Vocalist Mirai Kawashima commented:
“‘Hangman’s Hymn‘, which was released in 2007, is one of my best compositions of my whole career, but it does not necessarily mean that this is my favorite Sigh album. The excessively monotonous drumming must be the biggest issue. The guitars are sloppy. The production is far from the best. And my orchestrations and vocals could have been much better. So what if we re-record this with better musicians and today’s production?
The idea was always in my head, and finally the time has come to make it happen. I do know that re-recording can be the double-edged sword. ‘Scorn Defeat‘ has some flaws. So does ‘Imaginary Sonicscape‘. But I will never ever re-record those albums as I am sure that it would lose their magic. But ‘Hangman’s Hymn‘ is an exception. You can easily tell what I mean if you listen to this completely re-recorded version.”
