Because Mark Henry left My Silent Wake in October of last year, the band was forced to look for a new drummer. In the same week they found in Gareth Arlett [Control the Storm / Amputated] a temporary drummer. But earlier last week MSW welcomed Gareth as their permanent drummer. Someone else who is back in the band, is nobody else then Kate Hamilton.
So the band line-up has changed again and the current membership is Ian Arkley – Vocals, Lead Guitar, Adam Westlake Bass, Richard Alden – Rhythm Guitar, Gareth Arlett – Drums, Kate Hamilton – Vocals & Keyboard.
The band’s latest album “Silent Under Midnight” has been released in June 2013 via Bombworks Records.
My Silent Wake‘s roots lie in the death/doom band Ashen Mortality. Ashen Mortality were formed in the early 90′s in Halesowen, West Midlands [UK] and were active for a further 11 years. When the band split in 2005, three of the members went on to form MSW.
The band was formed in the spring of 2005 in Weston-Super-Mare in North Somerset. Initially the band was created by Ashen Mortality co-founder Ian Arkley with other ex Ashen Mortality members.
