Then Comes Silence – Trickery

Prepare to be ensnared by the haunting melodies and hypnotic rhythms of Then Comes Silence‘s latest full-length album, “Trickery.” From the cobblestone streets of Stockholm emerges a sonic masterpiece that transcends the boundaries of genre, weaving together elements of goth, post-punk, and darkwave into a profoundly intricate sonic landscape. Recorded with painstaking precision by the esteemed Jörgen Wall at Stockholm’s renowned Kapsylen Studio and flawlessly mixed by the incomparable Tom van Heesch, “Trickery” represents the culmination of years of dedication, experimentation, and artistic evolution. Each track exemplifies their unyielding commitment to delivering outstanding compositions, with every chord, every beat, and every whisper of feedback crafted carefully to perfection.

From the foreboding depths of the opening track, “Ride Or Die,” to the transcendent heights of the epic finale, “Ghost Magic,” “Trickery” takes listeners on a journey through the darkest cavities of the human psyche. With Hugo Zombie’s evocative guitar work, Jonas Fransson’s thunderous drumming, and Alex Svenson’s impressive vocals, Then Comes Silence conjures a hauntingly familiar and utterly original sound. But “Trickery” is more than just an album. It brings to the table all the power of music to transcend boundaries and unite souls. Through their sound, Then Comes Silence celebrates the beauty of friendship, the strength of unity, and the transformative power of belonging to a tribe—a sentiment that resonates deeply in an era defined by division and discord.

As the album unfolds, each track reveals new layers of depth and complexity, from the pulsating rhythms of “Like A Hammer” to the shimmering beauty of “Runners.” With its hypnotic melodies, atmospheric soundscapes, and thought-provoking lyrics, “Trickery” invites listeners to submerge themselves in a dark, misty, haunting world where the lines between reality and fantasy blur and shift. “Trickery” exemplifies Then Comes Silence’s artistic expression. It is a reminder that, in a world shrouded in darkness, there is beauty to be found in the shadows, and solace to be found in the music that unites us all. So let these Swedish goth rockers be your guide. The album is available on all streaming platforms. Don’t miss it!
