Heir to Despair

by Sigh

Heir to Despair cover art

The veteran Japanese experimental metal band continues their utterly bizarre, highly theatrical evolution on their eleventh studio album. The record wildly pivots from heavily orchestrated black metal into dizzying 70s progressive rock, traditional Japanese folk melodies, and strange electronic pop interludes. It notably features guest vocal contributions from Pantera frontman Phil Anselmo, standing as a brilliantly unhinged masterpiece of avant-garde composition.
