Path To Ruin

With a diverse repertoire of songs with lyrical themes varying from political, doomsday, and the occult, to sensitive introspection, Silvara was poised to record a full-length album. What was a budget-less, unsigned Northern California metal band to do? Record it themselves of course! With years of combined audio engineering experience between them, our anti-heroes diligently set about working on the album. Tired of the fake sounding drums, brick-wall limiting, and other ravages of modern digital metal production, Silvara set out to produce a natural sounding death metal record. Featuring punishing, technical, genuine drumming, raw, dynamic vocals, bass that ranges from distorted organ-like tones to growling fretless mwah, sparkling acoustic and huge saturated tube driven guitars, The Path to Ruin is a carefully crafted album peppered with tastefully executed outbursts of virtuosity: a sumptuous aural feast for the metal listener. Real performances expertly captured to bring you the true essence of Silvara. Members: Karl Metts: Vocals, Guitars Nick Barnhart: Guitars, Vocals Jim Russell: Basses, Vocals Tim Davis: Drums, Percussion No unsigned band has been around longer. Silvara is a project that started as kids learning to play instruments that has evolved into a refined metal machine, whose members strive to create the greatest metal mega hits ever. While misguided and misdirected, this band will never die. You would be a fool not to follow Silvara's progress on their quest to be one of the best.
