The project Utter Silence was launched in early 2016 with the aim of composing atmospheric, melodic death metal with doom - elements, expressing melancholy and energy in equal measure.
Atmospheric death-doom metal was from then on the common battlefield for elements of various metal styles.
The result is a multifaceted mélange, as multifaceted as life itself. Anger, longing, hope and despair are the feelings that prevail in Utter Silence. In keeping with this credo, the lyrics plumb the depths of humanity, bringing out the dark sides behind the beautiful facades and dripping with wicked cynicism.
Together, music and lyrics create an intense, engaging mood - uncompromising and unyielding.
Utter Silence was founded by Ron Szameitpreuss and Hagen Thiele in 2016 as a two-man-project.
After a number of line-up changes, a band of like-minded musicians crystallized, who first set about reinterpreting the already existing material and thus laying the foundation for future compositions.
Each one of the six brings his own musical signature to the band and gives Utter Silence its distinctive sound.
