Dead Silence by Billy Talent
Dead Silence is an album by Billy Talent, released in 2012. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 2 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Viking Death March”, on 1 list with a best position of #15.
Dead Silence, Billy Talent's fourth studio album, came out on September 11, 2012, with the Mississauga band's own guitarist, Ian D'Sa, producing. The lineup was the one they'd had since forming in 1993: Benjamin Kowalewicz hollering up front, D'Sa's guitar slashing and spiralling, Jonathan Gallant on bass and Aaron Solowoniuk on drums, and the pop-punk bite comes with an arena-sized roar.
"Viking Death March" led the way in May, a war chant of a single that earned a Juno nomination for single of the year, and "Surprise Surprise" followed in August and went to number 1 on the Canadian rock/alternative chart. A full UK tour kept them busy through October and November.
