Vancouver
progressive virtuosos OmnisighT will be kicking off 2017 with the release of
their new EP 'Power of One' on January 20th to follow their 2016 live album
'Live At The Theatre'. OmnisighT are
influenced by greats like Soundgarden, Dream Theater, Meshuggah, Tool, and
Faith No More, but transcend their influences to become very much their own
creation. Justifiably highly regarded for their musicianship and finely wrought
song-craft, OmnisighT bring progressive metal into new dimensions.
“I think our guitar player fans will really like the new
EP. I think fans of the songs will also
be pleased with the thoughtful lyrics. I’m questioning the status quo. The song
‘Power of One’ is about how one person can make a difference in the world
around them just with knowledge and a little spiritual balance. The album as a
whole is a musical journey, there is the concept of standing up to the
oppression and deceptions of the ruling class.” comments vocalist/guitarist Raj
Krishna.

About:
Known for their formidable musicianship, virtuosic guitar
solos and powerful songs, OmnisighT is masterfully blurring the lines between
melodic hard rock and progressive metal. Beginning as collaboration between
vocalist/guitarist Raj Krishna and drummer Chris Warunki, they created the
impressive ‘Path’ debut album in 2012. Their live line-up was consolidated with
the addition of Dave Shannon on bass and guitarist Blake Rurik. ‘Path’ was
followed up by the 2013 ‘Wave Particle’ EP.
Like all truly visionary musicians, band co-founder Raj was
driven to create unique music. “I’ve been writing and singing songs since I was
a little kid. We never seemed to hear heavy prog music that had shredding and
hooks at the same time. It always seems you get one or the other….Having
technical musicianship with good song-writing, shredding licks, and big hooks
was the whole idea.”
Raj sums up OmnisighT’s music thusly: ‘Proggy, hooky,
shredding, sad, and powerful!’
While Raj is justifiably proud of OmnisighT’s recorded
output, he sees the importance of performance. ‘Live is where the band really
shines! We put on a show, running around smiling and shredding. The band plays
with more intensity…we often give the headliners a run for their money.’
