Sigh - Heir To Despair CD

In the late ’80s, Japan’s Sigh were known as a curious aberration, one of only a handful of bands outside of Scandinavia to have partaken in black metal’s second wave. Yet, despite their historic significance, Sigh never felt as if really belonging to that scene. Inhabiting a bubble of their own and uninhibited by expectations, Mirai Kawashima and his cohorts toyed with black metal’s symbolism and genre markers, meshed them with a cornucopia of elements from outside the genre, and created their own mangled stream of consciousness. - Popmatters
