Sight Of Emptiness

Costa Rica's finest metal export return with their new album: ‘REDEMPTION’ - "A new chapter for the future of metal. Subversive, provocative, and deep for your senses. Upload your mind to this seductive soundtrack. The year is 2045, welcome to the afterlife. The REDEMPTION of your emotions will set you free, lay your lost soul into a post-fury-road dimension… Are you in?" Available, July 16th.

Produced & Mixed by Thomas "Plec" Johansson @ Multi-Grammy, Gold & Platinum Award Winning Mixing/Mastering Studio, The Panic Room, Skövde, Sweden. (Soilwork, Watain, Mayhem, Scar Symmetry).

“Some say, everything has already been created in music, well, the band strongly disagree, coming from Costa Rica, an exotic and unique country... you'll find Sight of Emptiness music taking you to an eccentric, obscure deep journey, you won’t find anywhere else. They don’t follow trends, they just follow their instincts.

Officially Sight of Emptiness has been around since 2005, and they have managed to land some important shows locally and internationally; handpicked by the following bands to open their shows in Costa Rica: Black Sabbath, Slayer, Megadeth, Amon Amarth. Dark Tranquillity At the Gates, Obituary, Accept, and much more.

Also, Sight of Emptiness was honored to be invited to play at the Grand Opening Week of the New National Stadium in Costa Rica & the almighty Bloodstock Festival in the UK in 2007 (Main Stage) & 2012 (Sophie Lancaster Stage).

The band joined forces with Canadian technical death masters Gorguts, Brazilian kings of violence, Krisiun, and the UK's new sensation Bloodshot Dawn for a tour in Japan in November 2014 as part of Extreme Metal Over Japan third edition.

To promote their third album: “Instincts”, the band embarked on a European tour consisting of shows in the UK, Spain, Portugal & Iceland.

“Instincts” also featured guest appearances by Glen Drover (Ex-Megadeth), Christian Älvestam (Ex-Scar Symmetry), Ralph Santolla (Ex-Deicide), Whitfield Crane (Ugly Kid Joe), Ole Halvard Sveen (Extol), Manuel Obregón (Costa Rican Minister of Culture).
