Pain Of Salvation Posts New Music Video Online

Swedish progressive metal veterans Pain Of Salvation has posted a new music video online for the song, "Accelerator." You can check it out below. The song comes from the band's forthcoming new album, "Panther," which is set to be released on August 28th through InsideOut Music.

Pain of Salvation’s Daniel Gildenlöw checked in with the following comment about the song/video:

"It has been brilliant to work with Lars for a video, after all these years of photographing. We think alike and always have a blast when we work together. We had three very long days of shooting it, only Lars and us in the band in Skjulstahallen, a large gymnastics hall kindly provided by IKEG. As per usual, I found myself in weird situations, like making high flips and jumps over Lars' head. We are very happy with this video and think it's the perfect kickoff for the 'Panther' album."

Sigh To Re-Release Debut Album

Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami & Kazuki Ozeki. Their masterful debut "Scorn Defeat" became one of the country’s greatest and most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field. However, at its core, Sigh has always remained true to its roots of old school metal. With a deep appreciation for the black metal masters of the 80s such as Celtic Frost and Venom, Sigh would weave intricate keyboard textures and skilled piano composition courtesy of Mirai Kawashima among the Frost-fuelled riffing to create an atmospherically distinctive and dark sound. The lyrical content was also unusual for the time, incorporating strong elements of occultism and eastern mysticism to differentiate them somewhat from their Scandinavian peers.

"Scorn Defeat" was originally released in 1993 after the band had signed to Mayhem guitarist Euronymous’ emerging Deathlike Silence Productions, with the album eventually surfacing following his death (& also dedicated in his honour).

Mirai Kawashima, Sigh mainman comments: "'Scorn Defeat' is a magical album. Now we are more mature musicians with much more knowledge about music and better playing ability, but (or maybe I should say "therefore") if we re-recorded it now, the album wouldn't sound any better, as all the magic would be lost. What delights me the most is that the album we recorded almost 30 years ago is still loved and being newly re-released like this, which we never expected back then. This special release makes me proud and makes my life as a musician something meaningful."

The album will be released as a special 2-cd edition of the 1993 genre classic debut of eastern darkness from Japan’s black metal purveyors. Includes bonus rare demo & rough mix tracks & full live show, plus booklet interview with mainman Mirai Kawashima; and also will be available as a single LP on 180g white vinyl and digitally. Peaceville will also release a special collection of the band’s earliest works from their formative years, including demos & rarities, more details to follow.
