Then Comes Silence - Then Comes Silence

A fascination of death, doom, spiritualism and corruption has gathered the members of Then Comes Silence, together with a predisposition towards post-punk, goth, shoegaze and psychedelia. I’m gonna be honest with you; at first, I didn’t really like Then Comes Silence album. When I got this death obsessed record, played it once and thought it could be one single song repeated over and over again. In one word; repetitive. Three months later, my opinion had evolved. More importantly, the band and its gothic touch have this little something that most shoegazing bands do not and may never have. This eponymous debut album from 2012 probably needs a bit of time to get into your veins. So who’s the creative force behind this? Hard to tell precisely, since the band members want to remain anonymous; they “see themselves as not important and do not want to interfere with the experience”. The presence of Alex Svenson from the brilliant band Sad Day For Puppets at the production desk gives us a clue. Then Comes Silence manages to bring darkness and romantic death together in one moment of bloody ecstasy.
