1. How did you get started with music and how did you develop your sound?

We didn’t start with music — music started with us. Each of us was drawn to sound long before we met; noise, pauses, rhythm they shaped who we became. When Aurora appeared, everything aligned. Our sound evolved from learning how to listen before playing. It’s the sound of restraint and release, ritual and reflection.


2. What do you want people to take away from your music?

We want people to feel music differently as music available in mainstream. To understand that sound isn’t always volume — sometimes it’s surrender. If our music leaves you quieter than before, more aware of what breathes between notes — then it has done its work.


3. How would you describe your sound to the average listener?

It’s metal without aggression, ritual without religion, emotion without explanation. Some call it alternative, others call it cinematic or sacred and other melodic metal with elements of progression. We combine many musical forms. We don’t define it — it defines the space between us and those who listen.


4. Who are three bands you’d like to tour with?

Sleep Token, Tool, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Dave Weck Band and Wardruna… and many others… Each of them explores devotion, sound, and the sacred in their own language. Sharing a stage with artists like that would feel less like touring — more like a ritual in motion. However, we’re not planning live shows at this moment. Our focus is on delivering the purest form of music that moves through us — and resonates beyond us.


5. What's your thoughts on AI generated music?

AI can replicate sound, but it cannot replicate presence. Music, for us, is a form of offering — something that costs a part of your soul. A machine can imitate the result, but not the sacrifice.


6. What’s your take on the current state of your genre?

The genre is dissolving — and that’s a good thing. Labels are fading, borders are blurring. People are no longer listening to categories, but to feelings. That’s where we exist — in the spaces no longer defined by genre.


7. What’s the current music scene like there where you're based out of

It’s growing in silence — underground, unseen, sincere. There are many who play for the noise, and a few who play for the truth. We stay connected to those few. It’s less a scene, more a communion of quiet creators.


8. What’s your take on the royalties that streaming services pay out to artists?

Royalties measure streams, not souls. We create knowing that music cannot be owned. But yes — the imbalance is real. Art should sustain the artist, not the algorithm. Still, we release our work as a gift — not a transaction. That said, it would be a blessing to live from what we create. Unfortunately, streaming platforms often take more than they give, leaving many artists unheard and underpaid.


9. What’s next for Silent Offering?

A new ritual. We’re preparing the next series of pieces — something visual, spiritual, and cinematic. It’s not just an album; it’s a continuation of the Eclipse, where Aurora, Kael, Varyn, and Nemor appear together again. Each return of Aurora brings transformation. This one will too.


10. Any shoutouts?

To those who listen without needing to understand. To those who found us in the dark. And to the silence that makes all sound possible.
