“For this forthcoming album ‘Trickery’, we had a change of deal and went full member of the Metropolis Records family. We are ready to embrace the crowd again with our heart and can’t wait to get the album out,” says frontman Alex Svenson.
Recorded by Jörgen Wall over three days at Stockholm’s Kapsylen Studio and mixed by Tom van Heesch, this album was mastered by Svante Forsbäck / Chartmakers (Rammstein, Amaranthe, Ville Valo, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica).
These sessions capture the heart and essence of rock. With electronic elements being essential to the new recordings, ‘Trickery’ is also a salute to punk music, to which Then Comes Silence traces their roots.

Alex Svenson founded Then Comes Silence in 2012, originally inspired by frequent touring with A Place To Bury Strangers and an attraction to horror and the occult. Drummer Jonas Fransson and Hugo Zombie (Los Carniceros del Norte) on guitar, round out the three-piece.
Then Comes Silence has toured and played live with The Fields of the Nephilim, The Chameleons, A Place To Bury Strangers and most recently with The Bellwether Syndicate and Vision Video.
