It’s hard to make out what the band looks like from that official promo picture since they were apparently radioactive at the time so here’s a headshot gallery from their official website:
Four drag queens or four lesbians?
SILENT OPERA’s label describes them as, “ageless symphonic metal, traversing the terrain between the rhapsodic romance of Mother Earth/Silent Force era Within Temptation, the dynamic drama of Nightwish and the theatrical thrill of Phantom of the Opera.”
The band’s own biography reads like the vocalist Lady Victoria’s foursome sex fantasy rife with weak sexual metaphors so bad they could have been stolen from a 14-year-old’s Twilight fan fiction.
“Together, they ploughed the ages: it was said that they were lovers, but they couldn’t be, since for them it was forbidden, and they both knew the curse.”
That curse is this music video.
Notes:
- If you manage to make it through the whole song you’ll notice the vocals keep getting worse to the point that if they sounded that way from the start you’d swear this was a parody.
- Despite these vocals being entirely clean I’m still unable to tell what language this is.
- There’s a point that you can’t fool anyone with a corset any more and Lady Victoria passed that up 10 pant sizes ago.
- Is this that chick that used to be with Cradle of Filth or are fat women with their hair dyed an unnatural shade of red just a thing in this subgenre kind of like hobos and crust?
- I know joking about the dudes in these bands looking like they’re wearing women’s clothing is low hanging fruit but I swear the bassist straight up bought a blouse at Dress Barn.
- Why is the drummer on a ship and everyone else is in some garden and a gazebo?
- 1:02 what’s with the ear piece? Is he piping in some other music so he doesn’t have to hear Lady Victoria sing?
- 1:58 look at this smug motherfucker playing with just one hand giving zero fucks.
- 2:29-2:31 Really awkward hug or really awkward shove? Whichever it is he’s clearly smugly satisfied.
- The moral of this “epic” story is that if you go walking through a garden dressed in white, a whale wizard will turn you into a flower.
brb posting this all over the internet.
Great stuff!!!! Lots of laughs had
*looks at head shot of girl (the one with red hair)*
“Well, at least she’s not f- *looks at bottom picture* f-…………..FUCK”
This. So hard.
She actually looks quite decent in the headshot.
only posts pics of face
guaranteed fattie
Yup. Headshot looks kinda decent and then you realize she looks like she ate the previous guitarist.
My favorite is Shadow
dude withe super deep v neck thing looks like a ff character
1. Dat edge blur.
2. I love how none of those dudes looks particularly happy to be there. It’s your damn music video that you’re pouring thousands of Euros into–at least make it look like you’re having a good time “rocking out.”
3. Few things are more pathetic than a band who makes keys/electronics a critical part of their sound but doesn’t even have a buddy sit in on keys for the video. (See also: The Bunny The Bear, a trancecore band more gimmicky than any non-<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FZKm6VUABk" Japanese power metal band could ever dream of being.)
At least the Japanese band kinda got the music right…

Hello, I’m legally required to post this video if “Japan” and “metal” are ever mentioned anywhere on the internet.
That’s what I was thinking too. Every shot of the drummer and the bassist has them with a look of “Why the fuck am I playing this shitty music? God I hate this.” I mean, at least try to pretend you’re enjoying yourself.
He singing regresses into a sound that is similar to the “wee-woo” noises that girl from Kung Pow makes.
WEEOOWEEOOWEEOOWEEOOWEOO
CHOSEN ONE!
WOOWEEWOOOWEEEEEE! WQAARGQ!
WWWWKKKKAAAAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really didn’t want to dislike this, being a symphfag and all but this is pretty abysmal. The Sara Jezebel Deva comparison was immediately what went through my mind.
Maybe she should give Mortiis a call and become internet famous, I heard he digs that kinda style chicks’ feet
The dudes literally look like the prison prags from Oz
SOMEONE GEEV ME SOME TEETS!
Alexandre looks like Dave Foley in drag

massive fucking LOLs were had right there
i dont know if torrid is still around. but that chick works there, or i’ll eat my hat.
in b4 she eats it first
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin’ huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.

