Pittsburgh hardcore/metal juggernauts 156/SILENCE have released their ferocious new EP, “Don’t Hold Your Breath,” today produced by Andy Nelson (Weekend Nachos), mastered by Will Putney (Every Time I Die, The Ghost Inside, Knocked Loose), the new record features four powerful tracks with a thematic ode to inescapable chaos and a prime study in calculated foresight.

“In 2020 the world went into lockdown, and widespread panic ensued. Many of us were isolated from our family, friends, and the lives we knew as we watched it all unfold. A lot of us experienced overwhelming feelings of fear, anxiety, helplessness, and uncertainty as we retreated further into ourselves. We as a band found something in that isolation, in the darkness of our thoughts. These are songs of reflection, loss, regret, and loneliness. At the end you might ask yourself if it was all just a dream? To that we say, Don’t Hold Your Breath.”
