Stockholm-based post-punk trio Then Comes Silence have released their latest single, ‘Bye Bye Land’, preceding the release of their eighth studio album, Requiem Ballroom, scheduled for release on November 20, 2026, through Metropolis Records.
The New Single and Album Context
‘Bye Bye Land’ serves as the third preview from the 12-track collection, following the singles ‘Judgement Day’ and ‘Remaker Redeemer’. According to vocalist and bassist Alex Svenson, the track addresses themes of mental health, compassion, and the resilience required to support loved ones through personal trauma.
Formed in 2012, Then Comes Silence currently operates as a trio featuring Svenson alongside drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie. The forthcoming record follows their 2024 full-length release, Trickery.
Production Details and European Tour
Requiem Ballroom is structured into two distinct parts: ‘Ballroom’ and ‘Requiem’. The album was produced by Svenson, with mixing responsibilities divided between Jon Bordon and Tom van Heesch. Mastering was handled by Svante Forsbäck at Chartmakers.
Alongside the single, the band has announced a European co-headlining tour scheduled for January 2027 with Swedish label-mates Agent Side Grinder. The tour includes scheduled performances across Germany, France, Belgium, and Denmark.
