SIGH ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM
Written by Malcolm Dome on September 28, 2018
Sigh, the Japanese avant garde metal band, are to release their 11th studio album on November 16 through Candlelight Records.
Titled ‘Heir To Despair’, it sees Sigh going in heavy, psychedelic direction. One track, ‘Homo Homini Lupus’, features a guest appearance from Phil Anselmo. Comments vocalist Mirai Kawashima: “‘Homo Homini Lupus’ is one of the fastest and the simplest tracks on ‘Heir To Despair’. Don’t expect other songs to sound like this. ‘Homo Homini Lupus’ means ‘Man is wolf to man’ in Latin. Thomas Hobbes referred to this verb to describe how men would act in the state of nature before we were civilized. The world shown in ‘The Walking Dead’ series should be the best example of what we truly are. Men become wolves, or should I say men are wolves in their real nature. Look what our ancestors did during the wartime! Look what our ancestors did during famine! We have our own wolves inside.”
