Sigh - "Messiahplan" [PV]

[kalatorulstalker]

do you have a better quality of this, to upload ?

[outlawformetal614]

this makes me think of power rangers

[cesarmalak]

Would kill to get the tabs for this

[Doodorz]

Lol at the music video. Amazing song.

[Tzimac]

Man, this song makes me want to play sonic.

[simonwalvis]

Sigh is such an awesome band because their music has no limits.Want examples?

Listen to Scarlet Dream,The Knell,Inked In Blood and Midnight Sun.Sounds completely different,yet,it's still just one band.

Sigh domitates.

[Cyphairius]

Does it really matter if they're metal or not? If you only listen to metal then you're a retard.

[TheOpethianParadox]

Gospel metal! Haha... Just kidding. Their music still rocks no matter what they believe in. Anyway, for those who do not know, they are 'agnostic'. Sorry, satan, you're not included again. Boohoo! Run along! :D

[Xhell999]

this song come from fucking now whee but its great

[Arcturo765]

sounds like the soundtrack to a Jackie Chan movie

[jim9999999]

gunfaces solo on this song kicks ass!!

[XXLink]

I bet that nobody knew in japan bout iron maiden or judas priest in the time when they came out so can you leave them out of the inspired-by-this-band chat and focus on the jmetal bands?

[NutNapalm]

@XXLink Of course they did. Sigh formed in the early-mid 90's IIRC. And the metal scene's always been sort of "international"

[herohammer]

point out an Iron Maiden song with lyrics like "I'm saving my soul, killing myself, I have been trapped." with a music video juxtaposing people on elevators with rocks on a conveyor belt up to a grinder.

The sound of the Gallows Gallery album might not be extremely heavy, but the lyrical themes are.

[TheHauntedAngel]

Different album - their style changes pretty much every album, so comparing those two songs is like comparing two different bands.

[SatyriconDivina]

This is like Iron Maiden? What a piece of shit comment.

Gallows Gallery (by Sigh) is magnificent.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

I know. The truth hurts sometimes.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

So this is when Sigh were trying to be Iron Maiden, amirite?

[Rengori]

They do a better job at it imo.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

Okay. Your opinion.

[3dd656]

Except Iron Maiden were never anything Avant-Garde.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

If it wasn't for Iron Maiden's innovation this band probably wouldn't even exist. Also, avant-garde doesn't mean good.

[3dd656]

Iron Maiden innovative? Popular is not the same thing as innovative. I hope you know that.

I also hope you know that this isn't Sigh's first album, but their album just before the recent. That this album was the only album they did with this distinct style. That Sigh's first albums were Black Metal and recent albums, excluding this one which took more of just an "Avant-Garde" Metal approach, are Avant-Garde Black Metal.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

In order for something to be innovative it has to find a new approach to doing a specific thing. In this case its music. Think about why they're famous. Who else except for some of the other N.W.O.B.H.M. was playing music like this back in 1979? No one. I'm almost certain that if you look at the bands that influenced Sigh, some of those bands were directly touched by the N.W.O.B.H.M. Also, I know a bit about Sigh. One of the few Japanese bands that isn't androgynous.

[3dd656]

Of course, with Iron Maiden, it was exactly what would be considered a "new approach" to music. A distinct style of their own in a form of music, yes. But Innovative, I wouldn't say so. But that's just me, and I don't feel like a long drawn out argument about whether Iron Maiden is innovative or not.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

I don't mean to be rude but... to be innovative is to find a new way to do something that has been done before. Iron Maiden found a new way of making rock music.

[3dd656]

Not really. Their were plently of Heavy Metal bands before Iron Maiden, although there are only three that have either put out albums before Iron Maiden or are well known. Those three would be Black Sabbath, Motorhead, and Judas Priest.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

Each and every band named in your comment was innovative. They all found a new way of writing songs. Also, that's the textbook definition of innovation. To find a new way to do something that has been done before.

[3dd656]

Just because a band writes songs differently than another does not, does not, make them innovative. By your defenition, every single band that has written their own songs is innovative.

