All right… that’s it, I had enough of boring, going nowhere intros that really don’t contribute to anything on an album more than to name it a track just to make the play list a little longer! Ok I had to get that out of my chest before I began this review, so let’s begin.

Just between “Terminal Spirit Disease” and “Slaughter of the Soul”, I know that’s a pretty high standard of comparison for such a young band, but I do believe that’s where this local band is, if you were looking for a general perspective that is!

There is some sort of “romanticisms” in the way the crudeness of speed and aggression can blend with melodic catchy riffs, and detonate with a little help of some hellish vocal performance, that’s why the more “die hard” metal fans don’t like a lot of melodic vocals on their metal (unless we are talking about power, speed or doom off course), because for some reason all the aggression can be lost when guitar melodies overlap sweet comforting vocals, well that’s not the case with Sight of Emptiness, Filthy’s incredible aggression and plain annihilation of his vocal cords, deliver a Lindberg effect on the album, you know he has that capacity of jumping genres and performing as a mix of death and black metal without one noticing anymore the line that splits the two genres apart.

There is no doubt that “Trust is a Disease” is one of the best albums ever released by a Costarrican band, but there are a lot of things that can and should be fixed before we start claiming our place in the world scene, for starters, we NEED a better recording studio, and it’s not like we don’t have good equipment or locations, the problem is that we don’t have experienced sound engineers, or producers, that’s why Sight of Emptiness sounds at some points void, great songs like “Desolation Whispers” deserved a thicker guitar, but instead they got this bleak raw sound that diminishes the entire impact of the song.

The album is what melodic death metal should be, and why it have become one of the fastest most seductive genres in metal nowadays, its catchy but still violent, is talented metal period.
