Rejka
lead vocals
Rejka was born in a small town in the middle of Sweden 1989.
Right from the start her parents knew that she would be a singer. (little did they know it would be in a metal band)
Her energy was always on top and when she a got a cassette player at the age of two her life really took a turn into the music world.
She wouldn't let go of that cassette player and wouldn't stop singing along to all the silly kids songs.
Sebastian
guitar, growl and backing vocals
Sebastian started of as a kid listening to his father (who played drums in a trash metal band) and at that point he knew wanted to embrace the world of music.
As the years went by, playing the guitar in countless of bands, he ended up finding the band - Reclaim The Silence. With passion and creativity in his veins and from experience of the metal world he has now reached his childhood goal.
Daniel
guitar and backing vocals
Since a young age, Daniel has always had three things more important than anything else in his life; family, friends and music.
The intrest in guitar started in his teenage years when he started playing Guitar Hero relentlesly and was looking for a harder difficulty than Expert in the game. Thus came his uncle in-law, who has been playing guitar for over 35 years, to help him start out and after that, he was hooked. After countless hours, blistered fingers and love for the craft that is music he became eager to find a band to play with, he started putting himself out there with "ads" on all kinds of forums to no avail. Little did he know that a certain band would pick up his scent and gave him a chance to show his worth and is since 2018 part of a band he now can call his second home and family, Reclaim The Silence.
Marcus "Kongen"
Bass guitar
At the age of 6 Marcus found his mothers record collections with bands like Deep purple, AC/DC and meat loaf. That was the first spark of love for rock'n'roll and heavy metal.
At 10 years of age Marcus found In flames, Metallica and pantera and was sold on the heavyer style of metal and desided to pick up an instrument. Marcus started playing guitar but after a year Marcus said "F*** chord!", switched to bass guitar and fell in love with the low end sound and with it started to idolizing Peter iwers, Jason newsted and Rex Brown.
