8th track of the epic progpower metal opera Virtuality, featuring Emily Leone in vocals

"(Don't) Fear the Silence is the most beautiful and saddest song on the album. Heroes have lost one of their own and they must say goodbyes in order to prepare for the final battle against the villain... This song is the first acoustic ballad from Ultimatium, with the ending chorus bringing in all the instruments. Listeners beware: the song features a sudden, hidden bass solo!"
Ultimatium was birthed out the deep forests of Suomussalmi, Finland. Their 4th studio full-length "Virtuality" follows their independently released "Vis Vires Infinitus" (2015), "New Dawn" (2004, Mastervox Records), and "Hwainoo" (2008, Mastervox Records).

The premise behind "Virtuality" is an introduction of a storyline of four gamers getting stuck in a virtual reality game in a near-future setting. Packed with five amazing lead vocalists, Peter James Goodman (Conquest, ex-Virtuocity), Jukka Nummi (ex-Myon), Emily Leone, Tomi Viiltola (ex-Dreamtale, Perpetual Rage, Viilto) and Matti Auerkallio (Katra, Manzana, SoulFallen), "Virtuality" is a unique storyline about the virtual world, and the dangers of sharing everything in social media, along with up-tempo power metal songs combined with darker elements.

The story album is backed up with lots of background vocals, sound effects and a "narrator"/system voice synthesized with Amazon's Alexa.

The album introduces the best parts of power and progressive metal combined, including easier up-tempo songs, but also long, progressive mid-tempo tracks. The songs take influence from such bands as Stratovarius, Dream Theater, Symphony X and Rainbow. Especially on tracks "Digital Tower" and "Ghost of Yesterday" where influences from Ronnie James Dio and Ritchie Blackmore are easily heard.

LYRICS:
Don't fear the silence, this is just an end to my nightmares
With words of whisper: shed no more tears for me
And I will fade to darkness, into a dream: silence

On words unspoken, we bid you last goodbye

Don't shed a tear for me, it's all in vain, all in vain

I'm fading to the darkness, to shadows of my past.
I'm falling to oblivion, to shadows of my mind

Don't shed a tear for me, it's all in vain

I'm fading to the darkness, to shadows of my past.
I'm falling to oblivion, to shadows of my mind

I'm fading to the darkness, to shadows of my past.
Falling to oblivion, to shadows of my mind
