Then Comes Silence

Then Comes Silence are a Swedish gothic rock band formed in Stockholm in 2012, performing at Ivory Blacks on Oswald Street in Glasgow. The concert is part of the band's touring activity across Europe.

Then Comes Silence formed in Stockholm in 2012 and released their eponymous debut album the same year. Founder and vocalist Alex Svenson leads the project, which since 2022 has been a trio with drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie. The band draws on horror themes, occult imagery and the intensity of underground music, and has built a following in the German post-punk scene, where much of its early support came from.

After three independently released albums, the band signed with Nuclear Blast for the record Blood. They have shared stages with The Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, The Chameleons and A Place To Bury Strangers, and have appeared at festivals including M'era Luna, Wave-Gotik-Treffen and Castle Party. Their catalogue also includes releases on Metropolis Records.

The group's music combines dark atmospheres with driving rhythms and sharp melodic hooks. The concert suits listeners of goth, post-punk and darkwave, and Ivory Blacks is a concert and performance venue on Oswald Street in the centre of Glasgow.
