Japanese black metal legends Sigh formed in 1989/1990. The genre-classic debut ‘Scorn Defeat’ followed on Euronymous’ Deathlike Silence Productions in 1993, and with each subsequent release, Sigh grew to become one of the country’s greatest and most revered metal exports. With a journey through the strange and the psychedelic, incorporating a whole eclectic mix of genre styles & experimentation throughout their career, Sigh has remained a vital creative force in the avantgarde field whilst maintaining their old school roots, as witnessed with the stellar 2022 album, ‘Shiki’. 2025 also saw Sigh remaking their ‘Hangman’s Hymn’ album for a release on Peaceville as part of the band’s 35th anniversary celebrations, in the shape of ‘I Saw the World’s End: Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV’.

With the ongoing early line-up of Mirai Kawashima, Shinichi Ishikawa, and Satoshi Fujinami, ‘Scenario IV: Dread Dreams’ was the band’s fourth studio album, originally surfacing in 1999. This was also notably the final title in partnership with Sigh’s then-label, Cacophonous Records. Delving evermore into the experimental side of music to conjure an interlinked gallery of twisted soundscapes; ‘Dread Dreams’ became more of a journey into the realm of psychedelia and rock over black metal, with this Zappa-inspired odyssey acting as somewhat of a direct pre-cursor to what was to follow with the celebrated ‘Imaginary Sonicscape’ opus.

‘Dread Dreams’ was once more recorded at Shinjuku On Air Studio with J. Yamada, with a selection of guests including Damian Montgomery of Ritual Carnage lending lyrics plus guest vocals, along with King Fowley (Deceased), and Killjoy (Necrophagia) supplying additional song lyrics. Cover art came courtesy of renowned artist Joe Petagno (Motörhead, Autopsy).

Continuing with Peaceville’s re-issues of Sigh’s classic works, this edition of ‘Dread Dreams’ contains a new master created by Patrick Engel at Temple of Disharmony.

The release also includes a new interview with main-man Mirai Kawashima conducted by Dayal Patterson of Cult Never Dies, with his thoughts, influences and reflections on the album and its challenges.

This edition of ‘Dread Dreams’ is presented on limited marble vinyl.

Double black vinyl, gatefold, insert, Abyss of Wrathful Deities is GRAVE MIASMA´s fifth release, the latest in a 19-year sonic exploration of the transcendental essence and nature of death. Nine tracks of pounding, dark Death Metal, rooted in the adoration of mysterious Tibetan burial rites and shamanic passages to other worlds. Trading a little of the cavernous atmospheres of previous releases for the traditional Metal currency of speed and aggression, ?Abyss of Wrathful Deities? still sounds immediately and inimitably like GRAVE MIASMA. Recorded mixed and mastered by Jamie Gomez Arellano at Orgone Studios (Paradise Lost, Primordial, Vltimas, Angel Witch) Experience the hellish descent towards otherworldly chasms through a thousand shades of death!

"The 3rd full length from Australia's Quest Master. "The Twelve Castles" is a continuation and refinement of the sounds and ideas explored in "Lost Songs of Distant Realms". A love letter to the RPG's of the 1990's, recorded with classic Casio and Yamaha keyboard tones."

 Limited to 250 copies on a grey shell with 'lock' cover art, and 250 copies on blue shells with 'key' cover art.

"Eight years after 'Eonian', DIMMU BORGIR returns with 'Grand Serpent Rising', a thirteen-track album that is both relentless and remarkably diverse. The title itself symbolizes renewal: for the band, the serpent represents transformation, knowledge, and liberation—a necessary shedding after more than thirty years in the industry. From the introduction 'Tridentium' to the explosive 'Ascent', the band confirms that it has lost none of its intensity or aura. Over nearly an hour of music, the album showcases majestic power, blending the raw energy of 90s Norwegian black metal with the mastery gained over the decades. With 'Grand Serpent Rising', DIMMU BORGIR delivers an imposing and ambitious work, driven by an intact inspiration and a vision more grandiose than ever."
