Known for their genre-classic Black Metal debut 'Scorn Defeat' (1993) and a subsequent journey through the strange and psychedelic, Sigh has consistently incorporated an eclectic mix of genre styles. They remain a vital creative force in the avant-garde field while maintaining their old-school roots, as demonstrated on their 2022 album 'Shiki' and the 2025 release 'I Saw The World's End: Hangman's Hymn MMXXV'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Album:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n'Goh-ka' is considered a natural evolution and a diverse leap from their previous work. It delivers a new highlight of atmosphere, technical mastery, and meticulously arranged epics of metallic grandeur. Main-man Mirai Kawashima describes 'Goh-ka' as a personal album, both musically and lyrically. Musically, it blends elements of Celtic Frost, Voivod, Black Sabbath, horror movies, and Japanese influences, with additional spices of psychedelic rock, prog rock, and classical music over its close to one-hour duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlbum Title Meaning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe album title 'Goh-ka' carries a triple meaning: infernal fire scorching sinners, a huge fire that burns down the world at the end of time, and karma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThematic Elements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe primary theme permeating the album is Kuso-zu, a series of Buddhist paintings depicting the nine stages of a human body's decomposition after death. These are intended to encourage meditation on the impermanence of life, the inevitability of death, and detachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis edition is presented on double black vinyl with a gatefold sleeve and includes a bonus track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEpic new studio album from Japanese metal pioneers Sigh.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeatures a guest appearance from Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePresented on double black vinyl with a gatefold sleeve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes a bonus track.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMusical influences include Celtic Frost, Voivod, Black Sabbath, horror movies, and Japanese elements, with psychedelic rock, prog rock, and classical music.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAlbum title 'Goh-ka' has a triple meaning: infernal fire, world-ending fire, and karma.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThematic focus on Kuso-zu and meditation on impermanence and death.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImmerse yourself in the unique and powerful soundscape of Sigh's latest offering, 'Goh-ka'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sigh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57826739257726,"sku":"B0H789ZV7D","price":59.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/3919\/1207\/files\/A1-laVBgN8L_304bd52a-5f1c-40f4-89a2-356858de6013.jpg?v=1786384412","url":"https:\/\/www.yachew.com\/en-be\/products\/goh-ka-vinyl","provider":"Yachew","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
