Scorn Defeat is the first full-length album by the Japanese black metal band Sigh, released in 1993 by Deathlike Silence Productions.
It is the band's most traditional black metal album, taking on a formula lyrically compared to their Scandinavian peers.
The first edition of Scorn Defeat features a black-and-white illustration on the cover art.
Both are long since out of print due to poor distribution, as they were published on Deathlike Silence following the death of its founder Euronymous.
In 2000 the album was reissued by Psychic Scream Entertainment, including a bonus track, "The Seven Gates of Hell," which is a Venom cover, and completely new artwork.
