(Spinfarm records) Total Time: 68:00
The third full album of the Finns Silentium can be considered as an atmospheric dramatic scene. The theatrical dialogues as well as the transmission from masculine to feminine vocals and vice versa carry away the listener to their dark journey. Their sound reminds of the widely known Scandinavian paths of the atmospheric gothic metal avoiding repeated and tiring melodies as it appears in other groups of this kind. Guitars are mainly melodic and technicalbut quite hard when necessary. Keyboards, violins, and symphonic parts play a significant role in the whole album and are considered as one of its main characteristics. This concept album can be characterized by the fact that it is comprised by 8 songs that are preceded by 8 theatrical dialogues respectively, which operate as a means to understand the story. The tracks Dark Whispers, Flame Still Burns, Winter in Silence, and The Fall are those that can be distinguished. This album has influences from bands like Therion and Tristania. If you are fun of this kind, Hamertia Of Prudence will definitely draw your attention.
