Our Top 10 Kenny Wayne Shepherd Songs list celebrates the work of one of the most important blues-rock guitarists to emerge during the 1990s. Kenny Wayne Shepherd was born on June 12, 1977, in Shreveport, Louisiana, and grew up surrounded by the musical traditions of the American South. Shepherd began playing guitar at an early age and encountered Stevie Ray Vaughan when he was seven. When we interviewed Kenny Wayne Shepherd, that meeting came up early in our conversation about the musicians who inspired him.

THE FIRST SINGLE TO BE TAKEN FROM THE NEW ALBUM GOH-KA – SET FOR RELEASE ON PEACEVILLE ON SEPTEMBER 4^th

Japanese metal pioneers Sigh are back with ‘Unputenpu’, the first single to be taken from their upcoming new studio album ‘Goh-ka’, alongside a stunning new music video created by Costin Chioreanu.

Speaking about the new track, frontman and Sigh mastermind Mirai Kawashima said:

“Honestly, I have no idea at all how the song sounds to other people. Shuffle is the world-widely used rhythm and Japan is no exception. I’ve been using this rhythm in the songs like “Shikigami”, “Ecstatic Transformation”, and “Midnight Sun” but I guess I have completed my own Japanese style on “Unputenpu”. The guitar lead by Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth definitely gives another boost to the song.”

“Unputenpu expresses the idea that whether a person is blessed with good fortune or struck by misfortune is determined by God’s will, the will of heaven, fate or something totally beyond our control and we cannot do anything to change it. Anyone could die today or lose somebody you love. Life can be cruel any time. The song is based on my personal experience but I don’t want to talk about the details…”

Goh-Ka is a new highlight of atmosphere, technical mastery, and meticulously arranged epics of metallic grandeur. Main-man Mirai Kawashima notes this as being as equally personal an album as ‘Shiki’, both musically and lyrically.

From a musical perspective, if you were to place the main ingredients of Celtic Frost, Voivod, Black Sabbath, horror movies and Japan into a cauldron and stir it, you will get ‘Goh-ka’. Numerous additional spices such as psychedelic rock, prog rock and classical music are also evident over the album’s close to one-hour duration.

The album title ‘Goh-ka’ has a triple meaning, being: 業火 infernal fire scorching sinners, 劫火 a huge fire that burns down the world at the end of time, and 業果 karma. The primary theme permeating the album is Kuso-zu; a series of Buddhist paintings or illustrations depicting the nine stages of a human body’s decomposition after death, created to encourage meditation on the impermanence of life, the inevitability of death, and the detachment from physical beauty and worldly attachment.

It openly shows the harsh reality that no matter how beautiful you are, you’ll be dead and rot sooner or later. And Kuso-shi is a poem based on these paintings. The artworks on the cover and in the booklet of ‘Goh-ka’ are therefore Kuso-zu themselves.

Japanese metal pioneers Sigh formed in 1989/1990. Their genre-classic Black Metal debut Scorn Defeat arrived in 1993, and with a subsequent journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & ideas throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed on the 2022 album (and first for Peaceville Records), Shiki. This was followed by the remaking of their Hangman’s Hymn album as part of the band’s 35th anniversary celebrations, in the shape of I Saw the World’s End: Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV (2025).
