  • My Silent Wake are a British gothic death/doom metal band who were formed from the ashes of Ashen Mortality. The band was formed in 2005 in Weston-Super-Mare in North Somerset. Initially the band was created by Ian Arkley with other ex Ashen Mortality members Jasen Whyte and Andi Lee. Alan Southorn and Kate Hamilton also joined within the first few months. My Silent Wake have many other elements to their music; as well as doom/death they have a lot of influences from folk, mediaeval music and progressive/psychedelic rock. The band recorded and mixed an EP in one day, which they released in limited numbers. The EP gained them a contract with Bombworks Records in America. The debut album Shadow of Sorrow was soon recorded, again in a very short space of time and released the following year (2006) to positive reviews and an excellent response from fans of Ian's former projects as well as new fans. In 2006 My Silent Wake recorded an ambitious double album entitled The Anatomy of Melancholy which featured 2 discs, one of doom metal and one of mainly acoustic songs. The band started playing live in 2007 and played in Switzerland, Norway and the UK. Due to a wrist injury, Jasen was unable to drum live, so Steve Allan (who also co-produced and engineered all the recordings) stepped in on live drums, whilst Jasen provided additional vocals. Steve Allan is now a full time member of the band and has recorded some drums for the forthcoming third album, which was recorded in March 2008. Jasen has also recorded some of the drums for the new album. The album is expected to be released in September 2008, and is currently entitled A Garland of Tears with the single "Cruel Grey Skies" available for pre-listening on MySpace. Powerplay magazine gave the album 8 out of 10 points, and Kerrang! gave it 4 out of 5 points. They were voted for UK Metal Underground's Top 12 "the best of British metal 2008" list.
