Clean-up Needed
The text currently on this page needs further work. It was most likely imported or reproduced from a website associated with the subject of the page - possibly through a process involving far-from-perfect machine translation, often with awkward results. It is awaiting the attention of an experienced M3P editor, which could be you. It may be slightly out of date, or may need other elements taken care of appropriately, including proofreading or copy-editing for grammar and style.
Weeping Silence has been in the metal scene since the mid-1990s & has gone through a period of musical experimentation that contributed to the dynamic music that it has produced so far. The band came together with the release of the debut EP ‘Deprived from Romance’, followed by a track in the ‘Arch Music’ compilation. Subsequently the musical direction & line-up changed considerably, & Weeping Silence sought new ideas from the doom, gothic & avant-garde genres.
Weeping Silence (WS) recorded the second release (1st full-length) ‘End of an Era’ at Temple Studios featuring Rachel Grech on vocals, & released it in 2008 under the Greek Record Label Sleaszy Rider Records. ‘End of an Era’ was well received & regularly gets excellent reviews across the world.
In the period 2006-2008 WS entered the studios again to record the 2nd full-length album ‘Theater of Life’, which retains many elements of the previous album, but with a faster pace & the introduction of a choir accompanied with grandeur orchestrations. The album was released via Ravenheart Music Records in May 2011. The band was rewarded with good press in websites & several plays on metal radio stations. The track ‘Dark Waters’ off this album was also voted first in the EKR A-List People’s Choice Poll in July 2011, & Theatre of Life was nominated for Best Album in the Metal Storm Webzine 2011 Awards. In summer of 2010 the band played a UK tour in the midlands, namely in Bradford, Manchester & Birmingham with UK metallers To-Mera & Asomvel, amongst others. Over the years WS has appeared on-stage at several festivals & concerts, including the XMA, FEM Fest, Malta Doom Metal Fest & others. In 2012 WS signed with LimeLight Prod. for booking & promotion mainly in Benelux. Expect live appearances in this region soon.
Weeping Silence features, amongst others, on the compilations ‘Des Filles et des Riffs, Vol.1’ (2010) & ‘Vol.2’ (2011) released by Savage Productions & distributed by Seasons of Mist, featuring Epica, Diabolo Swing Orchestra, Kells, To-Mera, Tristania & more.
WS entered the studio once more in end-2011 & 2012 to record the most recent material for the 3rd full-length album ‘For the Unsung’, which also features male vocals. The latest songs are more aggressive, though with a doom-orientation. It should still, however, retain the atmosphere for which the band has become strongly associated with. The recording is re-amped, mixed & mastered by Brett Caldas Lima at Tower Studios (Samael, Cynic etc) & features Anders Jacobsson (Draconian) as guest vocalist; with album artwork by Darkgrove. A pro-video for the song ‘Love Lies Bleeding’ was released in September 2012.
