SHIKI

This is and isn't another experimental album from Sigh; to be exact, it's experimental in the sense that once again they have reconfigured their sound, but on the other hand it isn't experimental in that the material they're incorporating isn't especially unusual or unprecedented in Sigh's sound.

But on the third hand - the one you weren't expecting - it is experimental because all these old sounds are being put together with a different perspective, the band's long experience being put to great use. There's a doomier side to their avant-black metal here, adding an extra dose of heaviness, and the way the group work these slow, ominous slabs of doom into their frenetic avant-black metal landscape is the genius of this album, which stands as another excellent milestone in their expansive catalogue.
