(Photo by Haris Mlivic) The Swedish post-punk act Then Comes Silence, have just released “Chain”, the new single and accompanying video from their forthcoming sixth studio album entitled “Hunger”.
In the post-Covid world, Then Comes Silence’s Alex Svenson recently opined, “what is the point of writing songs about the apocalypse and the inescapable future that’s drenched in darkness, when the media already do it better? Instead, with our new album ‘Hunger’, we give you the light.”
Then Comes Silence brought in some extra guest musicians to assist with the new mterial such as William Faith (Faith and the Muse, Bellwether Syndicate) and Swedish musician Niklas Rundquist (who worked with Leather Nun in the 1980’s).
Then Comes Silence will be on tour with Bellwether Syndicate in North America this Summer (dates below). “Hunger” will be released by Metropolis Records on July 1st on all digital and physical formats.

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.
