Band Biography :
War. Betrayal. Destruction. These themes are common in music lyrics, but when
coupled with strong metal-core music, they create the unique and powerful
listening experience that is Silent Mourning. Based in Hartford, Connecticut,
Silent Mourning is: Steve Alvarez (vocals); Ron Giantonio (guitar); Rick Haas
(guitar); Jay Dufour (drums/effects). The band members’ diverse backgrounds come
together to create a unique metal-core sound, with fast aggressive guitar riffs
and drumming complemented by harmonized riffs, fast drops in beat and timing,
breakdowns and strong vocals. Influenced by bands like Pantera, Mudvayne,
Killswitch Engage, Unearth, 18 Visions and Poison the Well, Silent Mourning’s
music constantly changes, leaving audiences energized and captivated. Silent
Mourning came together in 2004. Haas had previously played in a hardcore band
and was looking for a group with the same musical background. He met Dufour, and
the duo wrote a song. As fate would have it, Giantonio was also looking for a
group. Though he had performed with only death metal groups in the past, within
one hour, he had learned the song Haas and Dufour wrote and was adding his own
touches to the music. With the band complete, the three quickly wrote five
songs. But an integral part was missing – a singer with a wide range of vocals
who could perfectly complement the group’s unique metal-core sound. Enter
Alvarez. Having just finished military service, Alvarez was anxious to try
something new. After hearing Alvarez belt out a song, the group knew Silent
Mourning was complete. Since then, Alvarez has written the lyrics to the five
songs the group had developed, as well as the additional four Silent Mourning
has created since Alvarez’s arrival, rounding out a complete set. Silent
Mourning will record an EP in summer 2005 and has several performances booked
throughout Connecticut. Log on to www.SilentMourning.net for more information.
