(short review) Feb 05, 2009
you probably already have an idea for the sound from the other reviews,but it is a very good album as a whole..
has a theme, which i like.
and has enough tuff going on to keep it intresting..
fantastic!
i dont use 5 stars lightly
...first they invade Manchuria...then they survive Hiroshima...and now this... Jun 10, 2008
...Japan are always very good for music (Miyavi, Merzbow, Boris, Boredoms, Dir en Grey, Mucc) but this gem of an album somehow manages to topple all of those bands from their pedsestals...this is truly groundbreaking...
...yes it may be debatable whether they throw anything 100% new to the table...but these Avant Garde artists know how to make music that flows with an instrumental experimentation (and the solos are beautiful)...you can listen to something more complex, and more intense...but it may not seem as comfortable and fluent as their sound which manages to glide gracefully through your ears until coming out of your opposite ear a new breed...the sound never seems to tire...
...this product doesn't require much critical analysis...very simply it all fits perfectly into place...for fans of Avante Garde metal...it has me hungering for more...time to open the back catalogue...

Possibly Sigh's best album to date. Aug 04, 2007
I really like some of Sigh's albums and I think this is their best one. They really manage to match the orchestral with the metal; and they didn't have an orchestra to back them up!

Yet another gem from Sigh Jul 08, 2007
Once again Sigh manages to put out an amazing album. Resounding Scorn Defeat this album has all the aggression of early Sigh but the samples link it to Imaginary Sonicscape, Its safe to say this album showcases their multifaceted musical ability with exelent black metal and their experimental side. They invite some guest musicians to partake in this album which further expands the breadth of this musical experience. Members of Red Chord, Sacrifice, and Ares Kingdom indulge us with some awesome solos, trumpet and instrumental parts layer on the complexity of this album that keeps me listening for all the melodies. The thing that really makes me happy with this album is that there are no filler tracks; they all showcase the exceptional musicianship of Sigh and the great vocal skills of Mirai.

 Wore me out.... Jun 29, 2007
This is probably one of the most over-the-top metal CD's I own. While I realize that Sigh are decade-plus veterans of the global black metal movement, I'm not sure how to treat this CD.
The album has a very operatic feel, with several string/horn arrangements peppered throughout the proceedings. At times, the symphonic arrangements seem a bit overbearing, and just when I start to get annoyed with them, Sigh reels me back in with another litany of blast-beats and primal screams.
My only real gripe with this album is some of the noise going on in the background (e.g.: horror clips, ghoulish cackling, etc). In fact, at times the bombast of the CD borders on campy, and I can't help but wonder if Sigh have traversed a line that turned them into a charicature instead of a true musical force with which to reckon.
Maybe I need to listen to it a few more times.
