Order of Silence

“The record they never recorded”

Longtime music veteran Graham Perry has teamed up with multi-talented musician-producer-engineer Brad Cole to create this full-length alternative rock LP. Having been apart since their days at Belmont University in 1985, Perry and Cole reunited at a funeral after a mutual friend and former Order of Silence band mate, Ernie Aguilar was brutally murdered in Nashville. The pair decided to record and release “the record they never recorded” to pay homage to their friend and the band’s musical legacy which was immortalized in the book The Other Side of Nashville, by Rev. Keith A Gordon. The result is the self titled Order of Silence, which exhibits modern production with a hint to 1980s alternative rock.

As a former writer for Crutchfield Music in Nashville, Perry has drawn from his rich song catalog to enhance the band’s repertoire, while Cole’s writing, engineering and production contributions help to create its unique sound. Brad met Graham at Belmont University in 1985 where they formed Order of Silence, recording demos and playing locally as a part of Nashville’s vibrant indie rock scene. Brad’s prowess as a musician, engineer and producer was honed by these live shows, as a member of Belmont’s show band Company, and as a result of countless studio sessions.
