[The_Wanderer]

Can antone tell ma about this band?
I know they are something like a japanese experimental balck metal band.
Please anyone tell me what they play, their best album etc etc.

Anyone?????Please!!!!!

only heard one song. groove laden traditional sounding metal (like twin guitar harmonies, etc.) with cool keyboards or samples of some kind that sound very trippy, and somewhat black metal vocals. very original sounding, i think they would be worth further investigation.

Can't say about their earlier albums, but their latest three (Hail Horror Hail, Scenario IV: Dread Dreams, and Imaginary Sonicscape) are very creative albums... basically fusing thrash metal in with many other styles of music (not metal styles) and creating a real pastiche of sound... it's completely bizarre if you're not used to it... they'll be bangin' along and the song will just STOP for a movie soundtrack style section, then right back into the metal part then STOP....

Quite odd.

Well worth your time.

Sigh are something of an enigma. They're every bit of the sonic mindfuck they're reputed to be, but it's all quite accessible and user friendly. Hooky, warm, melodic...but way out there in left field. It's one of those rare treats, intellectually stimulating music that doesn't require you to rack your brain to 'get' it.

Hail Horror Hail is their best.

Hail Horror Hail, though Imaginary Sonicscape will probably be easier to attain and is also quite brilliant...

Do they resemble Mr. Bungle in any way perhaps ?

 

[Blackspirit]

*Sighing* >P

Ok, this band I like )
Checked out the working links on their site,
and they sound interesting.
Wouldn't call them black-metal though....
But very experimental >P

I really like the weird music they have in the
background with the "classical" instruments... )

I don't think this will become one of my all time
fav's though.... but I think I'll check out more of
this band, so thanks The_Wanderer for bringing
Sigh to my attention )

Yeah, for such a boundary pushing, fuck-the-purists album, Imaginary Sonicscape has some of the most indelible hooks I've heard all year, who can resist the choruses of A Sunset Song, Corpsecry, or Dreamsphere? Return to the chaos!

In a way, but not particularly. Only in the sense that both combine hooks with weirdness. They're much better than MB...
