Not only does Kakko actually sing throughout all of the songs, but the rest of the group frequently back him up. Equally rewarding is when the band decide to collaborate vocally, showcased on damn-near every chorus. No one in the band is out to steal the spotlight, since Silence is a truly collective effort Mikko Harkin and Tony Kakko make a deadly combo on keyboards, reinforced by ever-enthusiastic guitar and drum work from Jani Liimatainen and Tommy Portimo, respectively. The entire band take full advantage of their resources and explore the power metal terrain with a sense of familiarity and growing wisdom. Imperative to this realization is the upheaved production Ecliptica's grating, high-pitch notes have been refined to allow a far glossier and entrancing sound to arise. In a matter of seconds, this eerie opening suggests what kind of force Silence will become. Nik Van-Eckmann, who'd return for Reckoning Night, introduces the album with a few spoken words. Yet Sonata Arctica managed to make me feel like a total fool in my lack of suspicion Silence proves itself a steadfast solidification of the Finnish band's take on symphonic-infused power metal. Though far from offensive, Ecliptica accomplished little more than what could be expected from a debut album, especially given the territory. I certainly didn't expect to be enthralled by Silence, not after its unbecoming predecessor. There's something to be said about those albums that catch you off-guard, the ones that suddenly seize your attention and enamor your ears.
