Silhouette

Silhouette is a Dutch progressive rock crew that's been crafting intricate, concept-driven tunes since their formation in the early 2000s. Hailing from a scene steeped in classic prog traditions, this five-piece blends lush keyboard textures, storytelling lyrics, and dynamic instrumentation reminiscent of genre greats like Genesis and Marillion. Their recent releases – including 2023's cheekily titled *The World Is Flat and Other Alternative Facts* and the nautical-themed *Beyond the Seventh Wave* (2018) – showcase their knack for weaving philosophical themes into sprawling musical journeys. Fronted by keyboardist/vocalist Erik Laan with guitar fireworks from Daniel van der Weijde, they've become festival favorites in the European prog circuit, delivering everything from epics like *Across the Rubicon* to shorter, mood-focused pieces like *Moods* without losing their signature melodic warmth.
