OPENSIGHT starts as a solid band at the end of 2002, when the line up takes its strongest shape, the music acquires an identity of its own, and the mission of being a representative and successful metal act is taken.

Located in Colombia, South America, the band proposes an open vision towards music and lyrical content. OPENSIGHT creates a variety of sounds and textures within its music. Focusing in inspiring melodies, heaviness and the exploration of various atmospheres; the songs contain the elaborated contrasts and yet the spontaneous emotion to bring a memorable experience to the listener. The lyrical content covers from the introspective and abstract to the examination of the world and life in general, written in a versatile way that is open for interpretation and encourages the listener to be reflexive towards the subject matter exposed.
Why this name?
The name is related to open viewpoints towards everything that has to do with the band. We want freedom while writing our music and lyrics. That way we could use sounds and lyrical themes without limitations. That's what Opensight is about: Writing spontaneous songs that agree with everything that we like and are interested in.
Do you play live?
The show that the TV show "Alto Volumen"(Now gone) organized, that was bigger than usual because of the big crowd and sound quality. Also some shows in Chia and Zipaquira were great because of the crowd response and behavior. Anyway, each single show helps us in terms of experience and promotion.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It helps spreading the word about bands. People can discover great bands easier
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sure
Band History:
Our band started as a group of friends that enjoyed listening to the same kind of music. After some lineup changes the band became what it is now, with a startpoint to a less derivative and more original sound.
Your influences?
We grew up with bands like Megadeth, Testament, Iron Maiden, etc. Nowadays we're open to more music genres, but regarding metal bands maybe the following bands fit our tastes: Opeth, In Flames, Melodic Death Metal in general, Kreator, Iced Earth and Hypocrisy naming just a few. We also like other styles like classic rock, movie soundtracks, etc.
