Then Comes Silence is a Swedish musical group, formed in 2012 in Stockholm.[1] The music draws inspiration from horror and spiritism and is influenced by post-punk and goth.[2][3][1][4][5][6][7]

Band history[edit]

The band came together in 2012. They released three albums on the Novoton label: Their debut self-titled album Then Comes Silence and its follow-up, Then Comes Silence II.[8] On March 13, 2015, the band released their third album, Nyctophilian, also under the Novoton label.

In 2016, the group signed a contract with the German record label Nuclear Blast, and on October 20, 2017, they released their fourth full-length album, Blood.[9]

The fifth album, Machine, was released on March 13, 2020, the same day much of Europe entered lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The band performed at the Roskilde Festival in 2013[10] and regularly tours in Europe. In 2018, Then Comes Silence opened for Fields of The Nephilim and Chameleons Vox.[10][11]
