News: SILENCE EQUALS DEATH: "Peacemaker" From Eulogy Recordings-Bound End Times Debut Album Streaming At Decibel Magazine

The first single from New Jersey hardcore quintet SILENCE EQUALS DEATH and their End Timesdebut full-length is now playing at Decibel Magazine, as the record nears release via Eulogy Recordings.

 

The opening track to End Times, "Peacemaker" surges with the energetic flow fans can expect for the duration of the album, as SILENCE EQUALS DEATH merges classic hardcore styles with energy and finesse. Charged-up gang chants back the empowering lead vocals, while elements of prime youth crew energy charge straight into a bruising groove-fueled breakdown.

 

On "Peacemaker," the band offers, "The song is about when you have exhausted your options and resort to aggressive actions."

 

Decibel reports, "Most people have experienced a situation in life where it feels like the only option is to lash out at the negative forces that interfere with life. It's a response that's been integral to hardcore since the beginning, almost inseparable from the genre itself. New Jersey hardcore crew SILENCE EQUALS DEATH clearly know the feeling, judging from 'Peacemaker,' the first track from their upcoming End Times. The song takes hardcore punk's high energy levels and fuses them with NYHC-esque choruses and call-and-response parts."

With several multi-talented musicians hailing from diverse in their musical backgrounds and interests,SILENCE EQUALS DEATH keeps their writing process fresh and innovative. Lyrically the group finds it important to address social issues as well as using the platform to connect with listeners on a more personal level. On their anticipated full-length debut, End Times, vocalist Scott Earth confronts deep personal issues such the loss of a loved one on the song "Devotion," and puts out a rallying cry of revolt on the songs "End Times" and "Peacemaker." "Common Ground" celebrates the unity between the band and its fans, while "Hope" screams of perseverance in the face of adversity.
