A STELLAR CONCOCTION OF OLD AND NEW TRACKS PERFORMED LIVE BY THE CELEBRATED JAPANESE METAL LEGENDS

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 in to 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 and most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange and 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, and 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 and 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.
