Warthur
Among the most symphonically-inclined of Sigh's output, Hangman's Hymn sees them returning to a more immediately recognisably black metal style, but with sonic enhancements learned from preceding avant-garde efforts. Comparable to works by the likes of Deathspell Omega, it finds Sigh demonstrating an ability to keep up with newer acts throwing in an honest to goodness choir on top of all that. After this they'd go back on a less traditional route, but the mere fact that this is closer to more readily identified metal subgenres shouldn't lull you into a false sense of security - having shown they can break the rules whenever they please, Sigh return to a more traditional format to show just how completely they master such structures.
