To celebrate the release of the gargantuan, ambitious “Mondo Fiction: The Director’s Cut,” Colombian Progsters Opensight have unveiled a stunning new video for the track “The Great Silence.” Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
“Filming “The Great Silence” was a blast! We were able to capture how much we enjoy playing – and also had the chance to get back at our vocalist by re-enacting the torture scene from Reservoir Dogs with him as the victim! Referencing some iconic crime films was perfect for the song. People will also get some ideas of the inner band relationships and other activities we do outside of the musical dimension of the band.” – Opensight
Opening with the dramatic fanfare of “In Here With Us,” Metal innovators Opensight’s last album, “Mondo Fiction,” resplendent in its Solo Macello (Ennio Morricone, Ghost, High On Fire) artwork , is a glorious love letter to the silver screen; in particular the imagination, the thrills, the grand guignol of genre cinema and grindhouse films. Each song on this fantastic, fantastical release takes listeners on a journey through the worlds of vintage crime, classic westerns, horror and mystery from the cinematic vault. From dark alleyways to haunted graveyards via glamorous parties, seedy bars and vast deserts decorated in towering cacti and sun-bleached cow skulls, “Mondo Fiction” takes you there.
And now it’s time to buy another ticket to ride on this train of dreams, as Opensight unveil “Mondo Fiction, The Director’s Cut.” Hugely expanded, with an array of atmospheric instrumental versions of album tracks this is the ultimate version of the “Mondo Fiction” thrill ride! The illusions that Opensight weave are created not simply by song lyrics, but through the adventurous music, which embraces the sounds and styles of each cinematic world they visit – so these new instrumental tracks offer a genuinely exciting new take on the “Mondo Fiction” songs. Engineered and mixed by Will Maya (Breed 77, The Answer, The Heretic Order) each vibrant element of these meticulously crafted tracks can be appreciated to the full. This new version of “Mondo Fiction” armed, is dangerous and stopping for no one!
