Eternal Closure are part of a new wave of melodic metalcore bands challenging the genre’s reputation for homogenous, stale, and often derivative material, and instead offering a fresh perspective featuring a marriage of new ideas with classic tropes. Hailing from Montreal, Quebec, the band offer an experimental take on a familiar style with Screaming in Silence, combining their rock-solid metalcore foundation with a hard, thrash metal edge and some more unexpected features. As though in testament to this philosophy, the album opens up with the title track; a unique, albeit brief taste of the unexpected elements to come, this delicate piano and symphonic driven arrangement carries a grandeur which wouldn't sound out of place within the context of a folk or power metal album. Here, it builds spectacularly towards the opening track and lead single ‘Turn the Tide’, but without giving anything too telling away in the process.
