Silencing the sun is the second full-length album by progressive metal combo BlackCube. In this opus, the band explores the human psyche, its torments and the means of coping with them. The tracks follow the circumvolutions of human soul, exploring willingful submission, authoritarianarism, fantasy, resignation and abandon. The music is a blend of hard rock and progressive rock, with a twist of heavy metal, resulting in a more personnal and accomplished album. The keyboards enhance the personnality of the tracks, growing them into landscapes that can be dark and gloomy or dreamy and epic. Backing vocals are used to add a more human element to the ensemble.
