Description

Melodic hard rock act Silver End hail from the rainy coastline of Bergen, Norway. They formed in 2012; four guys with very different musical backgrounds. They released their debut album Beyond Limits in 2013, which was followed by Spreading Fire in 2017. The band members Christian Renato Lerø (lead vocals, guitar), Stian Alsaker (lead guitar/backing vocals), Lasse Ove Steine (bass) and Iben Hanøy (drums) cite various influences from Linkin Park and Nickelback to Metallica and Maiden. But the one thing they share is the passion for quality musicianship and song writing. With Christian all about the lyrics and Stian all about the melody, they form a solid plinth from where they build their songs. There is a polished quality to the sound but it’s not over-produced. There are moments of playing with electronic vocal samples in “Rising From The Ashes” and a little taste of pop punk in “Chills”. The album has more than enough variety to keep your interest up throughout. Something I really love about listening to Silver End is the clean vocals and positive nature of the lyrics; each song heralding powerful messages of hope. It gives way for the music to be heavier without feeling ground down because lyrically you’re being lifted up. It’s a counteraction that I personally enjoy about lyrically strong rock music. There’s really something for everyone on this long player. Silver End have quite a knack for lush and pleasing songs here on “Spreading Fire.” There is also a diverse mix of heavier rocking tracks and more introspective softer ones that allow you to enjoy energy and fortitude along with some piquant moments of beauty that leave a lasting impression. Any fan of Melodic Rock will surely find the album to their liking in my opinion.
