With their fifth studio CD ‘POSTHUMOUS SILENCE’ the German art-rock band SYLVAN announces their return and presents at the same time their eagerly awaited first concept album. A complex plot and over 70 minutes of beautiful, touching music is a guarantee for an unforgettable, emotional experience.

Again SYLVAN is able to fascinate the audience with multilayered sound designs, catchy melodies, emotionally intense atmospheres or hard bits, all coupled with complex thematic motifs. The captivating guitar riffs perfectly blend with wonderful melodies, spherical and psychedelic parts, all combined to a whole by the recognizable voice of Marco Glühmann and several instrumental passages.

POSTHUMOUS SILENCE is not only the proof, that SYLVAN is up to the challenge of a concept album, but rather that they are capable of enriching the genre with their own signature and the spirit of today. POSTHUMOUS SILENCE is a real masterpiece of progressive rock!
