Silence is the second full-length album by Finnish power metal band Sonata Arctica, released in 2001 through Spinefarm Records. It is the only studio album to feature keyboardist Mikko Härkin, who left the band for personal reasons before Winterheart's Guild was recorded, as well as the first to feature bassist Marko Paasikoski.
Lead vocalist Tony Kakko claims Silence to have a more distinctive sound than their previous album, describing the album as more 'mature' and more of Sonata Arctica's own sound than Ecliptica. The album also has an even more emotional setting than their previous album. [1]
Also, Timo Kotipelto (lead singer of power metal band Stratovarius) sang guest vocals on the album.
