SPIRITS FLOW - is the teaser from the forthcoming second album THEN COMES SILENCE II.
About
A four piece band formed in 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden. The follow-up Then Comes Silence II due out October 23 on Novoton
Biography
Pretty much what four musicians can do with guitars making horror music.
A fascination of death, doom, spiritualism and corruption has gathered the
members of THEN COMES SILENCE, together with a predisposition towards
noiserock, goth, shoegaze and psychedelia. The band brings darkness and
romantic death via music and sounds, performed on guitars at deafening
volume. Cathartic, distorted and effect-laden.
This fall will see the release of their self-titled debut and the unleash of dark
forces.
As humans, we have been carrying the culture of fear and horror since ancient
times. In folklore and stories. A trip through desolated grounds or a night in the
woods can easily bring those ancient premonitions back to life. Our comfortable
modern lifestyle makes us isolated and afraid of death. It makes us avoid the
things that remind us of it. A fear of the unknown. What we cannot see nor
understand.
Description
Sweden's captains of thundering postpunk, noisy psychadelica and dreamy goth-gaze are back in the same pitchblack waters as before. As follow up to the self titled debut, the quartet now presents Then Comes Silence II. The fascination for doom, darkness, death and the ghastly and terrible is intact and the band navigate a steady course towards the same destination.
The debut album from 2012 attracted attention widely and was praised for its apocalyptic message and dystopian soundscape.
That same year, Then Comes Silence were requested to be the opening act for A Place to Bury Strangers for their Stockholm visit, the first live-appearance for the Stockholm quartet. This was followed by a performance at the prestigious Roskilde Festival in Denmark. All in all an eventful journey in less than one year.
The work on the sequel began as the debut was still hot off the presses. In a short time span, the band had to undergo some serious changes as two members left the group. After this alteration and intense sessions, the result is on the horizon.
As before, the singer and bassist Alex Svenson (Sad Days for Puppets) is the main composer. This time Svenson has achieved something even more black and gritty than the debut album. Anna Eklund (Sad Day for Puppets) also returns in the duet and single "She Lies in Wait".
