Sigh's "Shiki" isn't avant-garde metal

Sigh's "Shiki" album has seen them dropping the vast majority of the consciously weird stuff they'd included on many of their more recent efforts & sits predominantly in more conventional progressive metal territory. Therefore, I'd like to see it removed from the Avant-Garde Metal genre & remain solely under the Progressive Metal genre.

This nomination has been posted in the Hall of Judgement.

I decided to give that album some listening and a review to further push my progressive metal boundaries into more experimental and extreme territory. I would say this is kind of like the Eastern oriental equivalent to Enslaved's recent material. There's barely any weird avant-garde aspects as far as I can hear. So I agree with you here, Daniel, and will definitely give your Hall entry a YES vote.
