SIGH Eastern Darkness Vinyl LP

Before Sigh became the avant-garde black metal institution they are now, they were doing something equally strange, playing raw, ferocious black metal in early 1990s Japan at a time when almost nobody else was. Eastern Darkness collects those early recordings, and they hit harder than you'd expect.

This 2021 compilation pulls together demo and early material that shaped one of the most singular bands to ever come out of the Japanese underground. It's a document of a band finding its footing while already ahead of its time, and the 2022 vinyl reissue gives it the weight it deserves. If you came to Sigh through their later experimental work, this is the dark origin story. If you've been here since the beginning, you already know.
