captainfez Like OM with a more reliable release schedule. Really, really good. Favorite track: Ikebana.

Paul Bareham Who needs other band members when you can sound like this? Relentless.

sirwyllt IMMENSE sounding. I am swept away on columns of fire when I listen to this album. The tones hit you like a wall of magma.

stage_crew My dad likes Converge Favorite track: Converge (Live at Remlinger Farms '23).

alistaircarrigan so much gizzard :p Favorite track: I'm In Your Mind (Live at Remlinger Farms '23).

greenvolt best mind fuzz suite ever Favorite track: I'm Not In Your Mind (Live at Remlinger Farms '23).

Cassiopiea music should not be this much fun Favorite track: Death With Dishonor.

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) I Saw The World End (Hangman's Hymn MMXXV) a tout pour plaire. Cette remise au goût du jour de Hangman's Hymn - Musikalische Exequien est déjà un appel à écouter deux fois de suite ce monument de Sigh — il faut bien ça pour en apprécier les différences. Ensuite, la production est plus claire : au lieu de se faire brutaliser par l'orchestre, on l'observe avec l'œil du prince. Si le chants et la batterie (si intense !) sont éclatants, la symphonie est plus kitsch, donnant un vrai théâtre bizarre ! Favorite track: The Memories As A Sinner.

Ippocalyptica You might already own the original 2007 release of the zany, avant-garde, and wonderful Hangman’s Hymn, and be thinking to yourself, “Why would I need a 2025 re-recording of Sigh’s second or first-best album? How different can it be?” Friends, let me assure you that this is not merely a more “modern” sounding and unnecessary remaster; no, this features much better drumming, sharper fretwork, and yes, richer and clearer production values that lend much-deserved oomph. Better than the original!

rvss.eel I love Sigh and was disappointed to see this as the next release. Hangman's Hymn is already amazing. But, wow, this is good, and I'm listening to it like it's totally new. The drums hit harder and faster, the strings pack much more of a punch. And the insanity, already present in the original, hasn't been dimmed at all, only ramped up. It still sounds like a mad conductor on vocals, leading his band through joyous hell. I'm even breaking my own rule here to say...

This is my #2 album of 2025. Favorite track: Salvation In Flame.
