FELLSILENT HAVE FALLEN SILENT, BUT BAND MEMBERS HAVE NOT

Speaking of groovy-djenty stuff… the U.K.’s Fellsilent have broken up, according to a post on the band’s MySpace page [sent in by Kyle Heath with the above cartoon]. I’m not exactly stricken with grief; Fellsilent were a decent band but I found them to be a tad generic when it came to this kind of metal.

Though their presence will be missed in the U.K. scene, the band’s members will continue on under various other monikers. There’s guitarist Acle Kahney’s TesseracT, a long-running (and vastly superior) project that’s seemingly always on the verge of releasing an album that never seems to actually come out. Guitarist John Browne and Neema Askari are continuing on with their super-groovy and even more proggy (think: SikTh) band Monuments. In a much less interesting vein, Joe Garrett is rapping in a project called Sonick with Christopher ‘Noddy’ James, and the latter is working as a studio musician, teacher and drum tech.
