Then Comes Silence returns with ‘Like a Hammer’ single – Out now
Stockholm- based post-punk act Then Comes Silence returns with the “Like a Hammer” single, following the lead track “Ride or Die”. Their seventh album “Trickery” is out April 5 via Metropolis Records following up their 2022 album “Hunger”. “Like a Hammer” was the first song written for this album just over a year ago.
“There is a tradition based on an inside joke when I write and we record. Every album has an ABBA moment and a Ramones moment or a Judas Priest moment. A melody, a riff, a drum beat or a whole part that has something familiar with the mentioned artists,” frontman Alex Svenson. And he adds, “We celebrate the community we live and work in. It’s like a garden with plants, flowers and trees. Don’t forget to water it in dry season.”
Recorded by Jörgen Wall (Jay-Jay Johanson, The Hellacopters) over three days at Stockholm’s Kapsylen Studio and mixed by Tom van Heesch (Rammstein, Apocalyptica, Backyard Babies), this album was mastered by Svante Forsbäck / Chartmakers (Rammstein, Amaranthe, Ville Valo, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
