Peaceville is an English label founded by Paul Halmshaw, also known as Hammy, in 1987. The label primarily focuses on metal music and has gained a reputation for its high-quality releases. In 2000, Peaceville was sold to Snapper Music but continues to thrive under their ownership.

Throughout its history, Peaceville has used various catalog number formats to distinguish different types of releases. From 1987 to 1995, the label used "VILE ### T" for 12-inch singles, maxis, and EPs; "VILE ###" for LPs; and "VILE ### P" for picture LPs. From 1987 to 2002, CD releases were labeled as "CDVILE### / VILE ### CD," while MCDs/singles/EPs were labeled as "CDMVILE### / VILE ### TCD." Limited CDs were marked with "CDXVILE###."

In later years, Peaceville introduced new catalog number formats such as "CC#" for the Collectors Club series of 7-inch records in 1993-1994. Re-issued CDs with slipcases from 1999 onwards are labeled as "CDVILEM###." Since 2002, CDs have been designated as "CDVILEF###," limited CDs as "CDVILEF###X," MCDs/singles/EPs as "CD

Gaining the interest of Norwegian mastermind Euronymous, they signed with Deathlike Silence Productions. Their debut album "Scorn Defeat" gained international underground respect and allowed them to progress and continue recording intelligent releases. With their unique noises and compositions insanity, Sigh became popular in the underground scene and beyond.

Their later albums "Hail Horror Hail", "Scenario IV: Dread Dreams" and "Imaginary Sonicscape" brought even greater success. The current line-up consists of Mirai Kawashima on vocals, keyboards, orchestrations; Dr. Mikannibal on alto saxophone and vocals; Satoshi Fujinami on bass; Shinichi Ishikawa on guitar; Junichi Harashima on drums.
