Description
Original 2021 double album press on black vinyls with gatefold cover
Compilation from the Japanese Metal band. With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles and experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field. However, at it’s core, Sigh has always remained true to it’s roots of old school Metal. Eastern Darkness contains a comprehensive collection of Sigh’s early rare works showing their swift musical evolution as well as the strong utilisation of keyboards in their compositional process throughout. The collection includes the band’s legendary demo tapes, Desolation, and Tragedies, plus their EPs and rarities, as well as contributions to various compilation releases in the mid 1990s. Acknowledging Sigh’s well-known regard for UK legends Venom throughout it’s career, Eastern Darkness also contains the band’s own tribute to the 1980s Black Metal pioneers, in the form of tribute To Hell And Back, originally released on tape in 1995.
