GODS
OF SILENCE formerly
‘KIRK‘ was founded in the 90’s.
The
band released its first album ‘The Final Dance‘ in 2003. The album was
highly recommended by the local press and was also listed in the import charts
of the renowned Kerrang Magazine. Due to the enthusiastic reviews the
band played alot of shows and tours throughout Switzerland with ‘Doro‘,
‘Pink Cream 69‘, ‘Axxis‘ and
‘Shakra‘.
When
drummer Vito Cecere left the band due to health problems the band decided to
have a break so the band members could have more time with their different side
projects. The result of this were several worldwide released albums, tours and
shows on open air festivals with band like ‘Godiva‘, ‘Dr.
Crankenstein‘, ‘In Your Face‘ and ‘Decent
Desaster‘.
In
2009 the band was reunited again and with drummer Philipp Eichenberger from
‘Legenda Aurea‘, a real master of drums joined the band. New songs were
written over the next few months and at the end of 2010 the band was back in the
studio under the guidance of the well-known producer Dennis Ward who
already acted as producer of the former album of the band.
With the new album ‘Masquerade‘ the band set its muscial level even one pitch higher and the sound became faster and harder.

After
a long search the band could finally sign a deal with the famous metal label
‘Mausoleum‘. The album was released in early 2014 and again the reviews
across Europe and US were outstanding. In March 2014 the band was on tour across
Italy, Switzerland and Germany as support act with ‘The Poodles‘ from
Sweden.
Due
to musical differences singer Thomi Rauch left the band in 2016. Soon afterwards
a new singer was found with Gilbi Meléndez. With a new front man the band
decided to also look for a new name and finally renamed it’s brand from
‘KIRK‘ to ‘GODS OF SILENCE‘. In 2016 the band was back in the
studio again with Dennis Ward as a producer and recorded the new
album.
