Silence breeds terror. Ever get the feeling you’re being watched? That someone ‘else’ is in the room? Things moving? Door’s creaking? Noises without a source? Perhaps a sudden creeping chill thru the room? Sharp odors? A rank smell?
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.
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. The four members of Then Comes Silence have chosen to remain anonymous. The members see themselves as not important and do not want to interfere with the experience. For more, come see the live performance.
However they have already made a name for themselves and have been compared to fellow swedes Silverbullit and on their first gig ever they had the honor to open for A Place To Bury Strangers (on APTBS request). You will definitely here more about Then Comes Silence.
