Story of 156/Silence

Silence, the Pittsburgh metalcore quintet, exploded onto the scene in 2015. Their initial sonic assault, the *Unrequited, Unrefuted, and Undeniably - Im Alone* EP, laid the groundwork for their 2016 debut full-length, *And Everything Was Beautiful*. However, a significant lineup overhaul preceded their 2018 release, *Undercover Scumbag*, marking a pivotal shift in the bands trajectory. This reinvigorated Silence went on to unleash Irrational Pull in 2020 and Narrative in 2022, solidifying their place in the metalcore landscape.

Their 2024 album, People Watching, represents a powerful evolution, showcasing a heavier, more distinctly metalcore sound, a departure from their earlier hardcore roots. Tragically, the band announced the unexpected passing of bassist Lukas Booker in March 2025. Despite this devastating loss, Silence bravely committed to their upcoming tour supporting Silent Planet and Invent Animate, a testament to their resilience and dedication to their music and fans.