[YouGotSandInYoVagina]

Yeah, I was looking at my post and realized my mistake. The thing that makes you innovative is in being one of the first to do what you did. Iron Maiden were one of the first heavy metal styled bands to play in those galloping tempos and to use those searing lead harmonies, thus, making them innovative. On another note, if you like Sigh, you might like Master's Hammer. The first "avant-garde" black metal band.

[godlessCommie7]

:53  SO perfect!

[thebest123666]

GO GUNFACE 2:50

[furakkueroru]

Every time I lie with my Cunning Hoe!

[furakkueroru]

In my bed when Im with my cunning hoe.

[dragonhighlorde]

This vid combines my two loves. Great metal and trains!!

[xsoundgarden]

Great band! they remind me Atomic Rooster!

If you've never listened to ARooster you should! =)

[ponsdraft]

Sounds good, but the quality is terrible. =/

[insultorio]

come aria come !!

[fatearchertoshaka]

VERY EXOTIC METAL, this is the description for sigh music! AWESOME!

[kalatorulstalker]

the video contains some filming errors, which should be cut on editing ...

the idea as a whole is interesting. nice.

[Wayavas1337]

really? what filming errors?

[kalatorulstalker]

on the 3.03 camera goes right and back left,

this movement is unmotivated.

this can be avoided so ...

movement right, then movement back to center constantly zooming out.

(my opinion)

[HugoAdulte]

Uh.

It was obviously the filmaker's intention to do that. The video as whole is almost ''psychedelic'' and quite original.

It's actually in my opinion a really really great video, though I could understand why some people may not like it.

[kalatorulstalker]

you obviously did-nt get my message,

i sad that i like the idea, but more work "here" and "there" will be welcomed. And more of, it-s my opinion it-s not necessarily a way to be followed.

PS i-d like a replay from the author.

[HugoAdulte]

I obviously agree that you can have your opinion. Mine was that your so-called error was not one but really just intentionnal. Of course it could have been improved but wtv, Im pleased with what it is right now.

[tenkuunokage]

singer sounds like Nitro singer ROFL kickass!

[username19237]

Is anyone surprised at all that this came from Japan? xD

[furakkueroru]

i AM A gaijin AND i miss jAPAN! i will go see Gallhammer then!

[furakkueroru]

Gallhammer was Great!

[furakkueroru]

Gallhammer are great and gorgeous!

[limpboz]

Awesome!!!Sigh just keep on producing better album each time!!!!

[draydince]

To ALL of you saying a band "Is or isn't" Metal based on what the INTERNET tells you, I give a bag of crotch rot to. Try having a mind for yourself. Why limit yourself to a genre... I started listening to Korn when I was a kid, and because of that - I branched out into finding many interesting bands - INCLUDING Sigh. The labelling of a "Genre" will be the death of future music.

[HoChiDude]

I agree that people shouldn't limit themselves to genres, but as far as genres go, Korn is just about as metal as Led Zeppelin.

[BloodLustWulf]

I totally agree dude.

[BloodLustWulf]

I totally agree dude.

[MadassAlex]

We're not saying this based on what the internet tells us - we're saying it based on a set of rules accepted by metalheads basically world-over.

And labelling genres allows us to quickly describe music. It doesn't pigeonhole bands at all.

[OdinPwnsSatansCunt]

You're all stupid. First, this isn't black metal. Thats Sigh's old stuff. It's still good, though. Second Korn (sucks) and is nu metal which is rap with metal...metal-archives has rules which state they won't put nu metal bands into their encyclopedia (just as they wont put grindcore or classic rock acts like Led Zeppelin in) so you all have no idea what you're talking about. Third, WTF are you talking about that SHIT for? Those bands SUCK. This is Sigh and its GOOD. Talk about the vid.

[MADNickosNose]

This song is so fucking awesome and catchy as hell!

[Meifumado666]

There can be only one Sigh!

[flackerrol]

No, there are two versions of Gallows Gallery now, so its like 2 Sighs!

