It must have been back in the year 1990, when the two guitar players - Markus Sauter (aka Sudel) and Dieter Schwarz - met for a session at 4 o' clock in the morning. Needles to say that beer played the lead part. Because of their many commonalities regarding music, their passion for garlic-pudding, heavy metal and certain barley-juices, there was probably no way around founding a band. Shortly after that, drummer Max Troendle, who used to play on pots and pans, and bass player Marco Braun were bought (for a bottle of Rothaus beer). When Marco left the band, the three decided to hire and train Frank Eichkorn, a frequent quest (and more frequent beer drinker) as the new bass player.

Deep sorrow caused a long break, when drummer and co-founder, Max, died in a tragic traffic accident in 1993. Later, the brother of-a-guitarist and drum genius Peter Sauter alias Bibel (ex-More Attack) replaces Max, but there still remains an empty space amoung them. The only problem was the vocal part. Many have tried, but all of them failed sooner or later. In April 1994 the position was advertised in a local newspaper. The phone did not stand still. Thousands of phone calls. Only to end that stalking, Peter Asmus, aka Pepe (ex-Nosferatu) was hired.

"Reborn"

The music style was something between speed, power, a grain of melodic and progressive mixed melanholic structures. Very tasty. Everything was quite fine, until singer decided in 2003 to dedicate his life to his second passion, repairing scooters. So, the band was voicelesss again and a new quest began. For more than a year it was a mostly desolate being and the band almost split up.

In the year 2005, a band found a new singer, Andreas Simon, whom they worked with for about one year. They only played cover songs back then, no longer composing authors songs. Because Andi got tied to his real-life-job too much, and band no longer wanted to play just covers. Oliver Gantert (ex-Painful Truth) was hired in the hot summer of 2006 as the new singer.

There up on, band decided a new begining with the new name - Source Of Silence. In spring 2007 the group managed to record a five - track Demo with three authors songs. In May 2008, a band released ten-track CD "Reborn".
