Then Comes Silence Unleash a Feminist Gothic Rock Battlecry with Their Video for “We Lose The Night”

Swedish Gothic Rock Act Then Come Silence have returned with one of their best songs to date. The band have unleashed a feminist gothic rock Battlecry with their video for “We Lose The Night”, a track taken from the forthcoming fifth studio album Machine, to be released March 13th via Oblivion/SPV (EU) and Metropolis Records (US).

On the song’s feminist and activist undertones, trying to shed the proverbial light on male violence and femicide, since a lot of this happens in the dark and when no one is watching.

Then Comes Silence’s Alex Svenson explains:

“I was a hardheaded pessimist around the time we released both ‘NYCTOPHILIAN’ and ‘BLOOD’.
Distinctly misandristic and fed-up on the patriarchal structures. I started writing on “We Lose The Night”. I was sorry for all my sisters. I still am.

But… the times we are living in have made me an optimist, funnily enough. Let the idiots and narrow-minded leaders burn everything to the ground. After they destroyed it, the shift will come and men learn how to be better beings. I think the brighter attitude gives the song that power gothic sound. “
