INI ADALAH COPY TEXT ULASAN DARI MEREKA:
Two years of dedication and hard work now has Malaysia´s very own purveyors of “Atmospheric Death Metal," HIDDEN SILENCE, releasing their second album, bearing the uneasy title “Into The Child´s Nightmare." Having reviewed the band´s demo from 2004 only a few days ago, I was genuinely interested in learning how the band had progressed.
It seems they´ve stuck with more or less the same recipe, a very classic Metal sound, rooted in all the original Extreme Metal forms. The songs go from old school Speed/Thrash Metal ala vintage KREATOR (“Wrath Of God”) to good ol´ fashioned Heavy Metal with atmospheric melodies close to some of CRIMSON GLORY´s hit material (“I See The Dead”), complete with death/black vocals and an old school sound mix.

For more interesting song structuring, the title track and the already mentioned “I See The Dead” work nicely, ranging from slow keyboard laced passages to full on Metal mayhem dynamics. The band treads on many different moods, be it blackened symphonic passages, early nineties Death Metal riffs, the all too obvious maidenisms in the melodies, or the unexpected peaceful aura of the keyboard/acoustic/clean guitar arranged instrumental “Forever My Daughter," there´s no shortage of wanting to try out various ideas.
All things considered, this album has some pretty good moments, even if it sounds a bit clumsy put together. Not an eye opener as such, this stuff´s been heard before, but what this album does have, is an honest approach towards the experimentation of classic influences within all Extreme Metal genres, and that´s pretty cool for a band coming from the Southern parts of Asia hehe

INI PULAK ADALAH SALINAN REVIEW UNTUK DEMO :
When I read the label “Atmospheric Death Metal from 
Malaysia," it took me about two nanoseconds 
to cross the emotional currents between excitement 
and skepticism. After several positive surprises 
from obscure bands hailing from countries 
that aren´t exactly considered breeding 
grounds for Metal music, I still have that 
“How bad is it gonna be?” feel, when I´m about to 
review a release from a band from say India, 
Tunisia, Venezuela, or in this case, Malaysia.

HIDDEN SILENCE released this three-track demo back in 2004,
 a demo containing songs that would end up on their 
debut album “Black Hearted Spiritual” (which we have 
reviewed here on the site btw). The songs are instrumental 
with no vocals, which were added to the final versions on 
the debut, so this is simply a raw rehearsal, not to be 
taken all that serious. For reasons unknown to me, there are 
two additional tracks on my copy, not sure when recorded, 
but they´ve got vocals (growls/screams) and stay 
pretty close to the band´s idea of Death Metal with keyboards.

Now then, of the song listed, “Blood World” is the 
longest track (eight minutes) and is also the 
closest thing to being Atmospheric Death Metal, 
lots of tremolo melodies, varied tempo changes 
and colourful keyboards, pretty ok actually, for 
a low budget recording. The remaining two tracks 
share a more traditional, mid tempo, eighties styled 
Metal sound; “Desperate Dog” starts out with MAIDEN 
inspired guitars, sounding almost identical to 
the bridge in “Fear Of The Dark”, very melodic 
track, whereas “Necromenicied” (come again?) 
sounds like a lost THRESHOLD
 (English Progressive Metal band) ballad.
That´s pretty much it, not the best of demos, still, 
I´ve heard worse.
