Архив новостей | Русская версия
To mark the 30th anniversary of Infidel Art – Sigh’s groundbreaking and boldly experimental second album – Peaceville will release a special anniversary limited marble vinyl LP, standard black vinyl LP, 2CD, and cassette. Kickstarting a string of reissues of Sigh’s revered yet hard to find classic early catalogue, this new edition of Infidel Art contains a new master created by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony, featuring a new transfer from the original DAT source.
Speaking on the new edition, bandleader and songwriter Mirai Kawashima shared – “I am well aware that Sigh’s albums released via Cacophonous Records in the ‘90s have been hard to find for a long time. Actually, so many labels tried to re-release those albums, but it never worked. However, finally the wait is over! Soon you can get them on both vinyl and CD via Peaceville Records. Of course, the albums are way more primitive than what we are doing today, but they definitely are the albums that shaped who we are today. And what really surprised me was that those four albums were released within 5 years. How productive we were!”
Infidel Art will also be released as a Double CD Edition and a collectible Cassette Edition. The CD includes a rare first mix of the entire album, as well as additional tracks “The Zombie Terror” from the Far East Gate In Inferno compilation, plus songs originally included for a split release with Kawir, having also received a new transfer from the original DAT source.
Vinyl editions (via a four-page additional insert) and the 2CD edition also include a new and exclusive interview with Mirai Kawashima, conducted by Dayal Patterson of Cult Never Dies.
Following the great reception of Scorn Defeat in the underground, and maintaining the same core line-up of Mirai Kawashima, Shinichi Ishikawa, and Satoshi Fujinami, Infidel Art surfaced in 1995 and became a new milestone for the band, expanding on the symphonic and classical elements to create something more grandiose and monumental in scale, whilst still embracing Sigh’s old school metallic influences and dark mysticism, for epic tracks such as “Zombie Terror” and “Izuna”.
