Silent Skies

Atmospheric Progressive Metal Duo

Silent Skies is a collaborative project between Tom S. Englund, known as the vocalist and guitarist for the Swedish progressive metal band Evergrey, and Vikram Shankar, a versatile pianist and composer with a background in both classical music and progressive rock. The duo's music is characterized by a blend of atmospheric elements, emotional depth, and melodic sensibility, often featuring piano-driven compositions complemented by Englund's distinctive vocal style. Silent Skies' work represents a departure from the heavier sound of Evergrey, showcasing a more introspective and ambient approach to songwriting. The project has been well-received for its evocative soundscapes and poignant lyricism, appealing to fans of both artists' previous work as well as attracting new listeners who appreciate the more subdued and cinematic nature of their music.
