Akron, Ohio's Silent Knight have spent two decades threading death, thrash, and speed metal into a cohesive whole since forming in 2005, blending the velocity of old-school speed with the darker tonality that comes from a genuine death metal foundation.
Silent Stream of Godless Elegy are Czech folk/doom metal pioneers from Hranice, blending authentic Moravian folk traditions with crushing doom since 1995.
