We got a nice new review in the November issue of famous Metal Hammer Magazin!!!May 2009
Order our debut album Second Sight via this page!!! Find a review in the HEAVY magazin or under Underground-Empire. A new review for Second Sight is available via www.metal-inside.de. Search for 2nd Sight.
Our style is quite a mixture of melodic metal and rock music with the focus on being special and not comparable to anyone. We always try to be catchy as well as sophisticated in our songs and present those in a high energy stage performance.
The first two gigs were done as Sons Of Cain but that name did not really fit to our musical identity and therefore we decided to change into 2nd Sight.
In early October, only a few days after the album was done, Paco Gomez joined the band but moved back to Spain a few months later.

SBo
Influences:
Blackmore, Reale, Friedman, MurrayHobbies:
Music, Sports“I started playing classical guitar in my youth, short after I turned into the electrical guitar and heavier music. From the very beginning I played with Christopher, the drummer of Rüdiger’s and my longtime band Fallacy (later Paradigm Shift).
Our music at that time was a quite complicated mixture of classical Thrash Metal (Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Riot) and the stuff (progressive-) metal bands played in the 80's (Iron Maiden, Fates Warning, etc.).
In 2003 we decided to close the chapter Paradigm Shift. Now, to me 2nd Sight is the attempt to create music with new guys, that possesses melodic and harmonic freedom and reaches the listeners, but at the same time stays interesting from a musical point as well.”
Personal top ten:
1. Slayer – “Seasons In The Abyss”2. Jethro Tull – “Minstrel In The Gallery”
3. Riot – “The Privilege Of Power”
4. Fates Warning – “The Spectre Within”
5. Genesis – “Selling England By The Pound”

Alex Tabisz
Influences:
Iron Maiden, Dream Theater, Stratovarius, Metallica, PanteraHobbies:
Music“I started playing drums in the early nineties, only jamming around with a few people in the beginning which soon led to be my first band called Up Send Minded. After this band split up I joined Arctic Fields and recorded two E.P.`s with 'em. I was involved in some projects as well at that time.
In Summer 2008 I joined Scottish metal act Alestorm as a session drummer for their festival season and played the Wacken Open Air, Graspop, the Metal Camp and other big festivals in Europe.
Since January 2005 I play drums in 2nd Sight.”

Rüdiger Beissert
Influences:
Life itselfHobbies:
Music, sports, going out“I started playing keyboards at the age of 14 switching to the guitar very soon for I really was into Metallica and Megadeth and wanted to play those songs.
About two years later I met SBo and we started our first band Fallacy, which emerged into Paradigm Shift a few years later. Unfortunately we never got a proper vocalist so I placed myself behind the mic.
With the founding of 2nd Sight I decided to concentrate completely on vocals. My main influences are based in the classical rock and metal scene including Bruce Dickinson, John Arch, Geoff Tate and Dio as well as Klaus Meine and Kai Hansen.
But I also have to mention Lou Gramm, Steve Perry, Meat Loaf and Dan McCafferty to name just a few …I also sing in a cover band called Metal Meltdown.”
