STILL QUIET by The Soundbyte

The album Still Quiet transcends musical boundaries, seamlessly blending Norwegian folk traditions with electroacoustic textures and metal influences, creating a sound that defies conventional categorization. Central to the experience are Trond Engum’s distinctive guitar style and Rune Hoemsnes’ signature drumming. They are joined by a carefully chosen ensemble of renowned musicians whose contributions complement the captivating vocal performances of Kirsti Huke and Andreas Elvenes.

The album weaves together unsettling rhythms, innovative guitar work, haunting soundscapes, and strong melodic lines—each track forming part of a greater whole. The music captures the fragile tension between stability and uncertainty, shifting effortlessly from quiet melancholy to uncompromising rawness and intensity.

The Soundbyte was established by one of the pioneers within the Norwegian metal scene in the early 90´s, guitarist Trond Engum, also known as one of the founding members of the legendary The 3rd and The Mortal. The Soundbyte has since 1998 evolved into a powerful creative force, continuously pushing boundaries and exploring new musical territories.
