UK REVIEWS
“The post-punk influence of Bauhaus or Joy Division offset by an 80s windblown, cinematic sense of drama presented with silky production and confidence”
CLASSIC ROCK
“A huge, spectral sound that cascades the post-punk genres seamlessly whilst delivering a unique and compelling sound that is as captivatingly gripping as it is intense”
VIVE LE ROCK
“Way ahead of their contemporaries, they are greater than the sum of their influences. With every new release, more people are recognising that this band are special. Join us”
RPM ONLINE

‘Ghost House’ is the elegiac closing song on ‘Trickery’, the magnificent seventh album by Swedish post-punk/goth trio Then Comes Silence. Also home to the singles ‘Ride Or Die’ and ‘Like A Hammer’, plus several other future genre anthems, ’Trickery’ has earned accolades worldwide and seen the group favourably compared to late ‘70s/early ‘80s dark rock overlords such as Joy Division, Bauhaus and Killing Joke, plus compatriots The Leather Nun.
Then Comes Silence resume touring activity on 27th July with a headlining set on the Orbit Stage of the Amphi Festival in Cologne (Germany) and a slot at the W-Festival in Ostend (Belgium) on 23rd August. These are followed by an autumn schedule that includes shows in Germany, Belgium, France, Sweden and Denmark, as well as UK shows at the beginning of November in London and Whitby (Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival). December dates in Spain are also being finalised.
With drummer Jonas Fransson laying down an energetic backbeat and Hugo Zombie providing rhythmic guitar lines, the solid basslines and velvety croon of Svenson are enhanced on ‘Trickery’ by retro synth sounds for what is a stunning and superbly recorded collection.
Formed in 2012, Then Comes Silence initially built a large audience in Germany via frequent touring, their fanbase widening as they began sharing stages with artists such as A Place To Bury Strangers, Chameleons and Fields Of The Nephilim, as well as performing at festivals throughout mainland Europe. Regularly releasing high quality new material, they have worked hard to promote it and are now recognised as a leading act in their genre. Videos for ‘Ride Or Die’ and ‘Like A Hammer’ have racked up half a million views on YouTube.
