SILENT RAGE: New Video Interview Posted Online

Argentinean rock journalist Lucas H. Gordon, who currently resides in Hollywood, California, conducted an interview with SILENT RAGE on May 15, 2009 at Brixton in Redondo Beach, California. Watch the chat below.

SILENT RAGE's fourth studio album, "Four Letter Word", was released in July 2008 via Frontiers Records.

SILENT RAGE is known for its multi-captivating vocals, the unmistakeable blend of melodic and hard rock and signature songwriting reminiscing of the glory days of '80s arena hard rock. "I think our sound can be described as classic arena style hard rock," says singer and guitarist Jesse Damon. "That's what we're considered in Europe!"

"Four Letter Word" is another fine example in the tradition of the band's classic production. "We had a great time staying within the natural progression of our 1989 release 'Don't Touch Me There' and mixing in the sounds of modern hard rock," continues Damon, "All of the tracks, whether lighthearted or serious in nature, have deep meaning to the band members. There's no hidden agenda, just melodic hard rock with contemporary production, written from the heart and soul of four veteran rockers."

SILENT RAGE's latest album was produced by former GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Gilby Clarke who is also credited on the album for his contribution on guitar, keyboards and percussion. "Gilby is a longtime friend of the band," says Jesse. "We were first acquainted with him back in the 1980s when he was playing with his band CANDY. Both bands were performing on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood. Then SILENT RAGE's first tour manager (Bill Greer) went on to work with Gilby in GUNS N' ROSES and we got to see his rise to fame. Our association with him became very close when our bassist EJ Curse began riding motorcycles with him on a regular basis. EJ went on to play bass for a few of Gilby's concerts. SILENT RAGE heard the CD of THE BRONX that Clarke produced and loved it. It was great to work with someone that we had such a long kinship with."

Another very special guest is RATT's Bobby Blotzer on drums and former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, who plays a guest solo on "Man or Machine". "We met Bruce while working with Gene Simmons on the 'Don't Touch Me There' CD," explains Damon. "Bruce co-wrote one of the songs for that disc. Kulick has always been in our circle of friends and a supporter of SILENT RAGE. We always admired his guitar virtuosity, plus he's a great guy. Knowing he lived nearby our recording studio, we had to ask him to do a jam on the CD. We thought it fitting to have him perform on 'Man or Machine' since originally, that song was an idea that Gene Simmons and I started a few years back."
