Rock N Growl Promotion has issued that the UK-based melodic metallers CODE OF SILENCE are offering a free download of the track ‘Tame The Tempest‘. The song is taken from the band’s debut album ‘Dark Skies Over Babylon’ which has already received glowing reviews. This track is now available as a free download for signing up to the band’s Reverbnation mailing list. Just go to: http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/16625691

The track started out as a piece written by guitarist Ben Randall and ended up a collaboration with Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and Pete Newdeck (Eden’s Curse, Tainted Nation).

Get Ready to ROCK! reviewer Alan Jones wrote about the track: “an opportunity for Randall to thrust himself forward as the new guitar hero for the next generation. Plenty of raw meat for guitar wannabes to get their teeth into and an absolute shoo-in for Riff Of The Year.”

The first single ‘Sky Is Falling Down’ (also available at Reverbnation) is a four-minute burst of pop metal – catchy, re-playable, and engaging – the promo video is available at the band’s website http://www.codeofsilence.co.uk and has gathered an amazing 200,000-plus views since February:

The brainchild of respected U.K. melodic rock producer/ musician / songwriter Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and James Murray (bass), Code Of Silence is completed by John Clelland (drums), Scott McLean (keys), guitarist Ben Randall and vocalist Gus Monsanto (Revolution Renaissance, Adagio).

The album ‘Dark Skies Over Babylon’ is released by Mausoleum Records in Europe (February 25) and North America (April 9) in Japan by Rubicon Music.

Rock N Growl has issued that the British melodic metallers CODE OF SILENCE – who are fronted by Brazilian vocalist Gus Monsanto (REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE, ADAGIO, SYMBOLICA, LORD OF MUSHROOMS) posted a track-by-track album breakdown video provided by band leader and bassist James Murray who also supplied the debut album’s historical theme of the Knights Templar at the time of the Crusades. The video can be viewed here:

James says: “Although the album is thematic each song can be enjoyed in its own right separately away from any concept.”

CODE OF SILENCE recently released their debut video ‘Sky Is Falling Down’ – which has gained in excess of 15,000 views since posting and an informative EPK introducing the band:

“Taken in the round, this is a fabulous rock album. As a debut album it’s simply stunning.” Get Ready to ROCK!

A guitarist who wants to go to Japan, a drummer who thinks political leaders should settle arguments over a few beers, and a Brazilian who likes Scottish breakfasts. These are some of the fascinating facts you will glean from Code Of Silence’s newly launched website – http://www.codeofsilence.co.uk

The album – ‘Dark Skies Over Babylon’ – has been written and produced by Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and mixed by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Eden’s Curse, Hardline, Lionville). Stylistically it covers a range of genres from hard rock to progressive, fused with highly melodic metal.

Written by Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and bassist James Murray, “Sky Is Falling Down” is the first single from the bands full-length debut, “Dark Skies Over Babylon“, which is described in the label press release as “a grandiose thematic album based upon the tales of the legendary Knights Templar during the period of the Crusades”.

Guitarist Ben Randall (ex-Power Quest) turned heads when he won “The Most Promising Young Guitarist” award at the 2008 inaugural Guitar Idol competition in London at just 17 years old. With a field of over 750 international entrants, Randall wowed judges who praised “his level of technical virtuosity at such a young age, coupled with a level of phrasing beyond his years,” a hallmark of his playing throughout the CODE OF SILENCE debut. The rest of CODE OF SILENCE consists of keyboardist Scott McLean (Falloch, ex-Concept Of Time) and drummer John Clelland (The Crows, The Jack, Karma, The Troubleshooters).

Rock N Growl has issued the following:

Two years in the making, an epic debut album with stunning musicianship, welcome to 2013 …Code Of Silence. The introductory video can be viewed here:

The brainchild of respected U.K. melodic rock producer/ musician / songwriter Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and his friend and musical journeyman James Murray, the album ‘Dark Skies Over Babylon’ will appeal to lovers of melodic hard rock and metal, with shades of prog.

In the introductory video, Paul and James discuss the origins and formation of the band with behind the-scenes footage of their forthcoming promotional video ‘Sky Is Falling Down’. Paul explains how he enlisted the band members: James Murray (bass), John Clelland(drums), Scott McLean (keys), Ben Randall (guitars) and vocalist Gus Monsanto.

James, John and Scott are based in Scotland and have worked with Paul on separate projects whilst he managed Ben for a time before the guitarist joined Power Quest in 2009. The Brazilian vocalist Gus Monsanto was already known to Paul Logue via his work with Timo Tolkki’s Revolution Renaissance (ex-Stratovarius) and the French band Adagio.

In the video, Monsanto articulates what attracted him to the music, and what he thinks others will find: “strong songs, melodies, hard rock, great guitar a full package”. The visuals are reinforced by the stunning artwork conceived by Belgium-based graphic artist Didier Scohier.

Code Of Silence is a fresh-sounding take on heavy but highly melodic rock. Listeners will find many reference points but the band is truly a sum of its parts: five guys who have fashioned a modern masterpiece in a sometimes predictable and certainly overcrowded genre.

The track ‘Sky Is Falling Down’ is a four-minute burst of pop metal – catchy, re-playable, and engaging – the promo video was filmed on location in Glasgow on a very cold December’s day last year. It is due for premiere on Monday 21 January to precede the Japanese album release via Rubicon Music on 25 January.

The album ‘Dark Skies Over Babylon’ is released in Europe on 25 February and in North America on 9 April via Mausoleum Records.
