The Silent Light

On October 8th, step into the dark world of F.W. Murnau’s Faust (1926), accompanied by a haunting live metal score performed by The Silent Light. Murnau’s legendary tale of temptation, damnation, and the supernatural is transformed into an overwhelming collision of silent cinema and crushing sound. One night only at Eulogy in Asheville, NC. About The Silent Light: Founded in 2015 by Michael Formanski, The Silent Light is a musical endeavor that breathes new life into classic silent films through the power of heavy metal. Formanski, composer and film director, crafts each score drawing from the dark and intense realms of black metal, doom metal, and original fantasy soundtracks with influences such as The Body, Sunn O))), Emperor, Summoning, and Nobuo Uematsu. The Silent Light’s performances transform silent films like Metropolis, Faust, and Nosferatu into contemporary masterpieces with their haunting and powerful metal scores. They continue to push the boundaries of what silent film scoring can be, inviting audiences to experience the classics in a way they never have before.
