dPulse Recordings / Ovrtone Music Group, Inc., and distribution
partners NEO MCC GmbH/ Sony Music Entertainment Germany are pleased to
announce the addition of Sylencer to our growing family of artists for
the European market.

Featuring guests performances by Rob Caggiano (Anthrax); Jordan Rudess
(Dream Theater); Brendon Small (Dethklok); Gene Hoglan (Fear Factory)
and a roll call of many other top names in metal, prog and thrash. The
yet un-named Sylencer debut is the conceptual brainchild of founding
members Markus Johansson (Lead Vocals / Lead Guitar) and Johnny Rox
(Bass Guitar).

Scheduled for release in Europe early Summer 2012, the album is
currently in post-production at legendary Ocean Way Studios,
Hollywood, CA.

The much-anticipated LP is produced by Christian Olde Wolbers (Arkaea,
Fear Factory); Orlando Villasenor and mastered by Maor Applebaum
(Halford; Yngwie Malms****).

A North American release of the debut album from Sylencer is also
expected later in 2012 and an aggressive 2012-13 tour schedule is in
the planning.

Founded in 2003, dPulse Recordings is a US-based independent label and
part of the Ovrtone Music Group. The label releases music across all

Recordings Europe was founded in 2009, and is based in the United
Kingdom. Sylencer is represented by Denver-based Fervent Management
