Got in contact with singer Rachel some weeks ago, and after receiving the album End Of An Era, I have listened many many times to this great band from Malta. Weeping Silence is a special band that stands forward very interesting musically compared to all other female fronted bands that comes up today. Musically they are hard to describe, but you will after spinning the album some times notice a progressive rock/metal touch blended with gothic metal, symphonic rock/metal and with some hints of romantic doom metal. The music get me into a good mood and have a substance and creativeness that I miss from many bands today. The six songs has a playing time of 43 minutes, where four of the songs is about ten minutes long. The cover artwork is really delicate and I also like the lyrical themes on the disc. The album opens with a short mystic intro called Mourning Reign, that leads us to the interesting ten minute long Deep Regret. I get a good feel from the start here with Rachel..s clear strong vocals. A haunting melody and the different switches musically in this song is awsome from a gothic metal oriented style to progressive parts. The musical landscape is filled with good harmonies and a stunning atmosphere that you will love after some rounds in the player. The instrumentation is delicate with a lot of cool details on the keys, guitars, and I feel the musicians eminently manage to bring forward something own! Tell Me Why opens emotional and beautiful, a short delicate instrumental part lead the way to the first verse with Rachel..s beautiful fragile voice. The vocal melody and the mood they manage to bring forward is awesome and just great to listen to. The floating keys and each of the band members bring great instrumental details to the music that make the song interesting and entertaining. The song reach its absolute top round the chorus parts with singing from Rachel that will go right in your heart. Crystal Images opens symphonic with keys and Rachel..s voice. The song changes to a darker gothic beautiful mood after one minute and thirty seconds. Throughout we are taken through many different parts from the brittle, fragile, beautiful to the darker more progressive and metal oriented. The beautiful guitar solo after six and a half minute, and also the piano and vocal lines give me a good feel and for each time I hear the songs on this album the better they gets! Darkness In My Heart opens dark and heavy, but changes when the vocals enters the song to a more progressive fragile style. A strong song with great keys and the different vocal lines throughout is just perfect and take the song to a top level! Also in this we are served many great instrumental details that will keep you entertained and interested. The last song the title track End Of An Era is a short beautiful mystic song that make a perfect ending to this fabulous album from Weeping Silence. After getting to know their songs on End Of An Era, I can..t hardly wait to hear what they manage to create next time. So if you..re looking for something that stands out in the crowd of female fronted bands you have to check out Weeping Silence!
