Masterfully crafted Eastern atmospheric Black Metal.
Featuring the line-up of Mirai Kawashima, Shinichi Ishikawa, and Satoshi Fujinami, Sigh created arguably their darkest work to date with third album ‘Hail Horror Hail’ in 1997; an epic of nightmare-inducing soundscapes and lyrics concerning topics such as murder and mortality. With at times more melodic compositions compared to its predecessors and a more traditionally metallic experience than some of the material witnessed on the cult ‘Ghastly Funeral Theatre’ EP released not long before, Sigh continued to embrace deeply atmospheric and symphonic elements, along with what was now becoming an increasingly experimental added dimension to their art, in creating this at times unnerving horror masterpiece.
Continuing with Peaceville’s re-issues of Sigh’s classic early (and, until now, hard to find) works, this edition of ‘Hail Horror Hail’ 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 bonus disc containing rough mixes of album tracks, plus other rarities, along with a new interview with main-man Mirai Kawashima conducted by Dayal Patterson of Cult Never Dies, with his thoughts and reflections on the album, the recording process, and the influences surrounding its creation.
