PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989\/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami \u0026amp; Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in to the band, \u0026amp; Kazuki removed from the line-up. It was following this shift that the band set about recording the masterpiece debut ‘Scorn Defeat’, going on to become one of the country’s greatest \u0026amp; most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange \u0026amp; the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘Scorn Defeat’ was originally released in 1993 after the band had signed to Mayhem guitarist Euronymous’ emerging Deathlike Silence Productions, with the album eventually surfacing following his death (\u0026amp; also dedicated in his honour). With a deep appreciation for the black metal masters of the 80’s such as Celtic Frost \u0026amp; Venom, Sigh would also masterfully weave intricate keyboard textures \u0026amp; skilled piano composition courtesy of Mirai Kawashima among the Frostfuelled riffing to create an atmospherically distinctive \u0026amp; dark sound. The lyrical content was also unusual for the time, incorporating strong elements of occultism \u0026amp; eastern mysticism to differentiate them somewhat from their Scandinavian peers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vinyl edition of ‘Scorn Defeat’ is presented with the original album cover artwork, on black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ORCHARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47530731831514,"sku":"SIGH-SCORN-DEFEAT-LP-9016","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/image_882afb27-d76c-402f-8171-255340b5673f.jpg?v=1769195155","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/sigh-scorn-defeat-lp","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
