PRESENTED ON MARBLE VINYL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989\/1990. The genre-classic debut ˜Scorn Defeat™ followed on Euronymous™ Deathlike Silence Productions in 1993 \u0026amp; with each subsequent release, Sigh grew 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 whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed with the stellar 2022 album, ˜Shiki™.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs the band reaches the milestone of thirty-five years of existence, it was also time to re-visit their 2007 opus, ˜Hangman™s Hymn™. A compositional powerhouse in itself, the title was notably Sigh™s first concept album; a mix\u003cbr\u003e\nof fast thrash metal from the 80™s such as Wehrmacht, Sarcofago, Repulsion \u0026amp; classical music - especially German symphonies. However, �Hangman™s Hymn� was always perceived to be not fully up to the band™s own standards \u0026amp; expectations in its execution \u0026amp; production \u0026amp; so main-man Mirai Kawashima set about to finally do justice to this at times overlooked masterpiece of intricate songwriting, by making a full re-recording with the current Sigh sound \u0026amp; delivery, under the title of I Saw The World™s End “ Hangman™s Hymn MMXXV�.\u003cbr\u003e\nMirai himself explains the background to the project:\u003cbr\u003e\nHangman™s Hymn�, which was released in 2007, is one of my best compositions of my whole career, but it does not necessarily mean that this is my favourite Sigh album. The excessively monotonous drumming must be the biggest issue. The guitars are sloppy. The production is far from the best. And my orchestrations \u0026amp; vocals could\u003cbr\u003e\nhave been much better. So what if we re-record this with better musicians \u0026amp; today™s production? The idea was\u003cbr\u003e\nalways in my head \u0026amp; finally the time has come to make it happen. I do know that re-recording can be the double-edged sword. Scorn Defeat� has some flaws. So does Imaginary Sonicscape� . But I will never ever rerecord those albums as I am sure that it would lose their magic. But Hangman™s Hymn� is an exception. You can easily tell what I mean if you listen to this completely re-recorded version�.\u003cbr\u003e\nWith Nozomu Wakai on guitar \u0026amp; the returning Mike Heller on drums, I Saw The World™s End “ Hangman™s Hymn MMXXV� is by far the fiercest, most brutal \u0026amp; the most symphonic Sigh album to date, with the added flawless delivery of the new members \u0026amp; new orchestration with real orchestral instruments. Finally, the production by Lasse Lammert also brings a whole other dimension to the album.
