SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM TO SHOOT SHORT FILM THIS SUMMER Rock Against Rock pioneers SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM, who released their first album for THE END RECORDS titled 'In Glorious Times' to rave reviews last year, are working on a short film to commence production this summer. In a posting online, the band says, "While it may be no secret that what is almost certainly The Last Human Being has been found, rinsed off and made ready for scrutiny, few are aware of the storm of controversy surrounding its interpretation by the scientific community, its treatment, its effect on nervous persons, and its future. In our continuing commitment to excavating the hidden present, the Museum is once again joining forces with director Adam Feinstein ('Helpless Corpses Enactment') to expose the limits of reason by poking at something with a stick. Stand back!" Watch the video for 'Helpless Corpses Enactment' here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ELyco68w5ks The band has scheduled a one-off show next week in San Francisco with label mates Estradasphere. SLEEPYTIME GORILLA MUSEUM 02/16/08 Sat @ Great American Music Hall - San Francisco, CA w/ Estradasphere The band is planning a North American tour in September and October.

Often labeled as a black metal band, SIGH’s music has been and continues to be inspired by varied styles such as black metal, 80s thrash heavy metal, classical, jazz, 60s/70s rock and so on. Following the release of a few demos and the Wild Rags’ 7” Ep Requiem For Fools in the early 90s, the band released their debut album,Scorn Defeat, on Voices of Wonder in 1993. SIGH then signed with England’s Cacophonous Records in 1995, releasing several albums,most notably 1997’s brilliant Hail Horror Hail. As SIGH headed into the new millennium they signed to Century Media Records and released 2001’s Imaginary Sonicscape, a dynamic meshing of black metal, thrashing riffs and a monster psychedelic atmosphere In 2005 the band released Gallows Gallery (Baphomet/Season of Mist Records), a spirited and sonically unique barrage of mesmerizing melodies and creative passages. This past summer the band released their seventh album titled Hangman's Hymn (on THE END RECORDS worldwide), an album that leader Mirai Kawashima describes as “thrash-metal-meets-German-symphonies! Fast, heavy, bombastic and majestic!’ Now just two years after the initial release of Gallows Gallery, an album that Kawashima has said many times in interviews showcased a poor, muffled production that was beyond their control, the album is being reissued on THE END RECORDS with a newly remastered production (by James Murphyof Death/Testment fame), different artwork and numerous bonus tracks. Kawashima is pleased with the results, excited that Gallows Gallery finally sounds like the record they has originally intended to release. Hail Gallows Gallery! What critics say about Sigh's 'Gallows Gallery'... "For those of you who enjoy the Post-Black movement and like a bit of imagination mixed in with your Metal, this album and this band are for you." - METAL OBSERVER "A pleasant effort from musicians refusing to stop their development!" - PROG-ARCHIVES "SIGH play boundless music...a fantastically groovy record...the music is very epic and rousing in feeling." - METAL INVADER "...The music is fantastically energetic, psychedelic and exotic." - CHRONICLES OF CHAOS "...The group's sixth album streamlines its influences into catchy, driving, progressive-tinged hard rock tunes ...high quality metal from a band that moves ever forward." - HIGHBIAS.COM Discography Scorn Defeat (1993, Voices of Wonder) Infidel Art (1995, Cacophonous) Ghastly Funeral Theatre (1996, Cacophonous) Hail Horror Hail (1997, Cacophonous) Scenario IV: Dread Dreams (1999, Cacophonous) Imaginary Sonicscape (2001, Century Media) Gallows Gallery (2005, Baphomet) Hangman’s Hymn (2006, The End) Gallows Gallery (2007, The End) reissue :More: Official Sigh website: http://sigh.gospel-virus.net/ Official Myspace.com site: http://www.myspace.com/sighmirai | The End Records | The End Of Music As We Know It | www.theendrecords.com | | Contact: Adrian Bromley | Tel: 646 240 4098 | pr@theendrecords.com |

THE END RECORDS has signed North Carolina's down tempo, atmospheric rock band GIANT. The band's as-yet-untitled debut album for THE END RECORDS will be released later on this year. About the signing, guitarist Isaac Jones comments, "We are very excited to be releasing brand new music with The End Records. We could not be more stoked for what lies ahead. Recording on the new full length begins in late January, so keep your eyes peeled, we are definitely coming your way." The quartet - whose recent release was the split 12" with Rhode Island's TIDES on Level Plane Records - have continued to tour North America extensively since their inception, most recently as the opening slot for fellow statesmen and friends Between the Buried and Me... What the press are saying: "...expertly bleak and ominous atmosphere...the delivery never loses steam or gets boring even within tracks that top 12 to 14 minutes." -Aversiononline.com "...downcast, gloomy brand of post-metal...downright enthralling..." - MetalReview.com. Biography: Birthed in early 2005, Giant is Derrick Wells, Isaac Jones, Zac Jones and Kyle Whisenant. Giant is collectively a tool to express and explore specific moods and stories, as well as a platform for socio-political critique.

Calling All Bands! The End Records is starting to focus more attention on small bands in order to support the ever creative underground. We would like to create a unique place within the label's network where all musical acts can post their band's information/myspace link and praise, comment and critique one another. Hopefully this will grow into a place where ideas are shared and, more importantly, great music is made and discovered. We have set up a space on The End Record's forum ("Post your DEMO here" - http://www.theendrecords.com/forum/) for this exact purpose. In addition to a plethora of our own bands moderating their forums from the same location, this one is dedicated to and run by the members who contribute their demos and opinions. Consider adding what you've created and expose it to The End family and our vibrant community. The only guideline: be open minded. As reflected in The End Record's roster, we hope a very eclectic mix of music expression will emerge within this forum space. Visit to promote and visit to discover – this should be an exciting time. Best of luck and we await your contribution!

Anyone who went, or is going to Ozzfest might find this interesting. Or if you are just a Lordi fan. Says frontman MR. LORDI: "So far everythings been great! The crowds seem to be in good spirits and so have we. It's been really hot for us latex-wearing Northern Scandinavians for sure and it's only gonna get hotter..but we like it hotter than Hell!" In separate reviews of the July 12th, 2007 kick-off show at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Seattle, The Seattle Times newspaper wrote, "The majority of the crowd migrated to the main stage, where all the members of Lordi were dressed like monsters mummies and vampires and an "alien man beast," to be specific and engaging in an incredible kabuki-esque theater performance, set to a soundtrack befitting the throes of Hell," while the Seattle Post Intelligencer said LORDI's show was "a set of theatrical and slightly cartoonish horror metal replete with fireworks, giant sparklers." The band will have a CD autograph signing session after their set at the FYE booth on each tour stop during OZZFEST 2007. OZZFEST 2007 continues till the end of August so be sure to check if and when they are coming to your town!
