Silent
Voices
Reveal the Change
Melany S. / Translation: Mario Bolaños
Silent Voices is a progressive metal band from Finland, formed in
1995 by keyboardist Henrik Klingenberg (Sonata Arctica) and is
known as “his other band”. This time we will review his latest album
entitled Reveal the Change, released on November 29, 2013 under
the label Inner Wound Recordings.
Let’s begin with the introductory track to the album, entitled THE
FEAR OF EMPTINESS, with a very heavy beginning and an imposing
voice from Teemu Koskela, who has an interesting and very powerful
voice, Henrik keyboards from the top are noted with atmospheres that
suggest this song is a little more focused on heavy metal rather than
on progressive although it contains everything characteristic of this.
We continue with NO TURNING BACK now with a marked progressive
style but a little more dark, with Mats Levén as guest vocal, this
song is quite interesting, a guitar solo full of adrenaline and always
keeping our attention on what happens in every second, REIGN OF
TERROR contains more aggression than the previous two songs with
heavy riffs but also more focused on heavy metal, not ceasing to be
interesting both guitar and vocal arrangement can highlight the skill
and talent of vocalist , a very heavy and full of power guitar solo,
once again we say that this material appears to be more heavy metal
than progressive, but still continues to like it, continue with FAITH IN
ME, with the collaboration of Tony Kakko (Sonata Arctica) in the voice
as well as in the music, is one of the most enjoyable songs on this
