Australian Power Metal Sensations Silent
Knight
Release Crushing New Single Dark & Mysterious Times
Album Full Force out September 23rd
Australian Power
Metal Sensations Silent Knight just released their crushing new single Dark
& Mysterious Times. This hot new offering is the ultimate
display of high-calibre power metal, showcasing impressive vocal range,
momentous riffage, and a high-stakes sense of pace to take the listener along
for the ride until its harrowing end.
Thematically the
track explores powerful themes of sorcery and sacrifice complete with visuals
featuring a sorceress who meets her fatal end and returns as a prisoner. True to
Silent Knight's signature style, Dark & Mysterious Times is an
onslaught of power metal riffage combined with thrash metal precision and the
result is a thunderous wall of sound bolstering mellifluous melodicism.
Vocalist Dan
Brittain showcases his range with fiery soprano belts delivering infectious
melodies over the heavy instrumentation. Dark & Mysterious Times is Silent
Knight's last offering before the release of their third full length album Full
Force on Friday 23rd September. The music for this track was
written by guitarist Stuart McGill in collaboration with Dan Brittain for his
solo album prior to him joining Silent Knight. The band then decided to
resurrect and tailor it a little more to its power metal leanings when writing
for the record.
Brittain on the new
release: “The background story with the lyrics is reminiscent of an ancient,
sci-fi theme. It centres around some sort of diabolical sorceress practicing
human sacrifice to discover the keys to whatever insane outcome she is seeking.
However, she instead returns from her death as a slave.”
Following a
succession of highly acclaimed releases, Silent Knight toured nationally and
internationally with heavyweights such as Dragonforce, Korpiklaani, Turilli
Lione Rhapsody, Helloween, David Ellefson, Zakk Wylde’s Black Label Society,
Ross The Boss (Manowar) and secured festivals slots at Hammersonic Festival,
Indonesia, November Rain Festival, Indonesia and Headbangers Open Air Festival,
Germany. With the release of Full Force on the horizon, Silent
Knight are primed to take over the heavy music realm within Australia &
beyond.
About Silent Knight
"After
what feels like forever, here we are with album number 3, Full
Force!" Guitarist Stu McGill explains:
"This
album is everything we set out to do when we started Silent Knight, it’s the
perfect blend of melody & aggression and we were sure to include all your
favourite things like huge catchy choruses, ripping guitar solos and breakneck
speed from the very first note to the last. Oh yeah and we also have a new
vocalist named Dan who has a power falsetto straight from hell! Thanks for your
patience, we know you’ll agree that it was worth the wait. If you have enjoyed
any of our previous work, we know that you will absolutely love
Full Force!"
