Topic: Sigh (band)


In the News (Wed 30 Dec 09)

  
  Sigh - Satan Stole My Teddybear
While Sigh quickly went about throwing everything but the kitchen sink into their later works, Scorn Defeat is a competent and reasonably enjoyable effort for a band still accustomed to presenting a more known style of dark metal.
Sigh has shown that deep within their little dark hearts lies the aspiration to be a progressive rock band.
Although Sigh's warning on Hail Horror Hail suggests that those who don't understand the sounds of their music are ill-equipped to understand it, I'm willing to step forth and proclaim to the world that Scenario IV: Dread Dreams isn't exactly the best piece of work in the band's catalogue.

In a single song the band jump rails from mathematical noisecore to relaxed melody, from complex jazz-metal to epic moments of emotive post-hardcore, and regularly interjecting with electronics and ambience.
Finalising their line-up towards the end of 2003, The Final Sigh wasted no time in establishing themselves as a formidable force on the underground scene, releasing three demos and a self-released EP.

 THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - SIGH - Imaginary Sonicscape
Of course this explanation does them no justice, as all truly progressive bands can only be heard, not expressed in words.
One would think that there would have to be at least four band members to handle all the instruments.
Mirai Kawashima deals with most of the vocals, bass guitar and keys, so there’s obviously some overdubbing in the studio and it would be interesting to see their live show, as SIGH have built up a reputation really rock on stage.

I was able to get his thoughts on the tour and the band's latest album, "Imaginary Sonicscape", which follows in the Japanese band's left-of-centre tradition, and should leave no fan of the original and innovative un-mindfucked.
Also, considering this was the second time I spoke to Mirai, asking him abbreviated versions the same questions (as the tape of our first conversation was rendered indecipherable for some odd reason...), I was especially appreciative of his taking time out to answer all of my obsessive "fan-boy" ranting and raving.
Sigh are truly an entity of their own, and this was a great opportunity to discover more about the former Black Metal (their debut album "Scorn Defeat" was released on Euronymous' DSP label "back in the day") outfit's classic past and exciting future.

I rarely meet someone who has heard of Sigh which is a shame because they are one of the most talented, creative, and original bands ive ever heard.

 HIGH BIAS -- Sigh
Unfortunately, Euronymous was stabbed to death by a bandmate before the ink was dry on the contract, leaving Sigh in the lurch.
The band's schizophrenic tendencies really begin to show on the second track, "Scarlet Dream." Drummer Satoshi keeps the rhythm funky in a Led Zeppelin/John Bonham sort of way, and a vocoder makes its presence known with some unsettling call-and-response vocals.
The lyrics are just as obsessed with death as nearly every other song, but the dark sentiments share the arrangements with orchestral bridges, groovy rhythms, electric piano solos, Moog synth ripples, melodic guitars, samples of stereo needles stuck in the vinyl groove, a surprising amount of synthesized bass and a large variety of vocal processors.
