Hangman's Hymn: Musikalische Exequien is an album by the Japanese heavy metal band Sigh. It is their first album for The End Records. Audio samples on the The End website suggest that Sigh have kept their clean vocals style as shown on their previous album as well as returned to a black metal styled vocalization.

Sigh's lead singer Mirai Kawashima has described the style of the music as a "German thrash-metal-meets-symphonies" style. The album sounds more akin to black metal than the band's previous two releases, with far more added symphonic elements.

In June 2006, a message from Kawashima was posted on the Slaughter Garden, asking for vocal help with two parts of the album; he wanted volunteers singing lyrics in Latin to send him audio files so that he could build up an epic chorus.

Samples from the track "Me-Devil" are featured on the Global Metal trailer.
