Era Decay - Silent Stories

Bio (official). The band took birth after 1 year since Colin left the band Shadowsong. All this year he looked for members for the band. First member of the band is the bass player Rares, he got into the band without knowing for sure. And soon after Kelly joined the band. We knew the drummer Codru for a long time but we didn't knew the he can really play drums and when our eyes were open we got him in the band. While hanging out in a bar Rares and Colin meet Serban and now he's the vocalist of the band. After our first gig Kelly got out of the band because some reason. Very soon Nistor (Eisenroth), lead guitar and vocals of Shadowsong got in the band (he did not quit Shadowsong). After few concerts Era Decay is now a two man project, Colin and Serban are still recording the songs.

So here we go with Era Decay. "Silent Stories" is the bands first logplayer, beside a demo released in 2009. This young band from Romania offers a progressive melodic (death) metal album, which was self recorded, -produced and released. The 8 track output sounds like recorded in the rehearshal, but gives a good overview about what the band´s ability.

The first song is a nice intro witch clean guitar, melodic leads and deep growls.

The bands influences are Insomnium, Catamenia, Opeth and Dark Tranquility. The sound is not perfect, but this has no negative effect. Just this effect takes you back to the years of meldoic (doom) metal highspots. All of the boys do a good job in their instruments.

If the band records their next output more professional and take a little more time on the songs I´m sure, they will raise from the underground.