10/10.
Great, a symphonic Metal group featuring Super Saiya version of Goku, Gohan, Vegeta, and that fat Android #16
There’s a point that you can’t fool anyone with a corset any more and Lady Victoria passed that up 10 pant sizes ago.
Quick, give this man a Nobel Prize!
Any field will do, from literature to quantum study of scene whales!
I like some symph metal but i agree this is abysmal. You were dead right about the vocals getting worse as time goes on lol. The last bit is painful. I don’t know if she is purposefully trying to sound tuneless because it’s the end of the song and that’s what they were “going for”, but I doubt it.
Also lol @ that third pic when you realise how wide she is.
Dear Alexandre: Stop using my name, or at least use a less badassed variant. I know we’re both named after a dude who used to fuck his best friend in the ass, but you’re still too fggy for it.
BOOM!
Well, by the looks of Alexandre, we know where Titus went at the end of FFX.
Lost my shit at “chosen one! Weewewowowee”
I was a little suspicious of why that chicks head was twice as big as the rest of her band in the first picture.
ICEBERG CONFIRMED
Ugh, I really wish it *was* a Silent Opera. HIYO!
http://www.hiyoooo.com/
How come none of the bandmembers have ponytails? This is the epitome of ponytail metal.
These dudes look like average clubbin’ douchebags (if they were wearing “normal” clothing ofcourse).
wow, yet more evidence that italians can’t/shouldn’t be allowed to do metal. for more hilarity, look at abgott, skylark and centvrion.
But Italy has also given us Ephel Duath, Pychofagist and Zu.
Dude’s name is Shadow. I can’t imagine him having any good times in high school.
This kinda reminds me of old Metal Inquisition stuff, which is not a bad thing!
nobody would smash Blossom @ 1:24?
“1:02 what’s with the ear piece? Is he piping in some other music so he doesn’t have to hear Lady Victoria sing?” – hearing protection brah, all the smart musicians use them. looks fucking stupid, but you’ll have YOUR hearing at age 40, when all your bros get out of symphonic dubstep and start doing something real w/ life
is she singing about a guy, or the chick at 1:24? not sure.
needs moar singing lessons. She’s singing flat and with awkward vibrato, and I also couldn’t understand a damn word after the 2 minute mark
But does he really need to wear them for THE VIDEO SHOOT?
That chick loves to fuck, you can tell by that look on her face. If u guyz haven’t done a fattie WOOD SMASH, but don’t tell anyone afterwards.
“don’t tell anyone afterwards.”
So don’t do things like announce it on the internet?
Burn.
This reminds me of that Metal Inquisition post about that terrible prog metal band. Maybe they will do a split 7″ and release it on Slap-A-Ham’s symphonic metal spin-off label.
all the instrumentalists look super awkward. it reminds me of the first show i ever played…
I hear some Blind Guardian riff ripping. Which is good. Everything else about this is bad.
“Why is the drummer on a ship and everyone else is in some garden and a gazebo?”
I think he’s supposed to be a pirate or something, which would explain why he’s dressed like Adam Ant.
So, if they have this ridiculous backstory about evil immortals and whatever, why didn’t they make the video about that?
Did they think I want to watch five minutes of goofballs standing around in a garden doing nothing?
I think when you’re immortal you can either stand around bored cuz you’ve done everything or go full Highlander on all the other immortals in which case this video wouldn’t exist.
The SIlent Opera Facebook and personal profiles are also amazing. Lady Victoria has not one, but two hideous backpieces. And a softcore Christmas album.
That bio would get an F in any 7th grade English class.
BRB, shooping turkey legs in place of band member faces
Ooooh Shadow is my favorite! <3<3<3 Which one is your favorite?!
I like Rain. He is the dark one. Alexandre is the cute one and Shadow is the funny one.
Alexandre looks like he’s fun, but still serious and has a really deep personality! I love it when band members have personality!
Alexandre is my favourite, he looks like he really knows how to take a dick!!!!!
That + Team Rocket “Butthurt” background = massive lulz.
In b4 butthurt band members?
THIS WRITER KNOWS WHAT’S UP!
You forgot the tag “When a fat white chick starts a band with her gay best friends.”
This
Did she eat that girl at the end?

Looks like she got Butthurt:

And her personal Facebook is lulzy too:

“racism against obese people”
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Does she know that’s one of our memes?
YOU, OWN YOU… YOU ARE THE SHIT…
I bought their album, Immortal Beauty, and it’s wonderfull!!
Listen to their music and certainly will change your mind …
A song isn’t enough to judge …
I repeat…you are shit!
Which member of the band are you? I’m guessing you’re Rain, he seems like the most aggro member.
Also, silly Euro, being the shit is actually a compliment.
What?
I live in Germany (you are free don’t believe me) …. I’m a fan of the band, I’m not a member of the band.
It gives me only discomfort that people judge without cause, and in this way, other people, other bands without valid reasons …
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I love epic symphonic metal. Nightwish, Symphony X, Septic Flesh, Swallow the Sun, Primordial, etc.
I recognize, however, that there are really stupid things about this kind of music that are easy to make fun of. I don’t feel bad about it, and neither should you – I’m not trying to be hurtful. I’m affirming my love of cheesy metal with synth orchestras by taking the piss out of it. I make fun because I care
That’s what this whole site is about.
Dear sir,
I am what Sgt. D would call an “Internet Metal Nerd”, and I must say that not only are you taking music far too seriously, but calling this band a third-tier Nightwish wannabe, while true, would be an insult to third-tier Nightwish wannabes.
Thank you for your time,
Godeye.
Saw this on Metalsucks and passed up, but once I saw it posted here, I had to check it out.
And boy am I glad I did.
Also, the picture looks like they decided to take the photo shoot at a wine tasting and the blond dude in the dress was the only one excited for it.
The way the chick’s holding that wine glass and looking at it, I first thought it was a cell phone.
