Gruesome return with Silent Echoes, a ferocious death metal onslaught, fuelled by progressive, razor sharp musicianship, out June 6, 2025 via Relapse Records! Silent Echoes marks the band’s first new full-length recording in 7 years!
Today, Gruesome shares Silent Echoes’ first offering “A Darkened Window”. Watch the official music video (directed by The COIN) below.
Gruesome Comment on “A Darkened Window”:
“A Darkened Window” was the perfect song to pair with the visuals of the COIN, who captured the existential despair of lyrics perfectly – a vision of modern existence where every human emotion can be commoditized and therefore must be groomed, filtered and corrected into something synthetic and horrifying.
Celebrating over a decade as the finest purveyors of old-school Death Metal inspired by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner and the many iterations of Death, the new album sees Gruesome transition away from the no-frills riff-fests heard on their Savage Land and Twisted Prayers LPs, and shift towards a more musically advanced, nuanced form of extremity. Silent Echoes is the quartet’s true “put up or shut-up” moment for one simple reason: It was written and recorded in the spirit of Death’s 1991 progressive death metal masterpiece, Human.
Pre-Order Silent Echoes on LP/CD/CS/digital via Relapse.com. Digital downloads / streaming are here.
