~ the stars above are looking down ~

Vancouver-based industrial goth project The Silence Industry returns on March 13th, 2026, with their 14th long-form release, “The Stars Above are Looking Down”. The album is a haunting odyssey, comprised of five original compositions, a re-imagined traditional piece, and immersive noise experiments - all fused into the band’s signature progressive-noise-goth style.

Noisy, delay-drenched guitars clash over drum machines and rumbling basslines, conjuring soundscapes thick with anxiety, hope, despair, mourning, and a relentless urge to resist in an increasingly dystopian world. Each track is accompanied by hand-drawn artwork from British zine artist iesorno, reflecting the mood and themes of the songs. A print-it-yourself lyric and art zine further deepens the listener’s journey, offering a tactile connection to the music’s raw emotional core.

“The Stars Above are Looking Down” will be available worldwide across all streaming platforms and download stores. For dedicated listeners, there is an exclusive hidden bonus download on Bandcamp. Physical editions, including CD and vinyl, will be released through Elasticstage, completing the immersive experience for collectors and devoted fans alike.
