Breaking the Silence
Self- released by Flawed Element

Flawed Element do not do things by half- they go all out in, well, Breaking the Silence.
The home-grown metal-industrial collective’s debut album is a monster that goes for the jugular.
Frontman Joe Chahal is wont to screaming ever so ofter, vocals shredded amid febrile guitars, thuderous drums and creepy F/X in Dcars and Wall of Lies.
Thematically, it’s the usual terrain of misanthropy and apocalyptic doom, but the band display sinewy talent in showing their quieter, vulnerable side.

Chahal’s wearied croak is buffed by piano and mournful violins in Nothing Remains and the last track, Worms On Concrete 2.0, which boosts hints of prog-rock and Radiohead-esque derringdo, proving they can still sojourn into frontiers yet discovered.