[popas7]

Sigh is fuckin' amazing! Respect!!!

[pariaraf]

ya..ya....salute.....

[pariaraf]

different orientation in music is not that bad....it lets the band experiment.....ex..COB, In Flames....Night(mare)wish....E­TC....

[popas7]

COB are fuckin mainstream posers, cannot be compared with forever underground and true Sigh.....

[pariaraf]

theres nothing wrong in earning extra money....haha....they have talents....so be it....

[madmangamatt]

great video great music great band

[totalstranga]

what gets me is that the people bashing Sigh even knew who they are. I mean why look up their videos if you dont know what they sound like and then bash them and say stupid sh@t like, "btw, I like country". Go to a frigging Young Jeezy video and talk that shit.

Sigh>>>all that american country bullsh@t

[MiniItalia]

well w/e idc. all i know is these guys suck and my "bad understanding of metal" is way better than these guys will ever be. btw i listen to country.

PS classic rock and hard rock is waaaay better than any "metal" group

[tkstka]

then why comment?

The mainstream Metal is like mainstream rap.

Shitty but most people only know what they hear on tv or radio.. And everyone listens.

[Ongaku]

You have to be kidding me. Go listen to Sugarland instead of flaunting your weak understanding of metal music.

[PaganSteel]

Hahahaha Korn and System of a Down. And AC/DC ain't that great. Every song sounds the same, same chunky rhythm for the verse and same ringing chords for the chorus and they enlighten us with an intro every so often. But hey, if you can write one song and get paid for it still over a couple of decades, go ahead. And if you want a real guitarist, try Yngwie Malmsteen or Steve Vai, fuck Angus Young.

[tkstka]

guns and roses, Led Zeppelin, pink Flyod rolling stones, system of down, korn aren't even metal you jackass--

You know shit about metal.. Why do you judge if you don't like.. Why come here? we can obviously see that you don't know shit about metal..

Good metal bands come usually from nordic-scandinavia.. Sigh was one of the first band to be signed by Euronymous when he still lived.

[tkstka]

And that's what so great.. Japanese kids finding Mayhem and getting ispired by their music and starts their own band.. Great..

Their style is more Jazz/black metal/Japanese folk stories.. I mean I first heard their stuff I was hooked.. Just like Vintersörg discover Folk Metal, Sigh made more "Japanese"

style of metal..

[tkstka]

They have great sound.. Most of those song are fantastic.. When I first heard Black metal I was like "wow this sucks". Back then I didn't know what to listen in BM. You need to learn what to listen in Sigh songs.. Don't judge the band because you don't like it.. I don't like your favorite band but again I don't go around and talking shit about them.. Simple

[Daarkvader]

TOTALLY AGREE....who cares what u class sigh as.... ITS FUCKIN AWSOME............but i tried to class it takin all their albums in consideration... death/folk/black/classic/avana­ntgard/metal/dark..suicidic musics thats sounds Damn good...

its all made in Japan styled... plz people dont compare this to Korn...instead compare it to king Diamond!

[sounirvalice1]

though i like guns and roses pink Flyod & rolling stones there not "metal" but Led Zeppelin sure is they are the inventors of it along with sabath and purple... scandinavia and germany are def the places to go for metal... uk began it but now this place sux for metal

[tkstka]

Ya like we "scandinavians" don't know..

[Vampirickodiak]

Not quite true - Korn and System are actually metal. Not the heavier kinds of metal, no, but nu metal is still metal.

[tkstka]

Korn is hard rock... not metal

[Vampirickodiak]

"Korn (sometimes typeset as KoЯn) is a band from Bakersfield, California, and are credited with creating and popularizing the nu metal genre. Along with other bands at the time, they have also inspired many nu metal and alternative metal bands throughout the mid 1990s and early 2000s.[3]"

- excerpted from Wikipedia. Quite probably one of the most reliable sources you'll find on the internet. Not the only source to label them as nu metal, either.

[tkstka]

You can type what ever you want KoЯn Korn nrok what ever makes you happy BUT IT's NOT METAL.. For fuck sakes..

