Cry For Silence The Glorious Dead
Visible Noise Records January 30, 2008, 01:23 AM   7.30am on your way to work with your mum driving maybe isnt the best time to pop Cry For Silence in the CD player for a quick listen! Be ready for an onslaught of British hardcore metal, to literally pierce your eardrums and engulf your surroundings! Mine being at that precise time was a 3 door Corsa
mmmmm cosy!!
Watford is home for this 5 piece; it was the local frenzy they caused from a couple of shows that pushed them to get their material on record. There is a heavy intensity brooding across the whole of this debut album, which follows in the footsteps of numerous demo releases and EPs. Hidden beneath the extreme hardcore vocals of Adam Pettit, is some serious drumming, and Alex Venturella supplies some quality uplifting riffs on lead guitar. None does it work better than on Some Kind of Wonderful, when every aspect of the band comes together perfectly.
Pettit definitely matches his peers, for angst and urgency in his voice, and he is duly supported by some fine musicians, who shine on the instrumental Beneath the Storm. Having previously toured with the likes of My Chemical Romance and Funeral For A Friend, Cry For Silence certainly deserve their time to wreak havoc!
