‘Remaker Redeemer’: a song about starting over
The band describes “Remaker Redeemer” as being about new life, saying the song “is about new life, being reborn with old sins washed away. A kind of cleansing, a fresh start, and the feeling of beginning again. The choice of instruments and sounds on this track was also a way to explore something a bit different this time.”
The accompanying video was directed by Damon Zurawski of Future Legends Films, who also directed the video for “Judgement Day”, the album’s first single, released in early August.
‘Requiem Ballroom’: a diptych album
“Requiem Ballroom” is structured as a diptych of two contrasting halves: “Requiem”, representing darkness, and “Ballroom”, representing light. “Remaker Redeemer” opens the “Ballroom” half of the record. The full album is available for pre-order on Bandcamp ahead of its November 20 release.
“Requiem Ballroom” follows 2024’s “Trickery”, the band’s seventh album. The full tracklist for “Requiem Ballroom” runs: “Lay”, “Dance On The Edge Of The Grave”, “Bye Bye Land”, “Judgement Day”, “Lacrimosa”, “Hear The Silence”, “Remaker Redeemer”, “Witches And Demons”, “Delete Me”, “No Stranger”, “Black Magic Children” and “The Future Has A Silver Lining”.
Then Comes Silence performed at M’era Luna Festival in Hildesheim, Germany in early August and are continuing an extensive European tour through the autumn, with dates including Rotterdam, Liège, Rennes, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Torino and Prague. Tour details are available on the band’s website.
