InfluencesConceptually, The Reticent acts independently of traditional compositional processes. In other words, no particular sound, genre, or style is intentionally pursued so what is created is simply the musical interpretation of the specific emotion(s) at the moment of composition.


Musical Roots: Terry Reid, Steve Von Till, Opeth, B.B. King, Al Di Meola, Tool, Metallica (1981-1989), as well as others.

Sounds LikeMy perception is biased and irrelevant. You tell me.


Critics have suggested: Porcupine Tree, Nick Cave, Opeth, Tool, Riverside, and Leonard Cohen

   About The Reticent

Chris Hathcock got his start by honing his musical talents in metal bands such as Requiem and Wehrwolfe. Begun in 2002 officially as The Seventh Circle then subsequently undergoing the moniker change to The Reticent, it was conceived and continued as a means of coping for its founder and remains to this day a one man project. Focusing intensely on sadness and all its brethren, The Reticent is meant to purge such sorrow or torment not to glorify it. Drawing solely from life experience the lyrics and concepts behind the music are all sincere and painfully revealing. Inspired by such unique acoustic acts as Terry Reid and Steve Von Till as well as more popular groups such as Opeth, The Reticent attempts the age old art of personal expression and relinquishment of pain through its strangely hypnotic music.

2006 saw the release of the Reticent's debut effort Hymns for the Dejected, a solid release of passionate, heart-wrenching compositions that very quickly cemented the band's sound and reputation for powerful music. The effort was painstakingly self-released and promoted, quickly garnering The Reticent a following of dedicated fans with a fervor for Hathcock's emotionally driven songs and stellar musicianship. The Reticent's fanbase spans listeners of all genres of music from heavy metal to folk music, stemming from the inability of fans and critics alike to pigeonhole the band's sound. "They do remind me a lot of acoustic Tool, Opeth or maybe even Riverside. Nice job." said Steve Sly of the ProgDay Festival in Chapel Hill, NC.

Over the next two years, Hathcock laid the foundation for his sophomore effort, writing and arranging new songs. This period saw the Reticent's music taken into more progressive territory. In the spring of 2008, The Reticent entered Osceola Studios in Raleigh, NC to begin recording the new album, which would become Amor Mortem Mei Erit. Released later that summer under the banner of Heaven and Hell Records, the album met with strong reviews. Dark Harvest Records' website called it "unbelievably impressive and on another scale of musical emotion that may not have been reached before."

In this proud land we grew up strong

we were wanted all along

I was taught to fight
taught to win

I never thought I could fail.
No fight left or so it segms

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted

I've changed my face
I've changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose.

Don't give up - 'cause you have friends

Don't give up - you're not beaten yet

Don't give up - I know you can make it good.

Though I saw it all around

never thought that I could be affected

Thought that we'd be last to go

it is so strange the way things turn.
Drove the night toward my home

the place that I was Dorn on the lakeside

As daylight broke I saw the earth

the trees had burned down to the ground.

Don't give up - you still have us

Don't give up - we don't need much of anything

Don't give up
'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong.
Rest your head
you worry too much

it's going to be alright.
When times get rough you can fall back on us

Don't give up
please
don't give up!

Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore

Going to stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below.
Whatever may come and whatever may go -
That river's flowing
that river's flowing.
Moved on to another town
tried hord to settle down

For every iob so many men
so many men no one needs.

Don't give up - 'cause you have friends

Don't give up - you're not the only one

Don't give up - no reason to be ashamed

Don't give up - you still have us.
Don't give up now - we're proud of who you are

Don't give up - you know it's never been easy

Don't give up - 'cause I believe there's a place

There's a place where we belong
