Sigh is an avantgarde metal band from Tokyo, Japan that was formed in 1989. They are NOT a generic band. They are credited as being one of the first Japanese black metal bands, when the majority of black metal in early 1990s came from Scandinavia. They gradually shifted from a more traditional black/thrash metal sound, to a more experimental, avantgarde style.

Sigh was signed by Euronymous' (of Mayhem fame) infamous Label Deathlike Silence Records and released their first full-length album Scorn Defeat on DSP in 1993, shortly after Euronymous' death. The label ceased to exist shortly after his death and Sigh changed to Cacophonous Records.
