Rather, front man Martin Klein approaches things from a melodic and soaring middle register standpoint while periodically reaching for the end-end (or falsetto driven) side of things. Where Within Silence separates itself from the latter can be found in how it eschews the use of a high-pitched vocalist in the mode of Rey Parra or Geoff Tate. I can also see Within Silence appealing to those into popular Brazilian acts Angra and Destra in addition to leading players of the operatic power metal scene such as Sacred Warrior and Queensryche. I might have also included lesser known though no less able Absolon in this regard. The commonality shared by Within Silence with the three is the trademark European power metal sound with its emphasis on big melodies and occasional foray into the progressive. Musical comparisons vary, but the press material of the Slovakia based act, which shares the same label as countrymen Signum Regis, has the right idea when mentioning Sonata Arctica, Stratovarius and Theocracy. In other words, Within Silence exhibits the musical credibility to prevent it from ending up overlooked and overshadowed by the aforementioned! Defined by choice songwriting, adept musicianship and refined production, the album is poised to win over critics and fans alike, or at the very least allow Within Silence to solidify itself in what has proven up to this point a very competitive first half of the year. This, however, is certain to change with the upcoming release of the group’s full-length debut Gallery Of Life (for Europe for North America) in which it sports a sleek brand of melodic power metal meets intricate progressive metal. Elbowed out of the spotlight the first quarter of 2015 by albums from big name artists such as Sweet & Lynch ( Only To Rise), Impellitteri ( Venom) and The Neal Morse Band ( The Grand Experiment), Ulterium Records latest signing Within Silence has earned minimal hoopla.
