If you haven't gotten into Sigh as a band yet, Imaginary Sonicscape is a marvelous place to start. On either album version (original or remaster), the atmosphere retains a journey-like wonder and captivation. This newer issue includes two additional songs and a longer version of "Bring Back the Dead". Imaginary Sonicscape was remastered and re-released in 2009. So not only are they still releasing albums, the albums are absolute gems. In fact, Sigh released an album as recently as 2018 with the critically acclaimed Heir to Despair (spoiler alert – we gave it a 10/10).

Once called "surrealist black metal" by, Sigh demands respect and attention with Imaginary Sonicscape.
