[[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]]. |
