It is with great regret that we announce that we have parted ways with Reggie Payne. While he’s been a big part of the band over the last couple of years, Reggie has been uncertain about his ability to commit to the band long-term, and has been very gracious and understanding of our need for stability right now. Reg was a blast to play with, and brought some serious talent to the band. We wish him nothing but the best.

On that note, we would like to welcome Chris Helme (Smite The Righteous, ex-The Accursed, Polaris, Withered Sun) to the band. Chris, as many of you know, is very accomplished, and when he offered to fill in, we jumped at the chance. We’re very excited about working with him, and can’t wait to start playing out. Thankfully, that’s only a week away…Hit up Ralph’s next Friday or O’Brien’s in two weeks to see the new lineup in action!

Unfortunately, Reggie’s on the shelf indefinitely due to wrist issues. We are pleased to announce, however, that Chris Helme of Smite The Righteous will be filling in at our next two shows (6/11 @ Ralph’s & 6/19 @ O’Brien’s)! Chris has helped us out in the past as well, so we’re very much looking forward to jamming once again.

We had a fantastic time the other night w/ Master Of Beers @ Walpurgis Nacht! Metal, beer, and cake…What more can you ask for? We’ve got several shows coming up, be sure to hit one up!

A couple of new shows have been booked, and we’ve got some great bands lined up with us. In addition, Dreaded Silence Radio is now online at Last.fm, featuring DS, Opeth, Katatonia, Porcupine Tree, and more. Go check it out, it’s a good time. Lastly, we’ve got T-shirts available – check out the design and contact info under the media section on the right!

We’ve just finished our new demo, Life Hangs Motionless! The new tracks our featured on our ReverbNation player in the right column. If you like what you hear you can download the mp3s. Help spread the word!

Dreaded Silence has been fairly busy as of late recording our new demo and having a photoshoot. Check the new songs (Natural Born Disaster and Captivity) out on our ReverbNation player. Samples of our photoshoot with Jason Oldham can be found on the Gallery page.

Metal Thursday, as always was an excellent time, despite the Bruins being eliminated from the playoffs during our set. We’re continuing to get tighter with the addition of Reggie behind the kit, and our sets are proof. Thanks to Chris for three awesome years of Metal Thursday!

Thanks to everybody who made it out to Club Oasis last night – it was a rockin’ good time. We debuted a new song, “Captivity”, and brought back an oldschool DS track, “Reflected In Glass Eyes”. Overall, a fantastic evening. Extra thanks to Tom for booking us! Next up, Metal Thursday on May 14 w/ Shroud Of Bereavement, Frozen, and Rohirrim!

It’s been more than a year, but Dreaded Silence makes its long-awaited return to the stage on April 11, 2009! DS will be headlining, with support in the form of Withered Sun (featurning ex-The Accursed members Jon and Chris Helme) and New Jersey’s Divinity Destroyed.
