Search - Alight :: Spiral Of Silence

In the middle of the '90s, Gothic Metal reached it's peak with legendary and unforgettable releases from Tiamat, Moonspell, Therion as well as from the first female fronted acts like Theatre Of Tragedy and The Gathering. After the turn of the millennium, bands like Nightwish, Within Temptation and Evanescence developed the genre further and added their symphonic direction. Impressed and influenced by both sides, Mirko Montresor from Bolzano, founded Alight, after he made his first experiences with the melodic death/black metal band Voices Of Decay some years before. Mirko never set any stylistic boundaries, adding electro and industrial as well as dark wave parts to the melodic and dreamful sound of his brainchild Alight. After their debut album Don't Fear The Revenge, which was released in 2009 and included a guest appearance by Theatre Of Tragedy vocalist Nell Sigland, Alight played two European tours, alongside Samsas Traum and Dornenreich as well as numerous single shows supporting among others Soulfly, Black Stone Cherry, Darkwell and Novembre. Now, Alight are finally ready to strike and unleash their second record Spiral Of Silence. The band already put a lot of effort into the pre-production, which was handled by Waldemar Sorychta (Moonspell, Tiamat, Samael among others), who helped the band to improve the composition and arrangements. The ten jewels got finally recorded and mixed by Marco Barusso (Lacuna Coil), and mastered by Marco D'Agostino (Lacuna Coil). Once again, Alight are proud to announce another prominent guest, which is Andrea Ferro of their fellow-countryman Lacuna Coil, who can be heard in "The Shame". On top of this, some string parts were recorded by Giovanni Lanfranchi (Cayne), adding an organic feeling towards the record.
