The band, “Across Silent Hearts”, was formed in summer 2011 under the name “Remember This Day”
by drummer Igor Kononchuk and guitarist Anton Chernik. Their first performance took place on September 18th 2011. The repertoire of the group included covers of the famous metalcore bands and some songs that were written by the band. The group performed a series of concerts throughout that year, gradually changing their style from metalcore to transcore.
On February 2nd 2012, the band decided to change the name “RTD” to “Across Silent Hearts”, due to some sharp changes in the stylistic, concert program, and set list of group. The band started to prepare a new material, consisting of songs with a lot of electronic passages and catchy choruses.
On March 26th Pavel Smolin joined the band, and as of March 31st, he was performing with them on second guitar. The milestone day, March 31st, 2012 is the Official birthday and launch date for the band “Across Silent Hearts”. After a successful performance the band decided to record demo-versions of songs so that they could have the opportunity to gain experience in the Studio, as well expand into some serious musical and artistic territories. Because club and concert venue promoters and organizers always demand recordings and records before booking groups to perform, instrumental song components were quickly prepared and recorded. But, there were some difficulties with vocals caused by the fact that the lead singer was dealing his own life’s troubles, spending all his free time on a side project. In the beginning of May, a mutual decision for him to leave the band was reached. In the same month, screamer Nikita joined and the current guitarist Pavel began to do all the clean vocals.
In July 2012, the musicians of “Across Silent Hearts” presented their fans and listeners with
"Demo 2012". This release consisted of 6 songs that were written in February. Although ambiguously greeted by some audiences, the record made “Across Silent Hearts” well-known in knowledgeable circles and with those in the local underground music and club scenes.
In autumn 2012, the band continued to grow, performing at concerts in Minsk and other cities in Belarus. While performorming those shows, the band made plans to record an EP release entitled “Above the sky”. However, as was the case recording “Demo 2012”, not everything went according to the plan. This time, the cause was the large amount of material the band wanted to release. The very idea of a creating a full-length recording seemed an unattainable dream, but by the end of December instrumental drafts were written and on a half of the songs the lyrics were ready. The group met 2013, high hopes and aspirations.
Unfortunately 2013 began soon after a not so pleasant event.. Towards the end of 2012 bassist / guitarist Alexander lost contact with the group and did not participate in the writing / recording new material, citing his oppressive student workload. In January, the number of members in the group was reduced to four.
However, “ASH” started to record vocal and instrumental song components while continuing to modify and redefine the concept for their upcoming album project.
In May, the group sent in only their “A list” (best) material to Anthropocide Studio after settling on a carefully chosen, cooperative and talented professional record producer.
On June 26th, “Across Silent Hearts” proudly released their newest album “On Your Side”.
This Full-length recording brought the group to a new level, and the number followers and fans increased significantly. Not stopping for a moment, the band immediately began writing and recording new material.
However, the band faced some obstacles after recording and releasing their latest album, among them them, lack of a good equipment, the continuing search for a fifth member, and like most new bands, financial ups and downs came and went . In autumn 2013, the band recorded the new songs drafts, choosing only their best songs for their newest creative album recording project.
In January Vitovt joined the group as a bass player. On the March 8th 2014 , “ASH” released a cover version of the song “Unconditionally” by world famous recording artist and singer Katy Perry, it was very well received by critics and fans alike. On June 18th 2014, another cover was released. “Ultraviolence” (by Lana Del Rey) and within just one week, the guys in the band released their newest single "My Home" to their largest fan base yet. “Across Silent Hearts” also hit a huge facebook milestone with over 7,777 likes to their official facebook fan/community page.
Update: In early July, the group has begun to work with the global manufacturer of guitar strings, pickups, and accessories, Dean Markley USA. Stand By to hear Across Silent Hearts in your country soon …
