Exclusive video interview with Mordrid about the new album and the history of The Reticent!
Influences
Conceptually, The Reticent acts independently of traditional compositional processes. In other words, no particular sound, genre, or style is intentionally pursued so what is created is simply the musical interpretation of the specific emotion(s) at the moment of composition.
Musical Roots: Terry Reid, Steve Von Till, Opeth, B.B. King, Al Di Meola, Tool, Metallica (1981-1989), as well as others.

The Reticent is the acoustic/experimental solo project of The Torture Cell frontman, Cothurnus mastermind, and Wehrwolfe drummer Mordrid.
Begun in 2002 officially as The Seventh Circle then subsequently undergoing the moniker change to The Reticent, it was conceived and continued as a means of coping for its founder and remains to this day a one man project. Focusing intensely on sadness and all its brethren, The Reticent is meant to purge such sorrow or torment not to glorify it. Drawing solely from life experience the lyrics and concepts behind the music are all sincere and painfully revealing. Inspired by such unique acoustic acts as Terry Reid and Steve Von Till as well as more popular groups such as Opeth, The Reticent attempts the age old art of personal expression and relinquishment of pain through its strangely hypnotic music.

I can not really write a true review of The Reticent’s music or live shows without being seen as having partial and bias influences over my thoughts since H&H Records is the label honored to work with such a talented artist as Chris Hathcock. However I would like to mention a few thoughts on the performance I saw this evening at Volume 11 Tavern in Raleigh, NC. Mind you this was my first time ever seeing The Reticent perform live. Already familiar with the beautifully emotional material obviously, for awhile I have looked forward to seeing how The Reticent would go over in a live setting. With much anticipation I arrived to see how others would respond to what Chris has created. Disappoint I was not at all. Even though the turn out was less than desired, the reaction of those present was somewhat overwhelming. The music of The Reticent has always seemed to be somewhat difficult to classified, so what kind of audience can this be presented to? Yet it has one element that can pull listeners from any genre, that is the powerfully emotional music itself. The Reticent seemed to have everyone in the venue captive through the entire set. Even the door guys, bouncers, and bartender seemed drawn in. Not a person strayed from watching the stage, and nothing was heard but what was being played in front of the crowd. Not a word could be heard in conversion throughout the club while he played. After each song the crowd would respond in applause then slip back into their fixated state of mind with the first chord of the next tune. As one would look around you could see the few lights reflecting in peoples glazed over eyes, while others just looked tense from the deep emotional vibes in the room. For some the tears streamed down their cheeks. I have seen many, many bands and performers live over several years now and I have never seen one grab attention like that. I truly believe that no matter how big or small or whatever the situation may be The Reticent will alw
So, anyway, I've got a dark blue, a green metallic, a bright orange, and two white pedals on my pedal board, and I don't know which one to mash!!
The orange one is bright, stands out, and screams, "Press me!!", which pisses me off, because I'm a guitarist, and I want all the attention!!
The green one is the newest, so I don't want to hit that one because it's so expected of me.
The two white ones confuse me because I never know which one is which. One will repeat everything I play, which also pisses me off, and the other one will turn everything off and tell me I'm out of tune!!
That leaves the blue one, but I can't really tell that it does anything at all, so what's the point??
yeah lookin forward to it too :) One of our lead singers wont be performing (I just had surgery) But we have a few songs that can be done with out me!! Lookin forward to hearing you play
Hey, thanks for friending me! I'm just a local who never knew where 2 go so I built this site in my spare time. I also made up a place where we can post events, like local bands' gigs and stuff. Check it out and let me know what you think. The site's address is yourareacode.com. Thanks again!
