The Latest From Bandung Psych Masters Sigmun Is an Ode to the Dark Manga 'Berserk'
It's a match made in Midland. The latest single from the Bandung psych-rock quartet Sigmun is an intense and freaky ode to world of Japanese manga artist Kentaro Miura’s dark fantasy epic "Berserk." The manga—and two anime series—takes place in the kingdom of Midland, a world full of dragons, monsters, swords, and some of the weirdest and wildest stories to ever break out of a Dungeons and Dragon style world.
It's all the perfect inspiration for a band like Sigmun, psych rock revivalists who know their way around a fretboard and a comic shop. The song, titled "Behelit," is a direct reference to this creepy, mysterious egg of unknown supernatural origin that got the face of a human and is also a doorway to the Astral World. Yeah. Told you "Berserk" was pretty weird.
"Behelit," is a bit of a departure from the earlier, more spacey sound featured on Sigmun's debut album Crimson Eyes. Here, the band is going for a more straight-forward sound complete with chaotic guitar solos and, of course, Haikal Azizi's iconic wail.
So violence, dragons, psych rock, mysterious eggs to another world, could anything make this release even more perfect than it already is? How about timing the release so it hit our speakers in time for the "super blue blood moon"? Yup. That would do it.
