PRESENTED ON BLACK VINYL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989\/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami \u0026amp; Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in to the band, \u0026amp; Kazuki removed from the line-up. It was following this shift that the band set about recording the masterpiece debut 'Scorn Defeat', going on to become one of the country's greatest \u0026amp; most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange \u0026amp; the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Scorn Defeat' was originally released in 1993 after the band had signed to Mayhem guitarist Euronymous' emerging Deathlike Silence Productions, with the album eventually surfacing following his death (\u0026amp; also dedicated in his honour). With a deep appreciation for the black metal masters of the 80's such as Celtic Frost \u0026amp; Venom, Sigh would also masterfully weave intricate keyboard textures \u0026amp; skilled piano composition courtesy of Mirai Kawashima among the Frostfuelled riffing to create an atmospherically distinctive \u0026amp; dark sound. The lyrical content was also unusual for the time, incorporating strong elements of occultism \u0026amp; eastern mysticism to differentiate them somewhat from their Scandinavian peers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vinyl edition of 'Scorn Defeat' is presented with the original album cover artwork, on black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist\u003cbr\u003eA Victory Of Dakini\u003cbr\u003eThe Knell\u003cbr\u003eAt My Funeral\u003cbr\u003eGundali\u003cbr\u003eReady For The Final War\u003cbr\u003eWeakness Within\u003cbr\u003eTaste Defeat\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sigh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62531848569162,"sku":"801056829016","price":8.09,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1049\/2549\/5626\/files\/4440559-3414055.jpg?v=1782361708","url":"https:\/\/goldenspiraluk.com\/products\/scorn-defeat-lp","provider":"Golden Spiral Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
