After releasing their latest, full length album ‘Shiki’ in 2022 and now their new live album ‘Live: Eastern Forces of Evil 2022’, SIGH will be bringing their signature brand of Metal to the masses across Europe and the UK this autumn.
This will be a headline tour for Sigh and features Laster as special guests throughout the tour as well. The tour will be both a celebration of the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut album ‘Scorn Defeat’ but will also see the band performing material off their new album ‘Shiki’.
This will also be the first to run feature their new guitarist Nozomu and promises to be one for the ages.
Mirai elaborates on the tour below:
“Although we played in Europe here and there, it’s been a while since we actually “toured” there. We really cannot wait to be on the road again. This tour includes Poland where we have never played before. Also it’s been almost 30 years since we played in Ireland last time!
This tour is not only to support the latest album “Shiki” out on Peaceville last year but to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our debut album “Scorn Defeat”. With the new guitarist, Nozomu, on board, I can assure that Sigh has by far the strongest line-up ever. Don’t miss The Eastern Forces of Evil!”

ABOUT SIGH
Cult Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/90, featuring mainman Mirai Kawashima, Satoshi Fujinami & Kazuki Ozeki. Following initial demos, Shinichi Ishikawa was brought in to the band. It was following this shift that Sigh set about recording the masterpiece debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ for the then-Mayhem guitarist Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions, going on to become one of the country’s greatest and most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field. However, at its core, Sigh has always remained true to its roots of old school metal, and 2022’s ‘Shiki’ album represented a new high point for the band, encapsulating all that was endearing about Sigh, with a perfect mix of styles and injection of eastern flair.
