A STELLAR CONCOCTION OF OLD & NEW TRACKS PERFORMED LIVE BY THE CELEBRATED JAPANESE METAL LEGENDS. PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL.
Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami & Kazuki Ozeki.
Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought into the band. It was following this shift that Sigh set about recording the masterpiece debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ for the then-Mayhem guitarist Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions, going on to become one of the country’s greatest & most revered metal exports.
With a journey through the strange & the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & 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 & 2022’s ‘Shiki’ album represented a new high point for the band, encapsulating all that was endearing about Sigh, with a perfect mix of styles & injection of eastern flair.
With a title referencing the band’s original underground live release ‘The Eastern Force Of Evil’ released back in 1997, this new performance captured recently in Japan features the line-up of founder & mainman Mirai Kawashima on bass/vocals, Dr. Mikannibal on vocals/saxophone, Nozomu Wakai on guitar & Takeo Shimoda on drums.
Following swiftly on the back of the release of the highly acclaimed ‘Shiki’ album & coming in a year which also marks 30 years since Sigh’s highly influential debut, ‘Scorn Defeat’, ‘Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022’ captures the band in fine form as they perform a wide collection of old & new tracks covering all the way from the first album, up until the band’s first Peaceville studio album, ‘Shiki’. With flawless musicianship & accompanied by a stellar audio mix, ‘Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022’ truly represents the very best of Sigh’s legacy.
This edition of ‘Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022’ is presented on vinyl format with printed inner sleeve.
