Daggers

All Hail The Silence, the project of American electronic artist BT and English singer-songwriter Christian Burns, has releasied its first full-length LP ‡ (Daggers). Entirely constructed with step sequencers and modular/analog synthesizers recorded straight to tape, the record is a meticulously crafted ode to the golden age of synth-pop. Listening to the group's new single, 'Temptation,' evokes the very best of that era -- Depeche Mode, New Order, Human League -- with a few modern touches to give All Hail The Silence their own unique signature.

Recording in a friend's basement in Baltimore, All Hail The Silence expertly tap into a sound that is oft-copied but hard to authentically capture. The warmth of the group's vintage electronic equipment and analog synths perfectly complements Burns' soaring vocals and compelling hooks. 'Temptation' pulses with live, building and building before exploding into a euphoria so strong it feels like it might drop the listener back in 1986.
