"Breaking The Silence" is the debut album by American thrash metal band Heathen, released in 1987 and now available on CD through Century Media Catalog. This record stands as a classic of the Bay Area thrash scene, featuring powerful riffs, melodic solos, and socially conscious lyrics that set it apart from its contemporaries. Tracks like "Death by Hanging," "Goblet of Gore," and the title track showcase Heathen's technical prowess and songwriting skills. The band's blend of aggression with melody has earned them critical acclaim within the metal community.
Heathen was formed in San Francisco in 1984 and quickly became known for their tight musicianship and dynamic live performances. Over the years, they have shared stages with legends such as Exodus, Testament, and Megadeth. Their influence continues to resonate among fans of traditional thrash metal.
Century Media Catalog is renowned for supporting some of the most influential acts in heavy music since its founding in 1988. With a diverse roster spanning various subgenres of rock and metal, Century Media has played an essential role in bringing underground talent to international audiences while maintaining high production standards.
This is Heathen's first album. This is an interesting mixture of thrash and certain power elements. This is largely a thrash album, but there are moments from other directions. The guitars and the vocals both have elements that I would associate with power metal. In my opinion this is just a great album.

Heathen is way too underrated when it comes to thrash metal. The complex guitar riffs and solos always blow me away. One of the best technical thrash bands.

Bay Area thrashers that deserved more attention and recognition.Heathen had brilliant ideas and a lot of inspiration and breaking the silence is almost a masterpiece!
