Sigh - Infidel Art [2CD] THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF SIGH'S SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF MASTERFULLY CRAFTED EASTERN ATMOSPHERIC BLACK METAL PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL. NOW ON PEACEVI LLE WITH NEW AUDIO MASTER & ADDITIONAL INSERT WITH INTERVIEW. Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/1990. The genre-classic debut 'Scorn Defeat' followed on Euronymous' Deathlike Silence Productions in 1993 & with each subsequent release Sigh grew 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 whilst maintaining their old school roots as witnessed with the stellar 2022 album 'Shiki'. 2025 also saw Sigh reimagining their 'Hangman's Hymn' album for a release on Peaceville as part of the band's 35th anniversary celebrations in the shape of 'I Saw The World's End: Hangman's Hymn MMXXV'. Following the great reception of 'Scorn Defeat' in the underground & maintaining the same core line-up of Mirai Kawashima Shinichi Ishikawa & Satoshi Fujinami 'Infidel Art' surfaced in 1995 & became a new milestone for the band expanding on the symphonic & classical elements to create something more grandiose & monumental in scale whilst still embracing Sigh's old school metallic influences & dark mysticism for epic tracks such as 'Zombie Terror' & 'Izuna'. Marking thirty years since its original release & kickstarting a string of reissues of Sigh's revered yet hard to find classic early catalogue this edition of 'Infidel Art' contains a new master created by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony featuring a new transfer from the original DAT source. The release also includes a new interview with main-man Mirai Kawashima conducted by Dayal Patterson of Cult Never Dies delving into the history & legacy of the album. This edition of 'Infidel Art' is presented on black vinyl. Tracklist Izuna The Zombie Terror Desolation The Last Elegy Suicidogenic Beyond Centuries Show more
