THE BEAST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu-Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover)

Costa Rica’s long-reigning metal force, Sight of Emptiness, returns with a powerful and deeply personal release: a reimagined cover of “Break Stuff,” the iconic anthem by Limp Bizkit . Dropping March 25th, this version is more than a tribute. It’s a full-force statement from a band that has spent two decades carving its own path through the global metal underground.

Blending Nu Metal intensity with Groove Metal weight, Sight of Emptiness injects their signature sonic identity into the track while honoring the raw energy that defined an era. Fans of Deftones , Korn , and Limp Bizkit will find themselves right at home in this explosive reinterpretation.

Originally conceived as a passion project celebrating the golden age of late ‘90s and early 2000s metal, the release took on deeper meaning following the passing of Sam Rivers in 2025. What began as homage evolved into a heartfelt, posthumous tribute, honoring Rivers’ influence and the sonic blueprint that continues to inspire generations.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by acclaimed producer Thomas "Plec" Johansson (known for his work with Opeth and Soilwork ) at Bohus Studio in Sweden, the track strikes a rare balance between old-school authenticity and modern precision. The result is a version of “Break Stuff” that feels both nostalgic and urgently relevant.

Sight of Emptiness brings serious pedigree to the table. Over a 20-year independent career, they’ve released five albums, toured globally from Iceland to Japan, and shared stages with heavyweights like Testament , In Flames , Arch Enemy , Behemoth , Nightwish , Dimmu Borgir , Dark Tranquillity , and Machine Head . They’ve ignited crowds at Bloodstock Open Air and made history as the first Central American band to perform on the 70000 Tons of Metal .

On their home turf, they’ve supported legends such as Black Sabbath , Slayer , Megadeth , and Amon Amarth , cementing their status as Costa Rica’s premier metal export.

The band shares:

“Seeing Limp Bizkit play our home soil confirmed that recording this track was the right move. The emotions from that live experience reaffirmed the power of these anthems today—they feel fresher and more necessary than ever. It’s about catharsis. You get that release through music without actually having to act it out. Why did we do it? Why not? It’s a necessary purge.”

Far from a carbon-copy cover, this version of “Break Stuff” channels the chaos, brotherhood, and emotional release that defined a generation—while pushing it forward with modern firepower.
