Metalligator's Chomping Commentary

Sigh - I Saw the Worlds End 01
Sigh – I Saw the World’s End (Hangman’s Hymn MMXXV) Peaceville Records ~ Thrash Metal / Black Metal / Classical Music

Did you know that Sigh’s releases continuously aim to spell out S-I-G-H with the first letter? Metalligator knows. And he also knows that even when Sigh calls on a letter from the past, they know how to make it feel like the next letter in the cycle.
