Drone Jazz from the hellyard, Sigihl was brought to life in mid 2012.
They say: "No special story behind us, no achievements, no records, no special gigs. Nothing. There's only Lucifer's love. For now...."
Well there is a record and here's the review.
'Daymare' is a very raw sounding piece, possibly recorded live in the studio, it has that feel anyway.From its ambient start it decends into a hellish drone/doom world of distortion over a solid drumbeat and screamed vocals.The Sax sounds like it is run through a distortion pedal, but then so does everything else, a glorious moise!
The same can be said of the second song 'Non Credo Quia Absurdum Est' though this has the addition of very avante garde jazz sax playing, and i warn you it is very "Avante Garde" !
'Christ-Off Waltz' reels it back in slightly, though the vocals do seem to go a little crazy and high pitched at times.
Following a more traditional doom structure is 'The Rite Of Pain', a somewhat apt title for this torturous song.
Finally 'Tango Catholico' a strange mix of noise (sorry i mean jazz) and slide guitar.
Rating 7/10
For fans of: Sunn 0))), Sigh, King Crimson
