Defying sonic gravity with their melodically vibrant and earworming melodic metal music, Surrender in Silence is a 4-piece band beyond anything ordinary as they restore the lost glory of metal music with awe-inspiring appeal. This is the sort of band that could write about a gas station, and it would be a hit. All they need is Linda Dolan’s emotive vocals, Chris’ pounding drums, David’s electrifying guitar, and Luke’s frenetic bass to summon heaven and immerse their listeners into a world of beautiful chaos that is not devoid of vulnerable emotions.
“Darkest Before Dawn” is one such rich, powerful, emotional, and vulnerable centerpiece from Surrender in Silence, as each and every member here brings their A game for one complete performance worth coming back to.
The striking electric guitar riffs set an unmistakably metal tone as Linda’s expressive voice, which is rich with emotions, breathes life in the most delicate way possible. The pounding drums and seamless bass provide the perfect bed of support for her inflammatory vocals as she takes a listener into this alluringly beautiful experience, making “Darkest Before Dawn” an ideal mosh pit anthem.
The deeply poetic and poignant lyrics capture that feeling of emptiness, being constantly misunderstood, and the desolate feeling of being trapped in your own dark shadows. While rooted in this melancholic theme, the track comes out hopeful—the darkness being transcended as you usher in the light. As they say, it is darkest just before dawn!
A relentlessly vibrant, melodic metal that’s rich in emotions and has replay value, I like how, as it progresses, Surrender in Silence unleashes this timeless medley of electrifying riffs, thunderous drums, gratifyingly good bass, and death growls that elevate the jam to a new, higher level altogether.
To say that “Darkest Before Dawn” hits so close to home feels like an understatement. It is the kind of jam that reminds me of something I read somewhere—that nothing makes the past a sweeter place to visit than the prospect of imminent death!
Surrender in Silence’s sophomore release is an epic, memorable, and emotionally healing masterpiece that deserves to be played on repeat!
