From Where Lovers Mourn (2003). Where Lovers Mourn is the debut studio album by Swedish gothic metal band Draconian. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Gibson SG Standard through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the nearest rig we use for Draconian's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "The Cry of Silence" Tone
What guitar did Draconian use on "The Cry of Silence"?
The guitar on "The Cry of Silence" (released 2003) isn't documented; the Gibson SG Standard above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.
What amp settings does "The Cry of Silence" need?
Settings for this sound: Gain 7.5, Bass 6.5, Mid 5.5, Treble 5.5, Presence 5.5, Volume 7. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "The Cry of Silence" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "The Cry of Silence" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
