Documentary made by Students of the University of Costa Rica regarding the presentation of Sight of Emptiness at Bloodstock Open Air UK 2007!
Costa Rica is a small democratic and peaceful country in Central America. When you think of this place, you might think tropical rainforest, stunning beaches, amazing animals and Latin rhythm. Think again! Officially this country has not had an army since 1949, but that does not count for the Army of Metal that currently exists.
Time to introduce SIGHT OF EMPTINESS. A Melodic Death Metal band from Costa Rica. The current lineup consists of Eduardo a.k.a.fILTHY (Vocals), Rodrigo (Drums), Diego (Guitar), Rafa (Guitar).
Their influences include. (Dimension Zero, Amon Amarth, Dark Tranquillity, The Black Dahlia Murder, Scar Symmetry, At the Gates, Mors Principium Est)
Officially Sight Of Emptiness have only been around since 2005. Some of the band members have been involved in the underground Metal scene for many years prior to that. "Playing Melodic Death Metal is in Costa Rica very rare, so we all know eachother. When we decided to start Sight Of Emptiness, we knew we had the right people.".
With only two years under their belt, they have managed to land some important shows. The first show was on April 17th, 2005 and with great reviews and positive energy, they were destined to continue. For their second show ever, they were hand picked to be the opening act, when one of their main influences - Dark Tranquillity, was visiting their home turf.
The band members continue to put everything aside and completely focus on their music. They have recently released the self funded CD called "Trust Is a Disease"(2007) that have received excellent reviews. The debut album contains 8 songs, "Desolation Whispers" is the first single/video, other titles are: In death State, Wall of Pain, Complex Mind, etc. This is what "fILTHY" have to say about the concept behind "Trust is a Disease" lirycs: "We are not trying to save the world, we stay away from politics, religion, I like to write about life as I see it".
After playing every bar and every corner that their home country has to offer, they are now ready to conquer the rest of the world.
When they entered the Bloodstock Unsigned Contest, they knew they had a strong following around Costa Rica, but that they would actually win over bands that came from much larger countries was a complete surprise. For the first time EVER outside of Costa Rica, Sight Of Emptiness will be playing the main stage at the Bloodstock Open Air UK 2007 on Aug 16th.
THE HATE HAS ARRIVED*-*-*BITTER THAN EVER!!!
