I Saw The World's End - Hangman's Hymn MMXXV is a fully re-recorded version of their 2007 album Hangman's Hymn. Described as a modernized and improved rendition, it features new members and a dynamic production, capturing Sigh's full symphonic black metal vision.
Over nearly four decades and twelve albums, Sigh have been an unparalleled force, pushing the envelope in the avant-garde and black metal genres. The Japanese outfit have continually redefined themselves and confounded expectations throughout their career, beginning with the extreme black metal of 1993’s Scorn Defeat through to the more progressive work of the past few years. Amidst their discography, Hangman’s Hymn (2007) stands out - a tour de force of thrash metal loaded with classical influences and instrumentation. Eighteen years on, the band have revisited the landmark work: a full re-recording and rechristening with the band’s current line-up.
It’s a curious choice from the band. None of the tracks have been re-imagined; structurally, I Saw The World’s End (Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV) is identical to its predecessor across each song and part. This aligns with band leader and vocalist Mirai Kawashima‘s motivations - the enigmatic frontman considers Hangman’s Hymn to be a compositional high point of his career, but lacking in both production and performance.
