Ethereal Brooklyn goths and dark dream pop band Silent Mass have delivered their latest single “The Great Chaos.” It “finds beauty in the spiral of self-discovery. It’s a love song about mourning a version of your past self,” proclaims frontwoman Ammo.
Silent Mass invites disciples of Post-Punk, Ethereal Wave, Shoegaze, and ’90s Alternative to a wailing wall of sound that is irresistible for anyone who has prayed for a darker and heavier Enya or is beckoned to embark on a sonic pilgrimage through territories claimed by The Cranberries, Chelsea Wolfe, Cranes, and Dead Can Dance. In sun-drenched pre-pandemic Los Angeles, Silent Mass emerged as a solitary pursuit by Ammo Bankoff.
The music of Silent Mass is not for the faint of heart. It is like chilling in a misty vale, listening to Enya while sipping red wine. The band is currently hailed as “ethereal Brooklyn goths” by Brooklyn Vegan. “The Great Chaos” is off of their forthcoming album set to be released on the Summer Solstice.
