156/Silence

About

156/Silence is a Pittsburgh-based hardcore band that has carved a niche for itself in the chaotic intersection of metalcore, mathcore, and post-hardcore. Known for their visceral energy and unrelenting sonic intensity, the band delivers a sound that feels like a controlled explosion—raw, cathartic, and meticulously crafted. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Norma Jean, 156/Silence blends jagged riffs, frenetic rhythms, and emotionally charged vocals into a soundscape that is as punishing as it is poetic. Since their formation in 2015, 156/Silence has steadily built a reputation as one of the most exciting acts in the underground heavy music scene. Their 2018 debut album, *Undercover Scumbag*, showcased their ability to balance technical precision with unbridled aggression, earning them a dedicated following. The release of *Irrational Pull* in 2022 marked a significant evolution, with the band exploring darker, more introspective themes and refining their chaotic sound into something even more cohesive and impactful. 156/Silence’s cultural impact lies in their ability to channel personal and societal turmoil into music that resonates deeply with their audience. Their live performances are legendary, characterized by an almost spiritual connection between the band and their fans. Collaborations with artists like Knocked Loose and appearances at major festivals have further cemented their status as a force to be reckoned with. Currently, 156/Silence is touring extensively and working on new material, promising to push their sound even further into uncharted territory.
