Style: Orchestral black/thrash
Primary Emotions/Themes: what would happen if Slayer used an orchestra...?
Thoughts: Sigh truly have a unique discography in all of metal. Never in a million years did I see this album coming, yet I should have known that they would do some kind of album out of left field. We go from power metal to blackened thrash with a full blown orchestra, who would have known?
This is probably the most cohesive album that sigh released to this point. The entire album is focused on two things: creating kick ass thrash and pairing that with a full orchestra. The two don't seem like they would work together, but Sigh in their infinite genius find a way to make this work.
This is also one of the shorter albums, but from the intensity of the music that shorter run time is warranted. Out of all the Sigh albums I own this one is probably the most fun to listen to, and unlike most of the other albums there isn't much subtlety or insanity to dig into. This is simply a cool metal album.
