Hail Horror Hail 恐怖万岁

by Sigh

supported by

Jordan Vauvert Sur Hail Horror Hail 恐怖万岁, Sigh lance un drôle d'avertissement : chaque son est voulu, aussi bizarre puisse-t-il paraître. Mais Infidel Art et Ghastly Funeral Theatre 葬式劇場 faisaient suffisamment passer le message, pas vrai ?
... pas vrai ?
Eh bien, il y a quand même de bonnes chances pour que vous ne soyez pas prêts : Hail Horror Hail 恐怖万岁 fait sens mais c'est une attaque sonique. C'est un album qui vit tout seul — ce n'est pas pour rien qu'on entend ce cœur battre dans "Invitation to Die". Favorite track: 12 Souls.

rvss.eel Classic Sigh. You'll find yourself easily nodding/headbanging along, while just as often thinking "what the hell is going on here and why do I like it?" Sigh's albums jump all over the place in sound, but this is a rare, clear precursor to what comes immediately after it. And Imaginary Sonicscape is, if I had to chose, the crown jewel of their discography. Whether you agree or not, Hail Horror Hail is essential. Favorite track: Hail Horror Hail.

Shoigunjinsho This is by far one of Sigh's best. The first track, being the album's namesake, comes in ripping and roaring, sending your soul straight to hell. 12 Souls reminds me of Diablo 2 for some reason, and the background chorus synth in Curse of Izanagi made my entire body tingle. I hadn't known of this second CD on this album with the more raw recordings. You can hear some fuck ups here and there, and some synth parts sound totally different AND IM IN LOVE WITH IT. This is Sigh at it's best. Favorite track: Curse of Izanagi.

Dan Hébert This album, and Sigh in general, is an experience. Dizzyingly complex and layered, sensory overload.

prophetjams sigh being sigh back when the world wasn't as ready for it, one of their best albums.

about

The second CD(track10-19) contains an unreleased Hail Horror Hail track and a rough mix of the album.

There is a warning on the back of the CD (reproduced on the vinyl) that states:
"Every sound on this album is deliberate and if you find that some parts of the album are strange, it isn't because the music in itself strange, but because your conscious self is ill-equipped to comprehend the sounds produced on this recording."

Shiki

supported by 44 fans who also own “Hail Horror Hail 恐怖万岁”

Et un nouveau cycle pour Sigh. ... ou pas ? Dans Shiki, Sigh joue du black metal avant-gardiste mais il opère surtout un retour aux sources en se focalisant sur le black metal : les orchestrations sont pour ainsi dire inexistants, le jazz réduit au minimum et même la pochette est calquée sur les modèle des premières. Un retour aux sources... ou pas ? Sigh atteint un niveau de rage inédit avec une production impeccable et une batterie qui fait office de rouleau compresseur. Quelle surprise ! Jordan Vauvert

Gallows Gallery: Special Edition
by Sigh

supported by 38 fans who also own “Hail Horror Hail 恐怖万岁”

Je vais sortir le vocabulaire qui fait peur aux puristes : Gallows Gallery est un album court (jerniquenne !), avec du chant clair, des polyphonies, des "ooh ooh ooh !" et "aah aah aah !" de circonstance (ventrequenne !), qui puise dans le hard rock ou le metal gothique (morquenne !) ; bref, le plus accessible pour les néophytes (foutreciel !). MAIS QUELLE ÉNERGIE PHÉNOMÉNALE ! De toutes façons, il faut être le dernier des trve du kvlt pour s'obstiner à rester puriste quand on écoute Sigh... Jordan Vauvert
