Then Comes Silence

Then Comes Silence are a Swedish gothic rock band formed in Stockholm in 2012, and this Bristol date brings their dark, driving sound to Zed Alley. The band's debut album carries the same name as the group.

Then Comes Silence were formed in 2012 and released their eponymous debut album that same year. Founded in Stockholm by vocalist Alex Svenson, the group draws on horror, the occult and the rawer side of underground music. Early support from the German post-punk scene made Germany a second base, and the band has since toured widely across Europe, the United States and Latin America. Their later albums include Blood, released through Nuclear Blast, and the band has appeared at several major European alternative festivals, among them M'era Luna and Wave-Gotik-Treffen. Since 2022 the group has worked as a trio, with Alex Svenson, drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie.

Their live shows are built on dark atmospheres, driving rhythms and sharp hooks, and the band has shared stages with The Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, The Chameleons and A Place To Bury Strangers.

Zed Alley is a Bristol venue that hosts concerts and shows, and the evening will suit listeners who follow goth, post-punk and darkwave.
