Sigh announce new live album ‘Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022’
SIGH have announced a new live album!
Titled Live: The Eastern Forces Of Evil 2022, the upcoming album from the Japanese black metal band is the follow-up to 2022’s Shiki, and is scheduled to be released in June this year, via Peaceville Records.
With a title referencing the band’s original underground live release The Eastern Force Of Evil released back in 1997, this new performance captured recently in Japan shows the band in fine form as they perform a wide collection of old and new tracks covering all the way from their debut album Scorn Defeat, up until the band’s first Peaceville studio album, Shiki.
Speaking about the upcoming live album, frontman Mirai says, “our new live album was recorded in August 2022 whilst we performed our live stream that we did during the pandemic, which was a cliché in the world under the Pandemic. However, the recording of both video and audio, turned out by far better than we had expected and we thought it’d be a good idea to physically release it rather than just putting it on YouTube or somewhere. This is a document not only about our blood-drenched stage but also about the new era of SIGH that began with Nozomu on guitar. 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of our debut album Scorn Defeat, and Live: Eastern Forces of Evil 2022 covers our whole career from Scorn Defeat to the latest Shiki released in 2022. Don’t miss it.”
