Exclusive video interview with Mordrid about the new album and the history of The Reticent!

Influences: Conceptually, The Reticent acts independently of traditional compositional processes. In other words, no particular sound, genre, or style is intentionally pursued so what is created is simply the musical interpretation of the specific emotion(s) at the moment of composition.

Musical Roots: Terry Reid, Steve Von Till, Opeth, B.B. King, Al Di Meola, Tool, Metallica (1981-1989), as well as others.

Sounds Like: My perception is biased and irrelevant. You tell me.


Record Label: Heaven and Hell Records
Type of Label: Indie
