Press Kit
Formed in the small town of San Remo (Phillip Island), the four piece band The Weight of Silence has been working hard to create their own tight melodic brutal sound. Influenced by traditional metal & hardcore as well as "trap" music & party metal; 'TWOS' (as they are known to their fans) has quickly become a staple of the Australian heavy music scene. Since 2016 they have played major festivals, toured Asia, collaborated with heavy music luminaries like Danny Leal (Upon a Burning Body) & become well known as the pioneers of the burgeoning TRAP METAL movement!
Their new album, slated for release in early 2020, will feature more of their signature heavy sound- which is equal parts self aware party metal & trap tinged melodic hardcore!
Hot off a collab with Upon A Burning Body main man Danny Leal (which had over 100k streams + views in its first month!), The Weight of Silence are here to prove that #trapmetal isn't a trend and neither are they. Continuing to prove their unique approach to a fresh genre, The Weight of Silence are "Runnin' through the 666" on their latest single, blending metalcore with the swagger of trap.
The video for "Runnin' Through the 666" premiered on September 18 through New Noise Magazine; it showcases the band's live energy and the flare for the dramatic that can be heard in all of their songs. It's undeniably an unconventional and sometimes silly approach, but The Weight of Silence's roots in hardcore are evident in their music and in their dedication to their fans.

"GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK" FT. DANNY LEAL OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
“Danny's vocal features add additional heft and (dare we say it) some FUN to an already mosh worthy party anthem. Plus, the video for the song has a horse AND a jet plane..how can you say no to that? ”
