Then Comes Silence is a Swedish post-punk band known for its darkly atmospheric soundscapes, blending elements of goth and rock. Formed in Stockholm in 2012, the group is the brainchild of singer and bassist Alex Svenson. Svenson, together with his bandmates, captures the bleakness of the post-punk ethos while infusing it with modern sensibilities and piercing melodies. The band quickly established itself within the underground music scene through their intense live performances and hauntingly melodic compositions.

Their work is characterized by a penchant for the macabre and apocalyptic themes, underscored by the resonance of heavy basslines and punctuated with stark, minimalist percussion. The titles "Hunger," "Chain," and "We Lose the Night" reflect the band's fascination with the darker facets of the human psyche and the nightmarish aspects of modern existence. The "Horsemen" series of releases seems to draw inspiration from the biblical Horsemen of the Apocalypse, using this imagery to explore themes of warfare, disease, death, and scarcity. Then Comes Silence's music resonates with those who have an appreciation for the dramatic flair of goth culture and the introspective depth of post-punk music.
