SIGH - New Interview Available
April 21, 2008, 16 years ago
In an exclusive interview with MetalSucks.net, SIGH vocalist/bassist Mirai Kawashima discusses the band's upcoming tribute album to the legendary VENOM, appropriately titled Sigh’s Tribute To Venom. The album will be released on The End Records sometime in the late summer/early fall, just in time for the group’s US tour with ZIMMER’S HOLE. Mirai also shed some light on the band’s next original release, tentatively titled Scenes From Hell / Tempore Belli / Vanitas. Excerpts from the chat follow:
MetalSucks: Why did you decide to record a tribute album to Venom?
Mirai Kawashima: "The biggest reason is that we wanted to introduce the new member Mikannibal to our fans. It will take a while to finish up the new original album, so we wanted do something before that to introduce her. Also, definitely we’ve been a big fan of Venom for a long time, and we even played some Venom tracks at our very first gig in 1990, and still we play them live."
MetalSucks: This is actually your second tribute album to Venom… why do another one? Did you ever consider recording a tribute EP to a different band?
Mirai Kawashima: "The first one was just a compilation of the live tracks, and it was released only on cassette with the old line-up. I myself even haven’t seen its original copy so probably only a few hundred copies were made. The new one is a studio recording with the new line-up, so definitely those two are something totally different."
