Breaking The Silence

Into The Unknown released their first album, Out of the Shadows in 2017, and followed it up with a digital only mini album of covers, entitled The Other Side of the Wall, but with only three members vocalist Lucie Hlzlov, Guitarist Ryan Atkins and bassist/producer Rupert Withers, they were limited when it came to showcasing the music live. A few acoustic sets were performed (the first in front of a crowd of 2000 in an open air venue), however the band really wanted to perform the songs as they intended them, full on and fired up! Fast forward to June 2019, and they are pleased to announce new blood in the band, namely James Milner on rhythm guitar, and Mike Bennett on drums. This new line up was revealed with the release of their version of the Gary Moore/Phil Lynott classic song, Out In The Fields. Thus plans are now afoot to tour in the not too distant future.

The new album, Breaking the Silence is an evolution from their previous album, written by Lucie, Ryan and Rupert, it moves further into the symphonic rock arena that was hinted at in Out of The Shadows. Once more they decided to try and create a diverse collection of songs, with what they are proud to admit many critics have stated is their distinctive sound. From the heavy rocking Pandoras Box that opens the album, through the celtic influenced Heroes and Victims to the piano ballad You Cant Have Love Without The Pain the album is an hours worth of music, written from the heart. Known for their cover recordings, the band dont disappoint with their rocked up version of Howard Jones 80s pop hit What Is Love?. Lucies vocals pour feeling into the performance, and Ryans guitar work compliments them with heartfelt solos. Songs such as Broken, Ive Had Enough and Back In Time highlight emotional turmoil, whilst Are You Ready? and Live Your Life are out and out rock songs, destined to be live favourites.