Don't know who put that on Wiki but I have ears and I know what is metal.. Haven't listen them in years and don't know if they have changed styles but The earlier was definetly not metal...

[Oathbound]

Anyone can enter what ever they want on wikipeida. Hence making it a non reputable source. Also korn is not on metal archives which is the nets metal encyclopedia. If they were metal they would be on there.

And this is an awesome song and an interesting video.

[Daarkvader]

WHY ARE YOU HERE!!!!!???? u like country music? and U ENDED UP HERE? U REALLY HAVE NOTHIN BETTER TO DO... System an Korn are Not Metal either... that crazy stupid EMO hard rock that isnt even sure if is actually rap(Korn) go fuck yourself

[furakkueroru]

Cuntry Music RULES - Meet Glen Campbell!

[fanfulladalodi79]

Korn?? Ah ah what a shitty band.

[flackerrol]

Love the green Godzilla Dinosaur!

[maxv]

terrible song

[izeretnom]

fuck you, this is not a wanna be metal. maybe you should learn first before you want to make a comment. fuck you dickhead

[Rhademanthus]

Wow, you kinda suck.

[MetalMilitiA347]

Have you listened to the first album or newest album... clearly very good black metal.

[DarkWisdom]

They haven't become different they have gone back to their previous vocals on Hail Horror Hail.

[erorufurakku]

Hangmans Hymn is crazy! Fucking Totemo Subarashi! My favorite is still Gallows Gallery, I prefer the vocals.

[sanka89]

check out their new album "Hangman's Hymn" i'm sure you wont recognize the ... they become soo different

[VomitSelf7]

i just saw Volcano, it'd be real horrorshow if there was a volcan. I,d like to see them play in the video too. It's a great song anyway.

[mildreth9]

What the hell is this?

They really should return to themselves...

[SouthernGoat]

Can no one stand change? I mean don't get me wrong, I love Black Metal, but the vocals do tend to get on my nerves, and I do love a change, not be confined to one genre of music that is mostly based around image (i.e. corpse paint, leather pants, spikes, etc.), I'm getting tired of the silly shit.

[mildreth9]

You are completely right, honestly.

It´s just that I fell in love with Imaginary Sonicscape, and Scenario VI...

take care

=)

[olskayl]

agree... People liek to see the things well definite, as written in stone, but everything evolute, way of universe(s)... It's particulary annoying concerning the black metal audience, that preach a rekection of the comon value, especially the chrisitan behaviour, but that inerty in our lives was meanly provoked by it

[erorufurakku]

Sigh obsessed with the desert since Scenario Dread Dreams! Its good to see Japan, I want to return, its my spiritual home! Maybe I can see Onmyouza again!

[FuneralMist]

Amazing, Sigh's progressive change is amazing.

[Gouhllit]

looks great i love Sigh every little piece of there work, from the Venom covers to this, a great band.

[bl4sph3m3r]

not bad... but is good to know that brutality will be back on their next album

[TheTrueMaverick]

I really cannot stand the clean vocals of theirs.... Come back old Sigh!!! *tear*

[scandiumtrioxide]

I actually kind of dig the clean vocals. Very dorky, kind of reminiscent of Mike Patton.

[splashfootmonkey]

Sighs tune "Beyond Centuries" gives me goose bumps. Listen to it on their album "Infidel Art".

I am the lord!

[AHTNF]

I bet this will be in the books for "Worlds Cheapest Video"...but I mean that in a good way.

[maddne0]

Best Japanese band, by far. OK, Sabbat comes close...but Sigh rules over them all.

PS: Thanks for posting these two videos! I didn't even know Sigh had music videos...

[Numoku]

Kinda weird but awesome! :D

[karpsmom]

Awesome video! Excellent footage! Agreed about seeing the band, but I think it's excellent anyway! I'm glad we got to see the band in the Midnight Sun video, so that was enough for me!

[tumayirgas]

Nice but would be even better if we could see the band a bit...

[thr4sh]

agreed...
