Sigh

Sigh was formed in May of 1990 in Tokyo, Japan, and originally stated that they formed in 1989 so they would be viewed with serious consideration as an experienced band. During this time, the trio consisted of Mirai Kawashima who played bass, and sung the vocals, Satoshi Fujinami, who played guitar, and Kazuki who played the drums. All three met each other through the school they were attending at the time. Their primary influence drew mainly from the 1st wave black metal/thrash acts Venom and Celtic Frost. Following, were more well-known acts like Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath. These musical influences can be heard in the band's music throughout their near-seventeen year history. The other primary influence of the band dwelled in the realm of horror films and the soundtracks that accompanied them.
