'''[[Sigh''']] is a [[Black Metal]] band from Japan, maybe the first ever from that country, which formed in Tokyo in 1990. They were somewhat well-known among the black metal scene in the early 1990s for being signed to Deathlike Silence Productions, the record label of [[Mayhem]] guitarist Euronymous. Beginning as a fairly straightforward [[Black Metal]] band, they soon began to [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|experiment with their sound a bit]], with their most recent albums settling on a hybrid of [[Black Metal]], [[Thrash Metal]], and [[Symphonic Metal]].
 
Their current line-up is:
Line 9:
* Mika "Dr. Mikannibal" Kawashima - alto sax, vocals
 
{{discography}}
Their major releases follow [[Theme Naming]], with the first letter of each one being a letter of the word "Sigh".
 
* ''Scorn Defeat'' (1993)
* ''Infidel Art'' (1995)
Line 22:
* ''In Somniphobia'' (2012)

=== Associated tropes: ===
 
* [[Brains and Bondage]]: Dr. Mikannibal, who really is a doctor of physics.
* [[Concept Album]]: ''Hangman's Hymn'' for sure, quite possibly ''Scenes from Hell'' also.
* [[Cover Version]]: Sigh have covered [[Venom (Musicband)|Venom]] (quite a lot of Venom too, someone in the band must really like them), Necrophagia (not surprising as Mirai was a member of that band for at least one album), John Coltrane, and [[Death (Musicband)|Death]].
* [[Creator Couple]]: Mirai and Mikannibal, although the latter is a fairly recent addition to the band.
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Mikannibal, who is bisexual, seems to cultivate this image on purpose. She has revealed in interviews that she has eaten cockroaches, drinks cow's blood before recording vocals, [[Fetish Fuel|records vocals naked]], and enjoys [[Groin Attack|urethra torture]] (inflicting it, that is).
Line 42 ⟶ 40:
* [[Spoken Word in Music]]: Shows up occasionally, the most prominent examples being a couple of songs on ''Scenes from Hell'' feature narration by David Tibet of Current93.
* [[The Something Song]]: "The Tranquilizer Song".
* [[Theme Naming]]: The first letter of the title of each of their major releases is a letter of the word "Sigh"; further, they run in order: "S...", "I...", "G...", "H..." and over again.
* [[Watch It Stoned]]: Recommended by Mirai himself for ''In Somniphobia'': “Be sure to smoke first, then listen to this with headphones. Bad trip guaranteed.”
