Silent Winter - "Empire Of Sins" (album stream)
Οι Silent Winter μας έρχονται από τον Βόλο. Δημιουργήθηκαν στα μέσα της δεκαετίας του ενενήντα (κυκλοφορώντας δύο demos: "Silent Winter" - 1995 και "War Of An Angel" - 1997) και ενεργοποιήθηκαν εκ νέου το 2018 "βγάζοντας" το ep "The War Is Here" και το full length album "The Circles Of Hell".
Το καινούριο δισκογραφικό πόνημα της Ελληνικής μπάντας είναι "ολοκληρωμένος" δίσκος. Φέρει τον τίτλο "Empire of Sins", περιλαμβάνει εννέα τραγούδια (οκτώ δικά τους και μία διασκευή σε 80ς σουξέ της Belinda Carlisle, στο "Leave a Light On" το οποίο δεν υπάρχει στην ψηφιακή έκδοση του album που σας παρουσιάζουμε σήμερα) και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών...
Bio: «Silent Winter was initially formed in the middle of 90's in the city of Volos in central Greece. Back then, the band recorded and released two demo tapes entitled "Silent Winter" and "War of an Angel” and also played some gigs and appeared on local festivals.
In 2018 the group was reformed with new members and released an EP with 5 songs. One of the featured tracks is a new version of the old demo song “Far Away” which also was released as their first video clip under the production of Progressive Vision Group (Bob Katsionis).
This EP received positive feedback and reviews throughout the world. Kiriakos Balanos (guitars) and Giorgos Loukakis (bass) are the original members from 1995’s line-up.

In May 2019 Silent Winter released their first album 'The Circles of Hell' via Greek label Sonic Age Records. The reviews coming in from all over the world again were excellent and “The Circles of Hell” appeared in many ‘best of listings’ of that year. Several 3d lyric videos were released in collaboration with Harry Kountouris who is also now responsible for all the live visuals of Sabaton, as well as for some 3D lyric videos for Rotting Christ.
Silent Winter played lived with Skyclad in Larissa, and with Acid Death and Nightrage at the Golden R festival in Volos, and a release show together with Floating Worlds in Athens’ Remedy club. “Empire Of Sins”, the group’s second full-length release, now will be released via Pride & Joy Music on March 26th, 2021.
