Face The Silence Vs The Metronics
England Versus Scotland
Skies Turn Black – Our English competitor for Manchester a Metal band from the North of England whose brand of metal incorporates the elements of Electronic and NWOBHM with an added electronic twist. Always prioritizing a big riff, a blistering solo, and an epic chorus, Skies Turn Black use heavy metal at their core to explore other avenues of the genre that make for a massive live sound. Having included choirs, orchestras, synthesisers, and keytars in their music, Skies Turn Black are ambitious. Taking the stage at Bloodstock 2023, they showed why they had the right to be there, performing to a rammed Jager tent. A band suited for those larger rooms, this was a major step in the right direction, as the band’s momentum continues to build.

Face The Silence – Born from the depths of personal struggle and forged in the fires of Scottish determination, Face The Silence is a hard rock band that transforms pain into power, silence into sound. The band’s origin story is as compelling as their music – formed during frontman and lead songwriter Doug’s father’s cancer battle, the name “Face The Silence” emerged from a pivotal hospital moment. When Doug told his mother he was going to “face the silence” with his unresponsive father, he unknowingly named both his band and his life philosophy. What began as a creative outlet during one of life’s darkest chapters has evolved into a musical mission that resonates with anyone who’s ever had to confront their deepest fears.
“Time doesn’t stop and neither can we.”
This central philosophy drives every song, every performance, every connection Face The Silence makes with their audience. Their music doesn’t just entertain – it empowers. Each track is built around the belief that facing what we fear most isn’t just important, it’s essential. Tracks like “Traitor” dive deep into psychological struggle and self-sabotage, while maintaining the band’s signature message of bravery in the face of adversity. Face The Silence creates music that encourages audiences to rock out to great songs while embracing the deeper message of courage and resilience. Face The Silence delivers hard rock with heart – music that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically. For fans who’ve experienced their live shows, they know this isn’t just a band playing songs; it’s a shared experience of facing the silence together. From Scotland to wherever the music takes them, Face The Silence continues to build a community of fearless souls ready to turn their struggles into strength
