Thanx redstream. |

| Sigh "Gallow's Gallery" Baphomet redstream.org Sigh is nothing if not unique. Indeed, this is bound to stand as one of the most original metal releases of the year. I wish I could classify it more specifically than "metal" to give you an idea but it's a little difficult. OK, at core you can hear a lot of classic/power metal influences, but that descrip taken on its own is misleading. The vocals are something else entirley, managing to be a tad gritty yet hallucinatorily melodic in a strange way. And the instrumentals, once you get past the stronge-groove melodic heavy metal, bring in odd instrumental elements, like saxophones, etc., sometimes even straying entirely outside the metal genre (one odd interlude comes to mind). Sigh is a band not all will grasp or understand but there's no denying the wealth of talent here. |
