Gothic Death/Doom Metal/ Dark Ambient band from North Somerset, UK. Formed in 2005.

My Silent Wake began life in 2005 with three out of four of the members from death/doom band Ashen Mortality, including founder member Ian Arkley. Ian had previously founded the thrash band Seventh Angel, which enjoyed the success of being licensed to the legendary Under One Flag label. Over the years MSW has evolved and recorded many albums; both death/doom based and experimental/folk. They have played in various countries over the years and have received critical acclaim for over their 13 albums and splits.

Their songs have always been influenced by personal experiences of life and the turmoil we all face from time to time, but MSW always search for a glimmer of hope within the misery and confusion.
