SIGHT OF EMPTINESS: New Album Samples, Artwork Unveiled

June 10, 2009

Costa Rica-based melodic extreme metal band SIGHT OF EMPTINESS has posted two new songs — "Predictable Tragedy" and "Burning Silence" — on the group's web site. Both tracks come off SIGHT OF EMPTINESS' second album, "Absolution of Humanity", which is expected to be released later in the year via an as-yet-undetermined record label. The CD was mastered by Jens Bogren (OPETH, AMON AMARTH, SOILWORK, BLOODBATH, KATATONIA, SYMPHONY X) at Örebro, Sweden's Fascination Street Studios.

Commented the group: "Having Jens Bogren working on our new album is unreal. He is responsible for numerous masterpieces: OPETH's 'Watershed', AMON AMARTH's 'Twilight of the Thunder God' and KATATONIA's 'The Great Cold Distance'. Having him on board makes us a lot more excited about our new creation; you can't go wrong with a guy like this. We gave him the green light and he is doing an awesome job; we love this guy already. He is a perfectionist and an honest and humble lad."

"Absolution of Humanity" track listing:

01. Predictable Tragedy
02. Infected
03. Faceless Dream
04. Witness of your Murder
05. Funeral March
06. The Art of Suffering
07. Judge me today...Die Tomorrow
08. Absolution of Humanity
09. Burning Silence

The cover artwork was created by Costa Rican artist Pablo Vargas and can be viewed below.
