Sigh have come a long, long way since their signing to the Deathlike Silence label nearly 20 years ago. They may have contracted the avant-garde virus nearer the early stages of their career but with each release it has propagated and what was once a host body is now a fully mutated organism and the black metal elements that once made up its meat is now little more than a few straggly veins. I'm not complaining though.

Not a big fan of the first 2 or 3 tracks, but the rest more than makes up for it

I have now been blessed by the light of this album

This is starting to be one of my favorite albums ever, I think it overtook Hangman's Hymn as my favorite Sigh release already
