The Voice Of Nothing E.P. |
||||||
| Opensight are a four piece progressive metal band from the UK formed in 2002, releasing their debut album 'Prosthetic Soul' in 2008. The E.P. 'The Voice Of Nothing' followed in 2010... | ||||||
| ...featuring five songs of heavy, aggressive metal blended superbly with melodic, acoustic and atmospheric moments, 'The Voice Of Nothing' coming at you with chugging aggression courtesy of 'Only When'. Quickly finding its feet with an almost Pantera-like groove, 'Only When' swings this way and that, the band breaking it up with some wonderfully crafted melodic arrangements. | ||||||
| 'Former Heroes' is a heavier, more brutal song that displays traits of thrash and traditional heavy metal. During 'Former Heroes', Opensight perch an acoustic melodic breakdown right in the middle, confirming the band aren't afraid to experiment with different musical styles when writing! And with its atmospheric intro and chugging guitar riff, 'Deleted Scene' displays the incredible musicianship and very wide versatility of the band and their willingness to expand the bands sound into new and uncharted areas. | ||||||
| Picking up the tempo and energy levels, Opensight cater for the head bangers of the world with the thumping 'Absolute Truth' - the band striding quicker than at any other point heard so far! Very much in keeping with the sound of classic traditional heavy metal, 'Absolute Truth' is however, punctuated with a number of short acoustic moments. Bringing the E.P. to a close, 'Skeptic's Creed' is wonderfully crafted, containing every style of music the band have in their arsenal - from acoustic to all out heavy metal and everything in-between, Opensight showcase time shifts, tempo changes and mood swings! | ||||||
| Overall, an amazing, near growl-like vocal display, crunching guitars and powerful drumming combined with acoustic moments makes this a very impressive release. | ||||||
