About Then Comes Silence
Then Comes Silence was formed in Stockholm in 2012 by vocalist and bassist Alex Svenson. Drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie later rounded out the band as a trio. Drawing on horror, the occult and classic goth and post-punk songwriting, the band built a sound and an international following that led to a deal with Metropolis Records, which has released the band’s albums “Hunger” (2022) and “Trickery” (2024) jointly with Nexilis Records / Schubert Music.
Then Comes Silence have toured extensively across Europe, North America and Latin America, sharing stages with Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, The Chameleons, A Place to Bury Strangers, Pink Turns Blue and The Bellwether Syndicate, and playing festivals including M’era Luna, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Amphi Festival, Castle Party, Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival and W-Festival. The January 2027 dates with Agent Side Grinder, a fellow Metropolis Records act, continue that touring history behind “Requiem Ballroom”.
