Both SIGH Releases will be available at the same time, so combined shipping will apply for pre-orders!
SIGH (Jpn): Infidel Art - Official Triple Gatefold 3-LP set (Crypt 05)
For the first time on vinyl "Infidel Art", the sophomore masterpiece, from Japan's leading extreme metal export: SIGH! Over two hours of cult, epic Far East black metal on three 180 gram heavy vinyl LPs, strictly limited to a one time only pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies - 200 of which will be black vinyl and 300 of which will be light emerald green vinyl. These killer slabs of wax come housed in a 350 gram, reverse board printed, triple-gatefold jacket featuring the entire, un-edited Ukiyo-e triptych illustration from Ichiryusai Hiroshige across the 3 outer panels. To further retain the overall aesthetic, all copies come with a Japanese style Obi strip.
As we always pride ourselves in using the original cover art for our releases, in this case we may have outdone ourselves. Rather than scan from an art book, we took the initiative to track down a private collector who owns an original 1845 Hiroshige Ukiyo-e print of the artwork, and were able to obtain amazing first generation, museum quality scans of this masterpiece.
To retain the classic feel of the original 1995 release, this gatefold is designed in the spirit of the original digipack with attention to detail, even down to the typeface, as well as well as exclusive band photos and exclusive liner notes by Mirai Kawashima. This LP set features not only the original album mix, but an unreleased mix by the the band as well as the unreleased EP title track Shadowking as a bonus.
Included in all 500 copies is a huge, luxurious 24" x 36" (60.96 cm x 91.44 cm) poster of the Hiroshige artwork.
