THE SILVERBLACK - Judgment (Album release on June 10th. 2022) “Judgment“, the fifth full-length album by industrial metallers THE SILVERBLACK, marks a substantial evolution in the band’s sound, focusing more on aggression and heaviness if compared to the previous records, without forgetting the usual dose of catchy hooks and haunting melodies the band is already known for. The pounding title track opens the album with its bone-crushing rhythm and cinematic atmospheres featuring guest vocals by none other than iconic former FEAR FACTORY singer Burton C. Bell that delivers and incredibly strong and inspired performance gifting the song with an amazing chorus. The title track is quickly followed by another two ragers: “Punishment” and “A Lifetime Ago”. Both tracks hit the listener hard balancing aggressive parts with more melodic moments, written with the clear purpose in mind of being absolute live-crushers these two songs represent exactly where the band feels comfortable being at the moment. “Chasing Ghosts” brings back some gothic elements to the band’s sound, with Infernalizer (born Claudio Ravinale, also known for being the vocalist of melodic-death metal veterans DISARMONIA MUNDI, featuring SOILWORK’s singer Speed Strid among their ranks) switching from the harsh growly vocals showcased in the previous tracks to a deep crooning voice in the vibe of TYPE O NEGATIVE and MOONSPELL. “Chrysalis” develops into a shape-shifting industrial metal interlude before the bleak assault of “Damaged” hits the listener straight in the face with its feral vocals, cyber synths and crushing rhythm section. “Nocturne” is probably the lightest moment of the whole album featuring heavy retro-wave influences, theatrical gothic vocals and a huge chorus while “Reality Check” hits hard again with its pounding assault. “One Last Nail” delivers the last handful of industrial metal kicks in the face supported by a more rock ’n’ roll influenced groove before the forlorn melancholy of the almost-ballad “Into Null” closes what can be considered the darkest and heaviest THE SILVERBLACK album to date. ----------------------------------------- LYRICS “Judgement“ For every moment that will never come back For every broken hope that won’t last I have filled these pages with my own blood Torn my own self inside out I won’t be consumed by the monster I’ve become I won’t be the victim of this hell I call my own Tell me who I was And where it went so wrong I will never know Which part of me goes missing Facing it alone I know that I must fall Until my time is through I’ll always stand my ground I cannot believe what has happened to me Where did the years go, I can’t see The reason why I should go down this way I cannot recognize my own face It should have been better, well it has been worse How can I face tomorrow when it only leaves me cold Tell me who I was And where it went so wrong I will never know Which part of me goes missing Facing it alone I know that I must fall Until my time is through I’ll always stand my ground Till my time is through I will stand my ground Can’t you see you’re wasting your time? Can’t you feel you’re losing your mind? Tell me who I was And where it went so wrong I will never know Which part of me goes missing Facing it alone I know that I must fall Until my time is through I’ll always stand my ground ----------------------------------------- CREDITS Directed by Mattia Di Matera and Fabio Brunello Edited by Mattia Di Matera and NeroArgento Filmed/camera by Mattia Di Matera Additional post production by Fabio Brunello Original Masks by Francesco Sanseverino Recorded and produced by NeroArgento at AExeron Studio ----------------------------------------- Follow THE SILVERBLACK ► Instagram: ► Facebook: ► Website: ► MERCH: ► Spotify: ----------------------------------------- darkTunes Music Group Label for awesome metal and gothic music! ► Website: ► Our merch store: ► Facebook: ► Instagram: ► Twitch: ► Twitter: ► Discord: ► Bandcamp: ► Spotify: ----------------------------------------- #industrial #TheSilverblack #darkTunes
