156/Silence to Release New Album Featuring Single ‘No Arms’
156/Silence, a metalcore band from Pittsburgh, has announced the upcoming release of their sixth album, “From A Distance,” set to be released on September 4th through Pure Noise Records. The band, known for their experimental sound, has been blending fractured ideas into a cohesive mix that showcases their evolution over the years. This album is a culmination of their exploration, where all their diverse influences converge.
Their latest single, “No Arms,” is a gritty introduction to the album. The track exudes a sense of unease and dread, emphasizing themes of helplessness and loss of control. Vocalist Jack Murray’s haunting vocals capture the essence of the song, creating an atmosphere filled with tension and anxiety. Despite its heaviness, the track maintains a deliberate pace, ensuring that every shift resonates with weight.
Produced by Josh Schroeder, who has worked with renowned acts like Lorna Shore and The Plot In You, “From A Distance” aims to push the band’s emotional and sonic boundaries further. The album delves into social unease, emotional isolation, and the complexities of modern living, expanding on the themes explored in their previous work, “People Watching.” Murray’s lyrical prowess shines through, bringing a sense of intimacy and relatability to the darker concepts explored in the songs.
156/Silence has garnered a reputation for their compelling live performances, having toured extensively with bands like The Devil Wears Prada and Counterparts. Their ability to navigate different musical styles while maintaining their identity sets them apart in the metalcore scene. The band’s confidence shines through in their music, showing a willingness to experiment and push boundaries.
North American fans will have the opportunity to catch 156/Silence on the final legs of the Mercia Tour, followed by a headlining run in late May and early June. The band is set to perform at Inkcarceration in July and will embark on the It’s Not You, It’s Me North American run alongside Chiodos, sace6, and Calva Louise. Their performance at Louder Than Life in September will cap off a busy touring schedule for the band.
With “From A Distance,” 156/Silence continues to redefine their sound and explore new territories within the metalcore genre. The album promises to be a compelling blend of heavy music and emotional depth, showcasing the band’s growth and maturity. Stay tuned for more updates on the release and their upcoming tour dates.
