Newly remastered versions of Sigh‘s 1997 EP “Ghastly Funeral Theatre” and album “Hail Horror Hail” will be landing through Peaceville in early 2026. The avant-garde Japanese black metal outfit will have the sonically revamped version of that EP available on January 23rd, while the overhauled full-length effort will follow on February 27th.
Both releases will be pressed on limited marble vinyl, as well as CD and digital formats. They feature a new remastering job done by Patrick Engel, along with new inserts and interviews with the band’s mastermind Mirai Kawashima.
Bonus material will be included on both releases, though not all over it will make its way to the vinyl pressings. Here’s the breakdown of what has newly been added.
