156/Silence

156/Silence makes intense, foreboding, and haunting music. Their songs are cinematic, blending brutality with intellect. They draw on real and imagined terror, all woven into melody and power. Vocalist and lyricist Jack Murray, guitarist and primary songwriter Jimmy Howell, guitarist Ryan Wilkinson, drummer Kyle O’Connell, and bassist Mike Ernst form a formidable unit. The group’s reputation as a live force of nature was earned on the road, while touring with the likes of The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos, Fit For A King, Counterparts, and The Acacia Strain, among others. Produced by Josh Schroeder (King 810, Lorna Shore, The Plot In You), From a Distance finds 156/Silence heavy as hell, while leaning into atmosphere, mood, and emotional impact even harder. Laced with eerie soundscapes reminiscent of classic video game scores, the album references prestige TV shows like Twin Peaks and Severance while still delivering fearless intensity and mood swings. From a Distance features guest appearances from some formidable vocalists: Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada, Alex Reade of Make Them Suffer, and Tony Castrati of Crippling Alcoholism. From straightforward hard rock to synth-heavy experimentation and all the way back to the band’s deadly mathcore roots, 156/Silence have established themselves as unbound by any genre limitation.
