This is THE album!!! The best album of the year so far (and one of the best black albums ever) comes from Japan. Sigh's new endeavour sounds like nothing we've heard before and yet it incorporates most of the elements of the band's previous albums. Imagine a progressive/psychedelic/rock band from the '70s experimenting with black metal, after a huge dose of drugs. The analogue/dirty/raw production and the constant use of trombones and saxophone gives the feeling of a '70s ''black metal'' band. It also sounds like a soundtrack from an old cult japanese horror movie. A MUST-HAVE ALBUM!

ReplyDeleteHey
ReplyDeleteThe download doesn't work, and given the amazing review I was hoping to hear this one.
But on a happier note, this is by far the greatest music blog in the world. Carach Angren! Throes Of Dawn! In Mourning! My gosh, they're awesome!
Thanks very much, and keep up the good work.
