Japan's Sigh started as a black metal band; one of the first few in Japan, as most at the time were coming out of places like Norway and Sweden. They went in a more thrash and death metal sound through the 90's and into the 2000's they adopted a far more experimental sound, now often being labeled as "avant-garde." Their singer, Mirai Kawashima, has described the style of the music as a "German thrash-metal-meets-symphonies" style. The band added a second vocalist and saxophonist, Dr. Mikannibal, a female recruit. Samples from "Me-Devil" were used in the trailer for the documentary "Global Metal." Released on The End Records.
