Costa Rica-based melodic extreme metallers SIGHT OF EMPTINESS were honored in the "Best Metal Album" category at the ACAM Awards, for their second album, Absolution of Humanity (2010). The ACAM Awards were held on May 31st at the Auditorio del Museo de los Niños in San Jose, Costa Rica.
ACAM (Asociacion de Compositores y Autores Musicales de Costa Rica) is the equivalent of ASCAP in the USA.

Commented the band: "We are extremely honored, people in Costa Rica and the world are taking notice; we are a band to watch out for. We have big goals and this award really helps to remind us that we are on the right way and let us keep promoting this new album within our country and overseas. Two years ago we won in the category "Artist Of Greatest International Exposure", wining over a jazz and a latin pop band, first time for a metal band achieving that award."
Four songs — 'Burning Silence', 'Predictable Tragedy', 'Infected' and 'Faceless Dream' — have been posted on the group's official MySpace page.
