Bio:
Founded under the name BlueBlood and recorded a demo in the late '90s, before changing it to Silent Angel in 2000. Shortly after the name change, they went on hiatus.In 2015, they reformed with a new line-up.Silent Angel is an Italian/Malaysian band that has it's foundations deeply rooted in power metal and symphonic metal with a mix of progressive metal and Japanese metal music in their original compositions. Formed in the year 2000 at the birth of a new millennium, we have since taken over a decade-long hiatus after doing some shows and recording a demo. Fast forward 15 years to 2015, Silent Angel is now reborn with new members save for the remaining founding member, Eric, and have been growing from strength to strength, headlining independent rock shows at various venues, releasing 2 EPs and gaining radio airplay for 3 of our songs on American, Canadian, Italian, Australian and UK radio stations and having a feature on the French metal music magazine, Metalship. 2017 saw Silent Angel doing 2 Japan tours playing in venues across cities like Tokyo, Gunma, Osaka, Kyoto, Gifu, and Shiga touring with the Japanese Progressive Power Metal band, Seventh Son and popular doom rock band, Black Market and punk rock band, TsukaMaro. After the Japan tours, Silent Angel returned to the studios to record their full length album, but the tragic and untimely passing of our bass player and technical problems saw a massive delay in production. Moving in 2021, Italian soprano powerhouse Claudia Beltrame joined the band lineup, and later on with Italian keyboard player Davide Scuteri contributing his talent to the music, they are ready to unleash our full length masterpiece on Rockshots Records!
Album:
International bands are commonplace today. The internet takes borders away, seeking out the best musicians from any part of the world. Take SILENT ANGEL – a melodic / symphonic metal act that contains members from Malaysia and Italy, together in part since 1998 as BlueBlood – going on hiatus for fifteen years before returning in 2015, a new lineup breathing life into their sound, including talented Italian singer Claudia Beltrame.SILENT ANGEL are now unleashing their new album entitled “Unyielding, Unrelenting“. Considering the songwriting encompasses the entire lifespan of the group, it’s easy to understand why these ten tracks contain a lot of qualities that fans of the genre will easily appreciate.The employment of dual female singers with Beltrame (also of Degrees of Truth) and Gracie Shona gives the band depth in terms of the styles explored because of their ranges – everything from rock to metal and operatic angles touched upon, coming together to harmonize certain passages for “Through Selene’s Eyes” to add more emotional, dramatic tension that mirrors the musical components.Guitarist Eric Poon as the main songwriter drives influences like Helloween, Hammerfall, and Stratovarius to the forefront, dazzling with tasty positive chord progressions and sophisticated lead breaks that make “Against the Tides” and “Descent Into Infinity” early appealers.At certain times Silent Angel also explores 80s classic heroes like Iron Maiden when you hear the main hooks and higher melodies of “Angel Rising”, the drumming from Pae steady with interesting power moves which line up to the energetic guitar runs.The longest track “Twilight of the Black Rose” concludes the record, a six-minute plus outing that contains a calmer intro, choir / orchestration components, dazzling neoclassical keyboard / guitar break tradeoffs and some acrobatic vocals to showcase the multi-genre influences at play with these musicians.Years in the making, ”Unyielding, Unrelenting” is an elaborated, well crafted album. Pulling songs together that span decades, Silent Angel hopefully can develop more new material in a timely fashion to see where they are able to take things for the future.For now, this is an adequate representation of a band with plenty of potential to expand their creative horizons.
