PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL.<\/p>\n<p>Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989\/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami &amp; Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in to the band, &amp; Kazuki removed from the line-up. It was following this shift that the band set about recording the masterpiece debut \u2018Scorn Defeat\u2019, going on to become one of the country\u2019s greatest &amp; most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange &amp; the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles &amp; experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field. However, at its core, Sigh has always remained true to its roots of old school metal.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Scorn Defeat\u2019 was originally released in 1993 after the band had signed to Mayhem guitarist Euronymous\u2019 emerging Deathlike Silence Productions, with the album eventually surfacing following his death (&amp; also dedicated in his honour). With a deep appreciation for the black metal masters of the 80\u2019s such as Celtic Frost &amp; Venom, Sigh would also masterfully weave intricate keyboard textures &amp; skilled piano composition courtesy of Mirai Kawashima among the Frostfuelled riffing to create an atmospherically distinctive &amp; dark sound. The lyrical content was also unusual for the time, incorporating strong elements of occultism &amp; eastern mysticism to differentiate them somewhat from their Scandinavian peers.<\/p>\n<p>Tracklist:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"ng-star-inserted\">1.
