The Silent Era is a London-based four-piece blending industrial, goth rock, shoegaze, and post-punk to create heavy, dreamy soundscapes, woven through with introspective lyrics which explore the darker side of human nature. Although each member comes from a different country with their own background and musical projects, they found their common playground in The Silent Era by drenching instruments in distortion and reverb and exploring various aspects of alt.rock. Bri Macanas - Vox, Chris Schwarten - Guitar, Nicolas Zappa - Bass [& stuff], Jo Eiffes – Drums.

Powerful sound, masterful musical arrangement, soaring vocals and excellent vibes… there is nothing out there like what The Silent Era gives to the world… the music has a story, a character, a powerful presence that instantly covers the walls of the room it's played in…
…skillfully blends atmospheric elements, haunting vocals, and a driving energy to create a sonic landscape that mirrors the complexities of the human experience.
If you are a fan of goth music, you’ll appreciate the darkness that lurks here. If metal is your thing, then you’ll love the intensity. Shoegazers will like the ferocious walls of noise, and post-punkers will recognise a wonderfully nostalgia echo. But essentially, anyone with discerning music taste and a desire for something a bit set apart from the pack, a band staking out their own sonic ground, needs The Silent Era in their lives.
