Gallows Gallery is an album by the band Sigh. It was released by Candlelight Records originally in 2005.

This is Sigh's first album as a four-piece rather than a trio and their first album which they made a music video for. It's also noted for being their first album with clean vocals rather than black metal styled vocalization. Mirai's vocals are heavily processed through Pro Tools and vocoders.

The song format also changed drastically from previous releases. The songs are shorter now, as Sigh moves more into an Iron Maiden influenced sound.

The Dave Harrow mix of "The Tranquilizer song" is actually a dance techno piece.

The untitled Track 10 is a recording of sounds researched in sonic warfare, created to psychologically harm the listener. The inclusion of this track was rumored to have caused the band to be dropped from the Century Media label.

In 2007, The End Records announced a remastered re-issue of the album with a release date of November 27th, with revamped blue-sky artwork and the extra tracks.
