Silencer


Silencer was a Swedish suicidal black metal band formed in 1995. They released one album Death - Pierce Me before splitting up. The album had a major impact on the Swedish underground scene at the time, and arguably helped certain bands in the scene to form. The band has been the subject of much controversy, mainly because of several allegations made against their vocalist Nattramn, who was supposedly institutionalized shortly after the album was released, thus forcing the band to split up.

    Fucking great song man! Keep posting these. This guy used to fantasize about killing little girls, you knew this right? And yeah he was in a mental house man... Feels bad, i don't think this was 'cool' or 'brutal', it was stupid because he couldn't handle it, if you're going to fantasize about killing girls do it, but nah this bro was weak, hey post some Bethlehem! Regards my friend.
