Costa Rica's Sight Of
Emptiness Nominated For
Two ACAM Awards
Costa Rica-based melodic
death metallers SIGHT OF
EMPTINESS have been
nominated in two
categories at this
year's ACAM Awards,
which will be held on
May 26. ACAM (Asociacion
de Compositores y
Autores Musicales de
Costa Rica) is the
equivalent of ASCAP in
the USA.
One of SIGHT OF
EMPTINESS' nominations
comes as a big surprise:
the band is nominated in
the "Artist Of Greatest
International Exposure
2007" category alongside
two other Costa Rican
acts — the jazz ensemble
SWING EN 4 and the Latin
pop band ESCATS. This is
the first time ever a
metal band has been
nominated in this
category.
SIGHT OF EMPTINESS'
other nomination is in
the "Best Metal Album
2007" category for its
debut CD, "Trust is a
Disease".
Commented the band: "We
are extremely honored,
and of course, surprised
to be nominated, not
only in one category,
but two! Finally, people
in Costa Rica and the
world are taking notice,
we are a band to watch
out for. We have big
goals and this
nomination really helps
to remind us that we are
on the right way. Expect
a new album of extreme
melodic metal without
fillers."
"Wall of Pain", the new
video from SIGHT OF
EMPTINESS, can be viewed
below. The clip was
filmed by Niclas
Swanlund during SIGHT OF
EMPTINESS' performance
on the main stage at
last year's Bloodstock
Open Air festival. |
