Brazilian metal veterans Eminence have returned with “Silent March,” a crushing new single and music video that introduces the band’s heaviest and most uncompromising era to date. The track serves as the title song for their upcoming EP, arriving later this year, and features a special guest performance from Andreas Kisser of Sepultura, whose unmistakable guitar work elevates the band’s already explosive sound.
A Defining Moment in Eminence’s Career
Recorded at Denmark’s legendary AntFarm Studios with world-renowned producer Tue Madsen, “Silent March” marks a defining moment in Eminence’s nearly three-decade career, a fusion of Brazilian metal identity, modern heaviness, and global production excellence.
The creation of the new EP began in late 2024, sparked by bassist Davidson Mainart, whose early riffs for “Silent March” allowed the band to complete the track in just two weeks. By early 2025, Eminence entered pre-production at Audio One Studios in Belo Horizonte, collaborating remotely with Madsen in Denmark to shape the EP’s sonic direction.
Guitarist and founding member Alan Wallace describes the release as the band’s most intense work yet:
“I feel like we’ve captured the essence of Eminence while bringing in a heavier, more modern vibe. The guitars are especially intense on this one. The theme of the EP itself exposes structures, questions symbols, and confronts the idea that faith, power, and truth walk hand in hand. Here, there are no kings. There are no gods. Only the constant sound of humanity marching, in silence, through its own ruin.“

A Brutal Portrait of Corrupted Faith
Lyrical and thematically, the single and title track “Silent March” is a brutal portrait of corrupted faith, blind obedience, and violence transformed into a system. The song depicts a voiceless procession marching under power structures built on lies, gold, and suffering, a world where martyrdom becomes industrial, and pain is mass-produced.
Musically, it blends industrial metal, thrash, metalcore, and death metal, delivering a modern, groove-driven assault shaped by Wallace’s songwriting and the band’s collaborative approach.
The single includes a standout guest appearance from Andreas Kisser, whose contribution adds a layer of legacy and intensity to the track. His involvement reflects Eminence’s long-standing connection to the Brazilian metal lineage and its ongoing role in shaping its future.
The “Silent March” Music Video
The “Silent March” music video expands the EP’s themes through stark, symbolic imagery, a world where identity dissolves, faith becomes a weapon, and humanity marches toward its own collapse. The visuals mirror the EP’s narrative arc: the system collapses into mutation, a cycle with no clear beginning or end.
Formed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Eminence has spent nearly 30 years forging a sound that blends extreme heaviness, technical nuance, and modern aggression while honoring the legacy of the Brazilian metal scene. Led by guitarist Alan Wallace, the band has completed over 30 international tours, performing across Europe, Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and the Americas.
Their resume includes appearances at Rock in Rio, Woodstock Festival (Poland), SXSW, CMJ, Summer Breeze Brazil, Knotfest Brazil, Rock Al Parque, and a historic invitation to join Sepultura’s farewell tour.
