    Artist description
    When the concept of Shades of Silence was created. We digged in the manners of writing for classical instruments, we have composed complete scores for an orchestra and have written lyrics and vocal scores for a female singer. The lyrics are written in a style which isn't strange to the people who are familiar with the music of either Threnody or Gridlock. We went and are still going at great lengths to create an atmosphere which is just right. The first album will have a concept which is set in the Great War.

    Artist History
    The aim was to make that music which we had never done before, to explore new grounds and thus again push our personal standards higher. The three composers in this case are Henry McIlveen, Rene Scholte and Martijn Spierenburg.The three had previous encounters in music in the bands Threnody and Gridlock. Spierenburg was asked to fill a void in the line-up of Threnody just before the second album. This actually resulted in forming a new band Gridlock. Gridlock was set up with the same ideas with which the later Shades of Silence was born. To make music without any precondition.
