SIGH has become one of the most respected and creative entities in the metal music scene thanks to the versatile and unique albums they have released, most notably 1997’s black metal opus, Hail Horror Hail, and the psychedelic-tinged sounds of 2001’s Imaginary Sonicscape. The band’s latest record is 2005’s Gallows Gallery (Baphomet/Season of Mist Records).
