Sigh announce new album ‘Heir To Despair’

SIGH have announced a new album!

The new album, titled Heir To Despair, is the eleventh album from the Japanese band and is scheduled to be released in November this year.

The upcoming album was mixed by Canadian engineer Phil Anderson and mastered by Maor Appelbaum [FAITH NO MORE, YES etc] and was inspired by crazy progressive bands like BRAINTICKET, EMBRYO, AGITATION FREE, BETWEEN etc.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released the first single from the upcoming record, titled Homo Homini Lupus. The new song features guest vocals from Phil Anselmo and speaking about the track, vocalist Mirai Kawashima says, “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 own wolves inside. It is a great honor for us to finally have him [Phil Anselmo] on our album! He added a great atmosphere to the song with his very deep voices! It should be VERY easy for you to tell which parts were sung by Phil.”
