Silent Line

Shattered Shores

self-release

release: 30 October 2015

Hey, people into Dark Tranquillity and Insomnium, here is a band from Canada that executes the "melodic death metal" style to perfection! You are going to be either amazed or at least pleasantly surprised by the quality of the songs.

If you like modern melodic metal like the two bands mentioned above, I think you should definitely give your attention to this album. It sounds to me like they have worked hard to deliver the best possible work that they can. This is not a demo. It is a self-release, but don't let that discourage you or fool you. Just because a corporation is not supporting the band, it does not mean that they necessarily are bad quality.

This album has been out for a little while now. I have heard it several times and the energy of the music comes across clearly. Who is this band? Read the bio below and find out.

BIO

Brace yourself for Silent Line; they produce heavy and melodic music with an orchestral flair rooted in death metal. The band hails from Bonnyville, Alberta, and the members decided to step outside of their small town trappings -- they wanted to continue to create aggressive music and play live. The members of Silent Line have been friends since high school, and that has allowed them to collaborate on writing and composing their signature brand of death-infused melodic metal seamlessly over the years.

Their previous album, 'Born of A Dying Star' led them to discover their true sound and refine it so that the music that they create now embodies what they have envisioned. Their dedication to their craft is strengthened by their loyal fans, who have supported their development over the years. The band is composed of Mike Burton leading the charge on guitar and vocals, Randy Bergh writing pummeling guitar riffs, Andy Sidloski crafting driving bass lines, and Adam Kallstrom thundering on drums. The line up charges audiences with their energy and fills the entire room with its symphonious melodies.

They are releasing their 2015 full-length ‘Shattered Shores’, which happens to be a concept album. The title track is split into two parts, and throughout the album several thematic riffs and lyrics are repeated, creating a motif for listeners. The title references being stranded and trapped forever as the shores become more eroded and the reality of isolation sets in. The lyrics revolve around the themes of overcoming hardships, anxiety, and “weathering the storm” in order to persevere. A single person is referred to throughout the album and everything is told from their point of view as they wander, stuck on the island -- unsure of how they got there, and unsure if they will ever leave.
