Groundbreaking Japanese act SIGH have finished the recording of their 7th studio album titled ‘Hangman’s Hymn’ at Studio Moopies with engineer Takamichi Osada. The album, still in the mixing stages, is due out in 2007 on THE END RECORDS. "The End Of Music As We Know It " The End Records started as a small underground Heavy Metal record label in 1998. Then, as today, the concentration was on releasing quality music by the more artistic and talented acts in the genre. Top priority was always music. A lot of hard work went into working closely with the artists, as well as helping the releases obtain the strongest promotion and most extensive distribution possible. The scope of the label has now grown, extending into ambient and gothic styles, but always staying within the dark realms of music. The company has continually expanded and is now divided into various departments. The core of the company is now made up of the following united divisions: - The End Records label (the core of the company) - Infinite Vinyl Series (specializing in limited manufacture of collectible and high-quality vinyl pressings) - Distributed labels for North America (exclusive distribution for a variety of labels of high-quality output) - The Omega Mail-Order (specializing in retail and wholesale distribution of hundreds of labels worldwide)
