SILENCER Announce New Bassist

November 19, 2005

Colorado metallers SILENCER have announced the addition of bassist Brandon West to the group's ranks. "Brandon has quickly learned new album material and select back catalogue crushers in time kick off the 'Death of Awe' touring cycle with us," the band write on their web site. "His hungry attitude and resilient neck joint fit in perfectly with the band, and we look forward to the long road ahead with him."

In other news, SILENCER have been confirmed to participate in a unique event. On December 10, the band will appear and play a short set during the intermission of the "King of the Cage: Socorro Showdown" mixed martial arts competition. Regional fighters will appear and compete in the next installment of the wildly popular fight series at the National Guard Armory in Socorro NM. The fights begin at 7:00 p.m. and SILENCER will play from approximately 8:20 p.m. until 8:45 p.m., with more bouts to follow. But that's not all — the band will play a full set at the official after-fight party at the Capitol Bar including TV fight footage, appearances from the ring girls, and much more. Comp tickets for 21+ patrons are available at Wax Trax Denver, Angelo's Littleton, Recycle CDs Wheat Ridge, Independent Records Denver, or by contacting the bands themselves for the November 25 album release show. Admission is $6 for walk-up or under 21. Native-Noise.net will be in attendance that night with loads of giveaways from their show, Independent Records and much more.

As previously reported, SILENCER's new album, "Death of Awe", is out in the U.S., through The End Records distribution and mail-order, and is due in Europe on November 21 through Mausoleum Records. In addition, the album track "The Harvest" is available for download through the band's official web site and MySpace site.

The first confirmed dates in support of "Death of Awe" will take place this month, with more to be announced shortly. Joining the band on the bill for two dates will be DREAMS OF DAMNATION in their first trek to Colorado. DREAMS OF DAMNATION (featuring DARK ANGEL founding member Jim Durkin) will play the Nov. 25 and Nov. 26 dates, and are planning to include several classic DARK ANGEL numbers in their set.

Upcoming SILENCER shows:

Nov. 19 - Albuquerque NM - Golden West
