Silencer
SILENCER have just released their long awaited first full-length album, entitled Death of Awe on Mausoleum records, displaying a brutal progression in their forward looking modern thrash sound. Tracked both at Valkyrie Studios and Flatline Audio in Denver CO, Death of Awe is the most complex and aggressive offering SILENCER has recorded to date. Higher levels of aggression, melody and structure mark the 37 minute, 11 song foray into the future of American thrash.
SILENCER have carved themsevles a niche in the worldwide metal underground on the strength of past releases. These include 2000’s Kozmos EP and 2002’s Structures EP, the latter of which was picked up by Italy’s Adrenaline/Steelheart records for European distribution in 2003 under the title Found on the Sun. It also featured a new track, back catalog favorites & rarities forming the perfect collection of early era SILENCER for European fans, including the guitar work of Ritchie Wilkison (ANGEL DUST) on the Structures material. US fans currently find Found on the Sun available via The End Records mailorder.
Press from all reaches has been overwhelmingly positive towards the evolving SILENCER sound, including staple magazines as Metal Maniacs, Rock Hard, Brave Words & Bloody Knuckles, Terrorizer and the many more legions of fan magazines and webzines. This coupled with the band’s strong work ethic (SILENCER have toured the United States since 2000 promoting each of their releases, including three primetime main stage appearances at Milwaukee Metalfest, The Chicago Powerfest, and many more signature and regional events) has created an underground buzz that will only increase with vicious devastation Death of Awe will unleash.
