2016, The Danish melodic heavy metal band Meridian are ready with their second, long awaited album BREAKING THE SILENCE. An album that shows a more varied expression from a matured band and an album that should appeal to fans of Pretty Maids, Evergrey and Mercenary. The debut album was created over a long period of time, and compared to that, BREAKING THE SILENCE was born a lot faster and in a much more smooth process. Most of the songs were written at dedicated writing sessions. One example is ,,Bricks To The Wall". The band was jamming one Sunday morning and within 20 minutes the song was finished, while the amps were still warming up. - Another track ,,Pure Celebration", is an old song that has long been a live classic for the band. The album finishes off with ,,The Meaningless Wrong" which is a power ballad where singer Lars Märker is given the chance to really show his talent and special gift for creating strong melodies.
