Sigh has released a new single titled 'Unputenpu' featuring Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth, marking a collaboration on an upcoming album. The project follows Åkerfeldt's notable absence from public commentary, as highlighted by Jinjer's Tatiana Shmailyuk, who admitted being too intimidated to speak to him.
