Canadian Metallers, Silent Line, have never been a bad band. They have always been just another band. Formed in Edmonton in 2007, Silent Line originally played cover tunes, including covering, get this, a Dr. Dre song! Hey, everyone goes through some weird stage in life, right? Well, lucky for us, SL have matured beyond that stage. Exit the 80's video game synth samples, enter the graduated melody that takes you to another place in the form of their third effort: 'Shattered Shores'
Band about album:
“Shattered Shores is a concept album – our first attempt at one – that depicts a tortured island stuck in time being slowly worn away by an endless ocean. Themes of frost, snow, fire, night, and stars are used to illustrate feelings of hopelessness, fear, and loss. A single person is referred to throughout the album and everything is told from their point of view as they wander, stuck on the island unsure of how they got there, and unsure if they will ever leave. Lots of references to snow and frost are used as we live in Canada, and there is a lonely but beautiful character to the long winter we experience. Another recurring theme is the storm, which brings change and renewal; it is – for lack of a better term – the symbol of hope and of a brighter future.”
