More Info
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 feld. 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 fair.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 infuential debut,
'Scorn Defeat', 'Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022' captures the band in fne
form as they perform a wide collection of old & new tracks covering all the way
from the aforementioned frst album, up until the band's frst Peaceville studio
album, 'Shiki'. With fawless musicianship & accompanied by a stellar audio mix,
'Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022' truly represents the very best of Sigh's
legacy.
