ARTIFICIAL SILENCE

Artificial Silence biography
ARTIFICIAL SILENCE is a band founded in Lakewood, Washington, USA in 2010, formerly known as JON HEARTBREAK, and consisting of Joe CRANDALL, Nabil FADILI, Rylie NELSON and Austin SCHEND. The band members all play various instruments, and are still trying to figure out how to credit which musicians played which instruments on their hour long prog rock/prog metal concept album 'Negative Space' - the result of almost six years of work, solely as a passion project, which was released on April 13, 2018. It features a real choir throughout, a small orchestra on track 8, along with individual guest soloists here and there.

Much of the album was written back in 2012 as the band members were all exiting high school and moving on with their lives, and it sat on the shelf until late 2016, when they decided to commit to finishing it. The story revolves around a young girl who has passed away. This is revealed in the beginning, and as the album goes on we hear about the circumstances of the events leading up to her death from the perspectives of various people in her life.

Fans of bands like DREAM THEATER, THE REIGN OF KINDO, or NATIVE CONSTRUCT will hopefully find something to enjoy here.
