SILENT SCREAM Sign With Long Branch Records
September 26, 2017, 7 years ago
The UK metalcore powerhouse Silent Screams has signed a worldwide deal with Long Branch Records.
Formed in 2007 by Tom Craig, Sam Varney, Ozzi Osman, Adam Mallabone and James Ryan, the band quickly started working on their first EP. In 2008 with the help of Producer Matt Hyde (As I Lay Dying, Gallows, Funeral For A Friend) Silent Screams self-released Ghosts. The band signed with Ghost Music and in 2011 released their first full length, When It Rains, which was recorded and produced by Joey Sturgis (Asking Alexandria, The Devil Wears Prada, Miss May I). They shot a video for the title track and started gaining attention worldwide.
Silent Screams has since been through a lineup change replacing lead vocalist James Ryan with Joel Heywood in 2012. The band has since signed with Artery Recordings and in 2014 released their second full length Hope For Now. The sophomore album has done very well and had very impressive chart positions.
Following the touring cycle for Hope For Now, Tom decided to leave the band for personal reasons. The Band recruited Mikey Scrivens a longtime friend of the band to be the new bass player/singer. Mikey joined the band on tours with The Browning and Asking Alexandria. The band recorded the single "LOVE//LESS" featuring Mikey on vocals. Following the 2017 European tour with Asking Alexandria, Mikey decided touring wasn't for him and he stepped aside.
The band had kept good relations with Tom and spoke to him about potentially working together on future projects. Tom decided to rejoin Silent Screams and they started working on the bands third studio album.
The band began writing and recording their third studio album in 2017. The first single "Low" from the new album will be released on Thursday, September 28th, just ahead of their European tour with In Hearts Wake & Gideon.
The new album is due in early 2018. More info will be announced shortly.
