When Sigh mainman Mirai Kawashima offered to do a series of blogs from the studio where the band is recording their new album, Scenes from Hell, it was an opportunity too cool for us to pass up. Below find Mirai’s latest report; here are links to his previous entries:

Hello everybody. This is not a studio report actually.
Finally, here we reveal the cover artwork for our eighth studio album, Scenes from Hell. It was designed by Eliran Kantor (Testament, Mekong Delta, Gwar, etc). We’re truly proud of the artwork. This is the perfect descrition of what the album is about – namely War, Hell and Death!
The End Records has set January 19, 2010 release date for this album.
As reported before, it features a real string quartet and real orchestral instruments such as trumpet, trombone, french horn, tuba, flute, clarinet and so on, and it turned out to be the perfect score to the scenes from hell. We can assure you that this is by far the most grandiose and powerful album by Sigh.
Also, the album features the great aural cooperations from David Tibet (Current 93) and Kam Lee.
The track listing for the effort is as follows:
- Prelude to the Oracle
- L’art de Mourir
- The Soul Grave
- The Red Funeral
- The Summer Funeral
- Musica in Tempora Belli
- Vanitas
- Scenes from Hell
-MK

Daamn. That’s some seriously impressive artwork.
hah I just realized I said almost exactly what you did…
That’s some kick ass artwork! Swiggity sweet!
Awesome. The Destro should be taking notes.
Can’t wait for this release. It’s good to see this site praising a band that actually deserves it.
I don’t know much about these guys…never really listened to them, not sure why. They get a lot of hype and it seems like it is deserved. Might have to check this album out, whats a good one to listen to for starters? Also this artwork is unreal.
“Imaginary Sonicscapes” is a fucking masterpiece, and The End just did a sweet re-issue earlier this year…
wow. that is seriously fantastic artwork.
That’s the best album cover I’ve ever seen.
Sigh always have some awesome artwork but this is probably the best. January is so far away
awwwwwwwwwwwesome. best artwork for a metal album i’ve seen in ages!
Ive not really heard much of this band but that is some fucking impressive artwork, probably the best ive seen this year.
infernal….
That album cover is fucking metal… might even be better than the Heaven & Hell cover.
So excited
Great art I can’t wait for this album.
