Japanese black metal. Tribute to Venom. Musical contributions by Shane Embury and Danny Lilker. Trumpets. I really don’t have anything else to say about this story.

Japanese experimental black metallers SIGH have issued the following update:

“SIGH are looking for a trumpet player who could contribute the next album. If you play the trumpet or you know somebody who could help us with it, please send us a message. If you can record the trumpet parts at your house and send us them in .wav files, that’ll be perfect! We’re looking forward to hearing from you!”

The End Records has set September 2, 2008 release date for the upcoming SIGH A Tribute to Venom CD.

The six-song tribute to legendary black metal band VENOM features the bass work of Dan Lilker (BRUTAL TRUTH, NUCLEAR ASSAULT) and Shane Embury (NAPALM DEATH, VENOMOUS CONCEPT).

Commented SIGH singer Mirai Kawashima: “We’re excited to have these two guest musicians and friends of SIGH to take part in our tribute to VENOM. Their work has helped make the tracks stand out even more. Dan plays bass on "Countess Bathory" while Shane is on "Witching Hour". It sounds awesome!”

SIGH is preparing to record its eighth full-length album, entitled Scenes from Hell / Tempore Belli / Vanitas. SIGH will work with a real string quartet and some brass players on the CD, which is scheduled for release this fall on The End Records.
