   About Silent Descent


When you have such a strong influence from a band or genre and you stick to practicing what made them sound good, you have already set yourself a limit. The trick is, in my opinion, to not set yourself limits, not to replicate what everyone else is playing because it made the perpetrators popular, but to experiment with sounds, genres, instruments and fuse together a sound, accompanied with lyrics, that you can call your own. Any artist will take inspiration from what they see, hear or feel on a daily basis, but there are no boundaries in music to prevent you from colouring outside the lines and maybe doing something a little more abstract to what people are used to, unless you set them yourself.

From the first time you turn on an amp in a garage to the first time you step out on stage in front of two thousand people, the sound you create is yours. If your vision you create is polished you will gain the respect you set out to find, regardless of the amounts of disrespect you have to plough through along the way. People are the harshest critics and your biggest fans.

I could take this biography to tell you about how great I think Silent Descent is, or how unique I think we are, but the truth is, I'm bored of reading band biographies as if I were a record label executive - after all, my opinion of the music isn't going to be changed by what a band writes about themselves, and nor is yours.

.. "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


“The second release from Dartford 7-piece Silent Descent is nothing short of a local masterpiece!”
