Jämsänkoski, Finland (1995 – present)
Silentium is a dark gothic metal band whose songs often talk about love, pain, sorrow, and yearning. The band formed in Jämsänkoski, Finland in 1995. The band currently consists of Riina Rinkinen (female vocals), Juha Lehtioksa (guitars), Toni Lahtinen (guitars), Matti Aikio (bass, vocals), Sami Boman (keyboards, vocals), and Jari Ojala (drums).
Silentium’s first demos and EPs have been released in tape format, and their albums have only been released in Europe and some Asian countries, although Silentium’s last single (Dead Silent) has been uploaded to some Finnish music legal sites to download worldwide.
The story of Silentium goes back to December 1995 into the ashes of a death metal/gothic metal band called Funeral. From the remains of Funeral, keyboardist Sami Boman and original vocalist Matti Aikio created Silentium by adding violin player Jani Laaksonen, guitarists Toni Lahtinen & Juha Lehtioksa and drummer Jari Ojala into the line-up.
Silentium’s first recording was the four-song-demo-tape “Illacrimó” which was released in the end of year 1996. Their second, six-song Ep-tape “Caméne Misera” was released in 1998 and featured female vocals by Tiina Lehvonen who then became a permanent member of the band. This second tape caught the attention of Sami Tenetz who was at the time setting up his record label Spikefarm.

I'm talking specifically about "Empress of the Dark," which has best song ever potential but is ruined by a certain someone's off-key shrieking.

This band would be so good if Matti would SHUT THE FUCK UP. Riina is an amazing vocalist; either compliment her with an equally good voice or just let her sing by herself. Silentium would be my favorite band if Matti didn't ruin each and every song he "sings" in.

Seducia is the best album so far from this group. I really love the song "Hangman's Lullaby".
