Style: avant-garde black metal
Primary Emotions/Themes: everything you hear on this album is intended, any dissonance is the fault of the listener, not of the band
Thoughts: Sigh has to be one of the strangest bands on the planet. They have gone through several periods of various levels of experimentation, and perhaps none more so experimental than this album right here.
I don't know if experimental is the right word, the way that this album unfolds feels more like insanity than anything. There is actual music on here mind you, but the way that these tracks unfold is seemingly random at points. Things will just s t o p mid riff and then pivot to something completely different, even different genre's at points (listen to Black Curse).
I've been listening to Sigh since this album came out and I've come to enjoy it with time. It's quirks are entertaining to play for people who are uninitiated and for those acclimated this stands as a period in the bands history where they truly were doing their own thing.
