Perhaps we should occasionally simply trust the Bible! As we all know it mentions – as well as a number of apocalyptic prophecies – seven years of plenty following seven years of famine. Which brings us to Silvertomb, the all-star band featuring former Type O Negative/Danzig members Kenny Hickey (vocals, guitar) and Johnny Kelly (drums), and their three equally renowned bandmates Joe James (guitar, ex-Agnostic Front), Hank Hell (bass, Sheer Terror) and Aaron Joos (guitar, keyboards, vocals). Their second album, ’The Interpretation Of Nightmares‘, sees Silvertomb end their seven-year hiatus, setting the course for a successful future.
“Just as things were really beginning to take off for Silvertomb, our hands were suddenly tied for a number of years due to the pandemic and its long-lasting aftermath; on top of that, I had a drinking problem that urgently needed sorting out,” says Hickey, looking back at the period between 2020 and 2024. Shortly before that, Silvertomb‘s debut ’Edge Of Existence‘ (2019) had been released and met with unanimously positive reactions from fans and media alike. On top of that, a tour with Monster Magnet had been scheduled before the international lockdown brought the world – and with it Silvertomb – to a complete standstill.
But now, in 2026, these difficulties are thankfully history. Silvertomb‘s outstanding new album ’The Interpretation Of Nightmares‘ has been scheduled for release on Friday, 13 November and this atmospherically dense Doom Metal masterpiece outclasses its predecessor in many respects.
The debut single “No Way To Live” is a slightly faster track, acting as a sort of counterpart to the album‘s slower, more brooding tracks with lyrics about rejection and pain. .
