This is how you mix the heaviness and darkness of black metal with the more experimental and orchestral elements of progressive metal. Sigh puts on an hour-long festival of darkness that is so addictive I had this on repeat a few times. It's crushing black metal with some power metal solos springled throughout, held together by absolutely manic vocals.
Metal fans should all be familiar wit Sigh, an unpredictable Japanese outfit that defies most genre tags. Hymn is probably their most traditionally accessible, and thus a great place in their discography to begin your acquaintance with these freaks. From here, I'd tackle their more avant-garde releases, Infidel Art and Imaginary Sonicscape. Then it's on to their crazy, drunken opus, 2012's In Somniphobia.
