The gravedigger group Deathlike Silence was founded in 2003 and it plays a dark coloured, melodic, atmospheric metal, spiced with strong horror-romance elements, and performed with the dignity of a gravedigger. In short: Gravedigger metal. The group has built a strong image with lyrics, dressing, stage properties and logos etc. They have even got their own hearse for carrying their instruments.
The band has also gotten attention due to their skills: A lead singer with a strong voice (Ms. Maya), lead guitar virtuoso (Mr. Cerberos) and of course convincing live performances. The talented new keyboard player (Ms Erna) is also know from the ranks of Lordi during the years 97-05. Two sold out pressings have been made of their 2005 self released promo-CD before the debut album. The band comes from the Turku area in Finland.
Die Band Deathlike Silence wurde 2003 gegründet. Ihren Metalstil bezeichnet die Band selber als Gravedigger Metal. Geprägt wird der melodische Musikstil der Band von der starken Stimme von Ms. Maya. Von Ihrer Promo-CD wurden gleich 2 Auflagen komplett ausverkauft, bevor 2007 das Debut auf den Markt kam und gleich in die TOP 40 der finnischen Charts einstieg. Derzeit stehen DS mit einem deutschen Label in Verhandlungen, damit die Scheibe auch in Mitteleuropa auf den Markt kommt.
