Confession by Silence is a melodic death metal band based in Hamburg, Germany. Since its formation, Confession by Silence has combined aggression with emotion. High-energy Melodic Death Metal — independent and innovative, with a perfect blend of catchy melodies and varied rhythms. Alongside sophisticated guitar work and emotional, passionately dark vocals, Confession by Silence have the courage to incorporate genre-untypical elements into their dynamic, brooding sound. In doing so, they create powerful and fresh music without denying their musical roots.

Without scene clichés or silly provocation, it is purely the music that reflects the band’s passion. In addition to lyrics that portray the brutal realism of our time, it’s especially the instrumental side of Confession by Silence that stands out for its complexity. Founded in 2009, the band impresses above all with their high standards for their own music.

Confession by Silence’s style can best be described as Melodic Death Metal, though their compositions also feature progressive, punk-like, and even epic nuances. This doesn’t exclude listeners — quite the opposite: thanks to this diversity, the band is able to captivate a wide audience.

Musically, Confession by Silence stand out above all through the interplay of melodies and atmospheric layers.

Lyrically, the band focuses on socially critical themes — addressing topics such as the role of the individual in society and the desire to break free from conventional norms.

Accordingly, Confession by Silence also break with tradition in their live performances, aiming to deliver a unique and unforgettable experience for the audience. Confession by Silence aren’t just loud — they leave a lasting impression.

Who we are

Confession By Silence - Clements

clemens

Guitars

Clemens shreds so hard his guitar strings file for workers’ comp. Legend says his solos are just him arguing with his GPS in musical form.

Confession By Silence - Paul

Paul

Keyboards

Paul doesn’t play the keyboard — he summons ancient synth spirits with caffeinated wizardry. His right hand plays Bach while his left orders pizza online.

Confession By Silence - Denis

Denis

Vocals

Denis sings with such power, microphones file restraining orders. His vocal range starts at “gentle breeze” and ends somewhere around “summon thunder”.

Confession By Silence - Vic

Vic

Guitars

Vic plays guitar like he’s negotiating a pasta deal — fast, passionate, and slightly threatening. Every riff comes with a side of marinara and a mandatory “Mamma mia!”

Confession By Silence - Nils

NIls

Bass

Nils lays down basslines so solid, even Olaf Scholz would crack a smile — probably. He’s got the groove of a funk god and the expression of a man calculating Germany’s annual CO2 budget.

Confession By Silence - Chris

Chris

Drums

Chris hits the drums like they owe him money — with precision, passion, and just a hint of chaos. Scientists still can’t explain how he keeps perfect time while pulling drummer faces that deserve their own emoji set.
