Sigh
 

A Japanese Black metal band, and well, Black metal?!
Yeah, they're black metal alright, but there's nothing like them! Most of their albums are Symphonic avant-garde black metal, something similar to Arcturus, but the album that really stands out for me is Imaginary Sonicscape.
This album is a sign of a band having fun and doing what they like! It's definitely accessible(upto an extent) and one of the funnest albums I've listened to. Has some crazy keyboards, great guitar work and little bit of everything! Some blues, classical, funk, even a small dub/reggae section and combine those with catchy melodies and harsh vocals and there ya go. Black metal is supposed to be intense, a bit raw and at your face, but this one feels exactly the opposite.

Here are a few tracks from the album-

Scarlet Dream
Slaughtergarden Suite
(just ignore the video...the music is there. And no, it doesn't get cut at around 9:08...that's sigh for you. Always unexpected :p:)
Ecstatic Transformation
Corpsecry Angelfall

For those who don't mind black metal, Hail Horror Hail, Hangman's Hymn & Gallows Gallery might interest you. It's more progressive-black metal and again, the crazy keyboards is what does it for me.

This is amazing.

I LOVE this.

It's phenomenol.

<--I just found a new band to look into.

How did you find out about them?

I'd recommend Imaginary Sonicscape and Gallows Gallery to begin with. Hangman's Hymn & Hail Horror Hail do have a bit more black metal elements that may be harder to digest, but they do feature all the weirdo keyboards and other elements as well.

Anyways, finding out about them wasn't a problem. They are kinda well known amongst the underground. Let me know if you can't find Imaginary Sonicscape...I'll try and up it.

I found Imarginary Soniscape on Amazon: easy.

You know the song "Midnight"?

It completely ruined my perception of them.

The song sounds so... light.

Maybe if I learn the lyrics, it'll show me otherwise, but I don't like the style of that so at all.

I have Imarginary Soniscape and Hangman's Hymn, both awesome albums.

I love this except for the vocals :(. Bands that fck around with Genre conventions really appeal to me but Black Metal vocals are not amongst my favourites. I may have to get an album and fully digest it before making a complete judgement.

Let me know if you need Imaginary Sonicscape.
It could have been better with cleaner vocals i guess. The Black metal vocals and lyrics seemed kinda funny though at times :p:
