After more than three decades North Ireland rockers SILENT RUNNING are back with a very good new 2022 album titled ‘Follow The Light’, and aside of featuring it here at 0dayrox, we couldn’t resist to post as well their second CD, 1987’s “Walk On Fire“, a personal favorite.
Mixing British new wave, second half of the ’80s American pop-rock and smooth AOR atmospheres, “Walk On Fire” is pure Eighties. For this release the band were picked up by Atlantic Records, becoming the first British or Irish act to join the roster of this legendary American record label.
Largely produced by Terry Brown famed for his work with Rush (two tracks were produced by renowned keyboard player Andy Richards who has worked with Rush, Annie Lennox, Gary Moore), “Walk On Fire” is a vibrant, upbeat mid-Eighties record with all the magic from the era.
Just listen to “Sanctuary”…

Belfast’s SILENT RUNNING released 3 very good album during the ’80s then disbanded at the end of the decade. Reunited in 2019 with its original core members, now we have their first album in more than thirty years – just in time for their their 40th anniversary as a band.
Titled “Follow The Light“, the new album retains SILENT RUNNING trademark sound: a unique blend of ’80s new wave & lite AOR. There was many bands at the time mixing both styles – which we like a lot – and SILENT RUNNING should be the only in 2022 playing this type of music.
You’ll find here melodic vocals, smooth choruses, very cool guitar work and an overall Eighties nostalgic feeling. The good thing is SILENT RUNNING isn’t repeating themselves – they always were an inventive band and that’s confirmed into “Follow The Light”, a disc plenty of interesting commercial tunes with intelligent arrangements…
