In late 2010 an idea was born between Paul Logue (Eden’s Curse) and James Murray to put together a Melodic Metal band of talented musicians that were predominately Scottish based.

Logue turned to seasoned Edinburgh based Drummer John Clelland (The Jack), whom he had been working alongside on another musical project, and young Renfrewshire based Keyboard player Scott McLean (Falloch / ex-Concept Of Time), who had auditioned for Eden's Curse previously and shown promise. With Murray taking up the Bassist position, the search proved fruitless in recruiting a Scottish based Vocalist and Guitarist with a certain je ne sais quoi that would separate the band from the herd.

Logue, further utilising his contacts, turned to young guitar virtuoso Ben Randall (ex-Power Quest) whom he had previously managed and rated extremely highly. Randall had been gaining a reputation as one of the rising guitar stars of his generation and won the “Most Promising Young Guitarist” title at the 2008 London Guitar Idol contest at just 17 years of age against some 750 international entrants.

"It was all about finding the right musical vehicle for Ben" stated Logue. "This kid is technically one of the most astute guitarists I have ever come across, yet his ability to produce stunning melodies will embarrass the most seasoned of players. Ben is a massive part of the way this band sounds" he went onto add.

The final piece of the jigsaw was the addition of a top drawer vocalist. Enter experienced Brazilian singer Gus Monsanto (ex-Adagio / Timo Tolkki's Revolution Renaissance / Takara) who completed the line up and Code of Silence was born.

"I met Gus at MelodicRockFest 2 in Elgin, Illinois when Eden's Curse performed there. I was very familiar with his work, with Timo Tolkki (Stratovarius) and especially due to my close links with David Readman (Pink Cream 69 / Voodoo Circle / ex-Adagio), whom Gus replaced in Adagio. In fact, I think Gus was surprised I knew who he was ha ha" commented Logue. "He is a very personable guy and a fantastic vocalist. I immediately thought of him and made my approach and he jumped at the chance. I think we both had a good feeling about working with each other, and we were both proved right" added Logue.

With Logue overseeing the writing and production of the album, which begun in earnest, with the group producing a two track demo featuring "Here To Heaven" and "Witches Of November" to test the water. Produced at Masquerade Ball Studios in Bishopton by Logue and mixed by American mixing engineer Fred Slackery, the demo convinced the band that this was more than workable. In fact it exceeded their expectations.

Murray added "The sound of the band was exceptional, the musicianship inspirational and the songs were first rate on every level. This was a band with something to say".

It was unanimous, an album had to happen, and at haste.

Over the following months Logue wrote all of the album tracks, along with his main co-writer Murray, who provided the basis for the majority of the lyrical concepts, based upon the Knights Templar, alongside a couple of musical contributions by McLean and Randall.

Logue turned to Eden's Curse colleagues, Pete Newdeck and Alessandro Del Vecchio, for backing vocals and mixing/mastering respectively, with both turning in outstanding contributions.

In November 2012 the band signed to Rubicon Music in Japan and the Belgian based label Mausoleum Records, who will release the debut album in January and February 2013 respectively.

In December 2012 the band filmed their first promotional video for their debut single "Sky Is Falling Down" which will be premiered in late January 2013.

Some two years after hatching the initial plan, Code Of Silence now stand proud beside a stunning debut album that packs melody and power, wrapped in a gloriously punchy and modern sounding metal production. The Melodic Metal world needs to move aside and make room ... there is a new kid in town and this one is silent and deadly!
