Silent Descent are a seven-piece trance metal band from Dartford, Kent. They are a very popular band in the area and have a solid fanbase and street team, also attempting to breach an international following. They have a unique original sound filling a gap in the music market which as of yet does not exist by combining melodic death metal with trance.
The band has an 11-track album ‘Duplicity’, which they have recently produced and released themselves. The track 'I Can. I Will' was entered into TotalRock Radio global unsigned band awards, and was selected by Judges to receive the "Supreme Silver" award (4th overall in the contest). In April 2008, Silent Descent came first place in the Kerrang! Radio / MCN Live unsigned competion, after being selected to play in the final and winning on both the judge and audience vote.
During the writing of the album the line up changed many times and several songs were replaced until they found a line up and track list they were happy with. Long audition processes where taken to find the perfect 7 to compliment their sound.
In June 2008, their album recieved a 9/10 review in PowerPlay magazine, and was also featured in the 'Top Releases' section. There is a forthcoming feature in Metal Hammer Magazine, including interview, due to be printed sometime in mid-2008.
Silent Descent are as effective live as they are on their album – with a huge following, no gig they play is short of being packed. They have an amazing live presence and club-style lighting and lasers separating them from any other metal band around. Having played alongside bands such as The Berzerker and Panic Cell, Silent Descent have a good reputation for being able to please huge audiences whether they be new listeners or die hard fans.

"Duplicity. Do we have room for more contagious synth melodies entwined with awesome guitar solos on top of blast beats? The answer is YES WE BLOODY HAVE and before long I found myself prowling the net for a place to get a hold of their entire album, finally having to order it from England and spending an agonizing week waiting for it to hit my mailbox.
To sample their sound, simply check out the title track "Duplicity" and you should be more or less sold. Like I said, the electronic parts are so catchy you'll be suppressing apple-picking urges for weeks after hearing them, and with the added weight of metal riffs and properly pedal-pounding drumwork, the created contrast makes you want to lose your mind: moshing, dancing and headbanging at the same time!"

“Playing an intriguing mix of melodic death metal and trance beats, Silent Descent are on a mission to pummel anything and everything in their path. Heavy, melodic and groovy, this CD rocks!” [9] Powerplay
