Costa Rica's SIGHT OF EMPTINESS Nominated For Two ACAM Awards

May 9, 2008

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.
