SILENE was formed in the fall of 2004 to to bring their own personal touch into the dark scene of Finnish gothic music.
They started their musical path by playing Siouxsie And The Banshees covers, which was the music they all enjoyed and knew they were not alone. After a couple of rehearsals, the band was soon engaged with writing and playing their own songs and it became clear that they should definitely continue making music together.

SILENE derives their musical influences from the traditional gothic rock, but don’t be afraid to spice their music up with the elements of punk, pop, classical music, or any other genre that suits their tastes.

The members of the band have a long and varied musical background in bands like Fucking Finland, Kuolleet Kukat, Fury Raven, Dancing Golem, SinMasters, Two Witches, Suruaika, tour musician for Love Like Blood - just to mention a few.
