SILENT SCREAMS have racked up some seriously impressive credentials during their short time together, having completed extensive tours of Australia and Europe supporting the likes of Bring Me The Horizon, Your Demise, For The Fallen Dreams, Emmure and Parkway Drive, and gaining nearly 70k likes on facebook. Now armed with a new frontman, the Coventry boys are back to conquer their homeland and set off next week on tour with Bleed From Within, before hitting the summer festivals including Download, Ghostfest and Summerjam.

Joel joined the band at the start of 2013 and has helped take the band take their music to the next level. Guitarist Ozzi Osman explains: "We feel that the arrival of Joel has brought a new energy and excitement to us as a band and this is really shining through in the way we now approach writing songs. His vocal range has given us new depth and helped inspire us to write music we never thought we could ever have written before.

We were blown away with the reaction we got for the new single (The Way We Were). We didn't know what people would think of our new sound and new vocalist but the response has been amazing! The release of this single could have gone either way but it went really well. The reaction to Joel was amazing. We are very excited for the future and cannot wait to show the world what we have to offer on the next release."
