Concert by Japanese metal band Sigh.

About: Sigh

Tokyo's Sigh have spent over three decades bending black metal into something unrecognizable - psychedelic, symphonic, jazz-laced - with frontman Mirai Kawashima at the helm since day one. Their 2025 re-recording I Saw the World's End (Hangman's Hymn MMXXV) shows the band still has no interest in standing still.
