Review:

Weeping Silence from Malta have a long history, stretching back to the 90’s, releasing an album in 2000. It’s taken eight years to release this, their second, during which time they have undergone many changes. Vocalist Rachel Grech has a truly magnificent voice, a mix of Marcela Bovio from Stream of passion and Sharon Den Adel of Within Temptation. ****

After a short spooky intro, there follows four beautiful, dreamy songs that rise and fall, rise and fall like the sea, over the course of about 10 minutes each, full of other worldly moodiness and splendour. I listened to this on a Sunday morning, and this proved to be perfect to relax and chill out to, after a stressful week I felt at peace with the world. The only criticism is the rather trebly rhythm guitar sound in the heavier passages, but the musicianship is superb, with lovely guitar work and atmospheric keys. ****

Copies are available on EBay and on Sleaszy Rider web store

They have another album in the can and are looking for a label; they deserve to have companies beating down the door to sign them.

8.5 out of 10.
